My bumpers are also nickel plated.
It is strange what people can do to electrical systems.
Chester,
My ’28 Series 36 has Nickel plated trim. Some of it looked pretty dull when I bought the car, but after several polishings, it looks very good. I tried several different brands of metal polish and ended up using Mothers Aluminum Polish.
Did you resolve your ignition switch problem?

Wayne’s business is called CARS. Website is brassauto.com.
Chester,
When I get home Monday I’ll see if I can get a decent picture of the back of my switch panel.

You clicked on the download button on the left? It worked OK for me. Give me an e-mail address and I can e-mail it to you.
If you get a chance more info on the car (body style etc) and a picture or two would be nice. Inquiring minds want to know. I have a ’28 Series 36, 7 pass touring.
Dave
Chester,
Welcome to the PAS.
Go to the “Library” tab on the left, enter 1928 and Series 36 and a list of publications for your car will come up. There is a downloadable Series 36 Owners Manual that has the wiring diagram.
It looks to me that the tab got broken off of the left switch and someone rigged up an alternate switch. The left switch should turn on the left ignition only, the center switch both sides and the right switch the right ignition.

Looking at the current Cal Fire maps, it appears that Rohnert Park is not in a direct fire area. There is one fire a few miles to the east that could become a factor depending on weather. It most likely has impacted one of our tour routes. Most of the fires are less than 5 percent contained and winds are supposed to increase today so at this point nothing is certain.

Hi Randy,
At this point it is probably too early to assess the fires’ impact on next year’s meet. I believe the DoubleTree is not in a direct fire area. Some of the destinations are in or very near some of the fires and may be impacted. There are several PAS members in the area, but I don’t know their status.
One if the hotels we had considered, a Hilton, burned to the ground. I am planning on being in the area next week. If that occurs, I will try to at least get a feel for the impact on the meet. Right now access to the area is pretty restricted. -Dave
My 1928 Series 36 has a Yale and Towne key.
Blaine, I have had that issue also. It seems like downsizing the photos to 1200 pixels or less on the long side cures the problem.
Dave
Dave- It was really great and very much enjoyed, other than it ended way to soon.
Dave
One more.
Here are a few of those Pierce-Arrows parked at the St.Louis Transportation Museum.
Another.
Dave doing his thing. It was really impressive. Sorr,y no video.
Ed,
Being the owner of a ’28 Series 36 I would like to see a picture of it. Sorry I don’t have room for another.
You can also go to the roster page for Paul’s e-mail address.
Dave
Paul Morris is the webmaster. He would probably be the one to ask. Go to the contact PAS tab on the home page to reach him.

Comparing the photos, they look the same to me. I got a lot of spare parts with my car, but no front axle or brake parts. Good Luck on the hunt! The first person I would check with is Pat Craig in Stockton, CA.
Dave
Charles, This photo is of the pass. front side cover of my 1928 Series 36 touring. Sorry I couldn’t get a better angle. If you need any more photos, let me know.
My Series 36 Parts Manual shows that the cover fits the right front side and the left rear side.
Looks like I need to do some cleaning…….
Dave
