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
Steve,
Consider your self very lucky if you have no trouble with your California DMV office. Our local office does everything they can to make it difficult. I am still chasing a refund of a $500 use tax overcharge. I handed the clerk the check, she gave me the paperwork, I told her it was calculated incorrectly, she said too late, too bad, contact Sacramento. No response from them so far. I have may other Cal. DMV horror stories. Anyway, I am off thread…
Eric,
In California, there is a form called a “Statement of Facts”” where you can explain the situation and why your title is OK. After a VIN verification by DMV or Law Enforcement they will accept it. You might check to see if your state has something similar. -Dave”
George,
As of Dec 12 he said he had gotten extra rooms so contact him ASAP. His contact info: Email: [email protected] Telephone: (562) 697-2075 cell (562) 665-0381
It would be great to see you and Greg there. He allows cars to 1932.
I am not going to make Tucson, we’ll be in New Zealand.
Dave
Hi George,
About that AACA meet in Sonora you mentioned. The Nickel Era Registry (HCCA group) is having a tour out of Murphys, a few miles away, the same week. Maybe all of us Pierce_Arrow owners can have a mini meet somewhere in the middle one day that week. Have a Merry Christmas. Dave
Ken,
His car is listed as a 7 pass sedan. I know that it has been in his family for many years. I don’t know about the handles. Perhaps someone more familiar with Series 80s will join in.
Dave
Ken, Here is a picture of the robe cord in Peter Williams Series 80, again, taken at the Buffalo meet (I was begging rides from anyone that would have us). I can’t give you any more information on originality etc., but I am sure Peter can. Peter, are you lurking out there?
Dave
Ed,
I will send you his contact information by e-mail.
Dave
Ed,
I’ll check with the person that gave me mine. It is good quality and spiral bound. I just want to check that he is still doing copies.
Dave
