Here is some more on light numbers from PASB 1998-1.

Peter, Thanks. I don’t know it, just where (or who) to find it.

Jim,

I haven’t run across anything, but will keep my eyes open.

Hi Peter,

Chris Diekman handles the Parts and Services Directory. I got their info and passed it on to him.

Bob,

Thanks, I would like to see the article and will publish it in the PASB as long as that isn’t a problem with CCCA.

I also am skeptical that detergent oil will loosen “chunks”” of deposits that occur when an engine has previously run on non-detergent oil. I would love to see a “”real”” study on the subject.

Robert,

I think we are pretty much in agreement on all of it. I am going to try to stay with oil at the 800PPM level. The link below is to an article by a GM Engineer on oil myths, just in case you haven’t seen it.

Hi Rod,

I spoke with Kent at Clean Sweep a couple of days ago about wiper rebuilding for an upcoming PASB (you’re a couple of months early on your request). He provided lots of information including that he has spare used wiper motors that he can rebuild. I do not know if he knows which one is the correct one for a Series 80 but it wouldn’t hurt to give him a call and ask. One warning, be prepared for a long phone call. He likes to talk about old cars, Pierce-Arrows in particular.

Bill,

Yes, kind of the opposite. You step up into the Pierce and down into the Morgan. Mine is an 03 +8 35th Anniv. with only 8500 miles. It had 750 miles when I purchased it 5 years ago.

I think we’re getting more than slightly off topic, so I’ll knock it off now.

Bill,

Thanks for the good words. That one was a joint effort by a lot of folks. I just organized it. If you have any topics you would like to see in the PASB, let me know. It’s even better if you want to write something.

I think I recall seeing on here at some point you are a Morgan owner. I have a Plus 8.

Hi Tony,

My ’28 reportedly was sold new in New York and it has the fender lights.

Come on over and we can do an unscientific test and put my ’27 and ’28 side by side at night and see which has the brighter lights.

Actually, If there are fender lights under the tree I hope they have a car attached to them…..

Tom,

My 1927 Series 36 has Bracket Headlights. Information that I have on the car says the Bracket Lights were an extra $250 over the fender lights. A lot of money in those days. They do give it a different look, not so easily recognizable as a Pierce-Arrow, maybe not for everybody.

You may also see the Bracket Headlights referred to as “New York”” headlights. This is based on a rumor (unproven as far as I know) that the fender headlights were illegal in New York during that time.

Timing is everything…..

It came from an earlier Message Board thread, so the unedited version is on here somewhere.

Bill,

The soon to arrive Service Bulletin has an article on this same topic with additional information on thread repair and general cooling system information.

Thru 2021 is correct, Donna will be sending you an e-mail with an explanation.

Ronald, I noticed on the AACA Forum that he winters in SoCal, so if you don’t get him, check that forum, I think I saw a winter number.

Brooks and William,

Thanks for the hints. It sounds like I need to refine my search methods.

What I have found on prior owners of my car says it lived in New York up until 2000 when it came to California. So researching information from New York will be my first step.

Would either of you (or both) be interested in putting together a “How to research the history of you P-A”” article together that I could publish in the Service Bulletin?

I am sure there are a number of members that are struggling with finding prior owners of their car and would find the information very useful.

Brooks,

I have been going directly to DMV and getting stonewalled, It sounds like there are some ways to get around the bureaucrats.

I have been trying to get back to the original owner on my 1928, reportedly Al Jolson, so far with no luck. I will try some of the methods you suggest.

Thanks,

Dave

Another option is to click on the “Library”” button on the left side of this page. Enter the information for you car and a list of documents will come up. The Owner’s Manual for your car is available for free download. It has a section on adjusting the brakes.

Eric,

They are a set of files put together by PAS member Bernie Weis with whatever information that he could locate on many Pierce-Arrow cars. They generally include serial/engine number and whatever prior owner information he could locate. It had to have been a massive undertaking.

I think Peter must have access to the information as he provided what there is on your car above.

If you want information on your car from Bernie, you can contact him by U.S. Mail using the address listed in the Roster. He does not do e-mail.

I contacted him by mail when I purchased my car and he responded by phone, so if you mail a request to him, include your phone number.

Did you get my e-mail?

Dave

Eric,

There is a little more information in the PAS records. I will e-mail it to you at the e-mail listed on the PAS roster. Dave
