Now, the obvious question, who bought the car? Hope they’re a member of the PAS, and if they’re reading this, it really is quite a car! Congrats! We’re just expressing our dismay at the monochrome color scheme!

My father had a friend that used to say, regardless of what doting parents said or thought, most all babies were ugly, red and wrinkled skin and scowling. So, he would walk up and say “Now, THAT’S a BABY!”

Now, THAT’S a PIERCE!

I don’t think anyone doubted he was a member of the Society. The comments were directed toward the request to have him join the Facebook Pierce Arrow group.

I just checked it too, seller should be very happy. I didn’t think it’d go that high…but I gave up guessing long ago!

I’m a proponent of using the original pieces when possible.

We just rebuilt a vacuum tank on a 1927 Dodge Brothers cabriolet. With carb and vacuum tank dry, just a few turns of the engine will get gas to tank and start car.

Vacuum tanks are good systems, they just have to be clean and tight.

Remember that a car with a vacuum tank had maybe a two foot drop to the carb, so you only have about 1 pound pressure at the carb (0.43 pounds per foot of drop).

The heck with celebrity, we’d be honored to have such a dyed-in-the-wool car guy! The real deal….

Curious about the difference, I found the following quote by an English teacher about the question of club versus society:

“I don’t think there’s anything fixed, and there’s nothing to stop you using film club/society in either context, but I think club is more likely for younger people and society sounds more ‘grown-up’. “

Whew, I feel more grown-up already!

Robert and I, and one of our hosts, drove the tour route today.

There will be some interesting stops with great cars to see, pretty back roads, and a great lunch venue.

Come join us! There’s a lot of area for trailer parking at the hotel, so that’s no worry…..

Ok, I can’t seem to save a copy of the file that works, so here’s the long way around the barn

The Nash is an actual car, somewhat of a mystery as apparently there were two Nash cars that had this headlight treatment. There was an article written about it in the Nash Times, I’m trying to find a copy.

The next thing that we have to worry about is eco-friendly wiring coating.

Seems that Toyota, for one, started using wiring that’s covered with a soy-based material, instead of petroleum based. Mice and rats love the stuff.

I believe most old car repro wiring now available is cloth covered over a plastic/petroleum based coating. Hopefully they won’t change.

I think the auction is not this coming, but the next weekend, 18/19th of May…

Only 1 length left, if anyone is thinking about it….

It can be made again, but it would take at least 6 confirmed orders to make another run.

Thanks to all who supported this project.

Go to the Pierce Facebook page and you can see it! Looks like a very nice car….

Wow, Paul, that’s a great ad to find!

I love that they were “forced” to use only twelve cylinder engines, and I know I would have been one of the ones whose “spine tingles as the newest transcontinental skyliner takes to the air”!!!!!

Well done, and then some….

Craig, that sounds correct. The two small pieces are, I believe, available from Steele rubber, although the ones available may be the later style. I’ve never known of a large repro mat being available for the Pierce, though.
