Thank you everyone for your input. As an administrator for the Facebook page, I have to make sure that any ads posted on the page are legit companies (not scams) and are for the benefit of the Pierce-Arrow members. If you happen to see one posted on the page, and you know it’s history, or you have done business with them in the past, please make sure to comment on the post so I know to keep it there. Thank you.

Does anyone know if any arrangements have been (or can be) made to bring it to Hickory Corners for a while?…
Last post about the PAS Facebook page…I promise.
The Pierce-Arrow Society Facebook page has recruited several new members over the past few weeks, and we hope to recruit more in the near future.
I would like to see more members come aboard and start using it for shows, social gatherings, recent finds, restoration progress, etc, etc, or just taking the car out for a spin once in a while.
While I love the forum here, we need to get ourselves out of just using this site, and expand our horizons across social media if we want this group to continue and prosper in the near future. I am not saying that Facebook will do all of that, but it is a start in the right direction.
Please sign up now and let’s start using this page and, who knows, you might just have some fun doing it.
Pep talk over…
The Pierce-Arrow Society Facebook page now has a new look and a new lease on life. All members on Facebook are encouraged to come and check out the new site. Members are also encouraged to invite other members to the site. It the administrations hope that more members will use this page as a means of posting photos of events, and as a basis of discussions. Please stop by and ask for admission if you have not already done so. Let’s get the Pierce-Arrow Society on the Facebook map rolling again.
Stuart,
Would that be the same Silver Arrow that is in hiding with the Nazi gold train?…lol…
Greg,
Facebook is not that bad…besides, if you have an interest in something, there is a Facebook group for it.
Right now the PAS Facebook page is only posting photos of cars (at least, I’m the one posting most of them) but I want to expand that to get more of the members to post, everything from their own cars, to memorabilia they have collected over the years, or recollections and photos of past meets, etc, etc. Facebook can be very beneficial to you, but, be careful, you can get hooked very easily!…lol…
David,
I like the look, besides, how often do you see a Pierce with a stone guard on it?…
Craig, I too, was very hesitant about setting up an account, but I did so and am very pleased with the results, I now administer two group pages and they are quite successful. I only make “friends” with people I actually know, and have corresponded with on FB for some time. Once you get set up and start adding friends, I think you might be surprised at the results. If you need some pointers, just let me know and I can help you along.
Thank you for your input Peter. I was very hesitant myself to open a Facebook account, but I did so at the request of my family members. I think, once you get set up on a Facebook account, you will be surprised at it’s advantages to reaching out to other people. Sure, there are some downsides, but, overall it can be a very interesting & informative experience. I think we need to hear some input from those members that are already on Facebook to try to encourage others, like yourself, to get set up in the near future. Any takers out there?…
It was said the Maharaja of India had a Pierce-Arrow touring car built that succeeded the cost of the Shah’s car. I used to have a photograph of it, but it has been lost over time.
This is how the car looks today, dirty whitewalls and all. It is not known if the car is currently running.
Wow, such great responses, thank you, you guys really know your stuff!
It’s that Coppertone tan that gets me!…
Here you go Tom.
As I’ve always said “Packard’s may be pretty, but Pierce-Arrows are impressive!”
Jim Sandoro sent me an email today stating he is going to have a copper expert look at the memorial and see what it would take to get it cleaned. He stated it might take a month or so but he will keep me posted.
Okay, just spoke with Jim over at the Buffalo Transportation Museum and he said to send him an email at [email protected] and let him know you are interested in seeing the monument cleaned, the more people that write, the more attention he can get with the owners of the building to get this looked into. Thank you everyone for your interest in this matter, hopefully we ca get this thing rolling.
Thank you Stuart for the above links, however, ran into a dead end on the P-A Holdings LLC Co. phone number listed rings once then disconnects after a minute of silence. (fax number perhaps?)… anyway I was also contacted by Mike & Pat McCumber and they suggested contacting Forest Lawn in Buffalo to discuss if they have the tools necessary to restore the monument. If anyone else can find a way to contact the P-A Holdings Co. please let me know. Thank you.

I know you did not send it Ed, your name was the on the email I received, but your username did not add up so I deleted it. I also received one from what I thought was a relative but the username did not ad up there either.
I was lucky enough to have a past president of the PAS look over my first P-A at the Kruse auction many years ago. When I first looked over “Miss Helen” (currently owned by Greg Long)I had the pleasure of meeting and discussing this car with Marc Ralston, who proceeded to tell me all the ins and outs of that particular car. I will never forget what he told me that day, he said, “If I did not own so many Pierce-Arrows now I would buy this car!” Being a past president of the PAS, and with is knowledge of P-A cars, that pretty much sealed the deal for me. Had he not been with me at the time, things may have turned out quite differently.
