It is ironic that I just posted a video this morning of Dave Stephens and his 1928 P-A at the auto show on the Facebook page and what does he talk about?…you guessed it.. fender headlamps and NYC….SMH…lol…Oh well, it seems it is one of those myths that just won’t die…
Peter,
I will trade you the bridge for some ocean front property I own in Arizona…
I once stopped at the side of a road because a 1937 ford sedan had a for sale sign in it sitting in front of a house that looked like it was ready to fall over. As I was looking the car over a gentlemen came over and started conversing with me about the car…I asked the usual amount of questions, does it run, how long have you had it, etc, etc…the conversation was going pretty good until he mentioned that “Clyde Barrow rode in this car!”….well that pretty much sealed the deal for me…considering Clyde barrow was killed in an ambush in 1934…Like David pointed out, the story had been told so much it was just accepted as truth.
I just went out and measured the distance between my fender headlamps…from inner lens to inner lens it is approximately 41 inches…give or take a few 1/8’s of an inch…so you’re saying that a horse and carriage would somehow mistake this width for what?… two motorcycles going down the rode and try to fit between them?…that makes no sense at all…but then, we talking about a law that, not only can we find no proof of, but that makes no sense at all…
We have had a good deal of discussion of this very same subject on the Facebook page. I spent some time trying to research laws of both New York City and laws of New York State online, and came up with bupkis. I did find a law concerning motor vehicles that have to be equipped with “approved lights” before they can be registered, but no mention of certain lights being illegal.
It’s looking more and more like we have to pick the lesser of two weevils here.
Anthony Costa,
This…
Why does the song ‘One piece at a time” keep going thru my head?…lol…”
Thank you everyone for your positive comments, and your contributions to the page…a group page is only as good as the people that support it.
David, there is a link to the PAS website in the pinned rules section on the top of the Facebook page…members of the page can click on the link for direct access to the PAS website here. I will also post a direct link on this site itself.
Once again, thank you for the positive comments and contributions, this is OUR page, let’s make it one of the best in the Antique Car World.
Orest has indicated on the Facebook page that, so far, no one seems to be interested in these transmissions…if someone does not want these soon, they will be scrapped.

Dave,
I copied this information on to the PAS Facebook page as well.

Renwal Models came out with this model kit in the 60’s as a futuristic concept car. It is my understanding these kits are getting rarer to find and can fetch a few dollars.
For those members here who are also on Facebook, these photos would look even better on the Pierce-Arrow Society Facebook page…..just sayin’…
I do not mean to be rude when I say this, but, while the banner looks great, is it possible to make a few where the logo is rotated, so that it can fly like a flag?…I would fly one at my house….. or mount one on the exterior of the Pierce-Arrow museum outside…just a thought…
Richard,
If the newsletter is posted in PDF format, it will not let us transfer it to the Facebook page. I tried that with the last Great Lakes Regional Newsletter, and it just does not work.
Someone, with more computer skills than I have, will have to look into that problem.
Please post photos of your tour on the PAS Facebook page as well.
Thank you John, and as always, if any of you have any questions, or suggestions for the Facebook page, please let me know.
