    David, they only look funnel at me in CVS when I’m wearing my Victoria’s Scret outfits. The high heels are killing me!

    I use nail polish on the red. I have also used it to touch up bad spots on the black last minute at shows.

    I’m no expert on these cars, but to my eye the body looks modern. Is hard to replicate a body well,and it shouldn’t be too difficult to figure it out when inspecting it in person. At the auction price,I would use extreme caution,as well documented examples usually bring more money. Looks like a fun toy,just be sure to understand what you are buying.

    Leland and Faulkner made parts for bicycles- shaft drive gears up till 1900. I have never seen anything about them making parts for Pierce cars. They were known to specialize in gears, although they would make anything under contract.

    Tom, you wouldn’t happen to be related to the famous Barrett Brake Doktor? Google it if you have never seen one. Ed 🤔

    I was going to add maybe a “Trump Stamp” but wouldn’t dare post it……………

    Well, then again, why not. Please notice I did not speak in favor or against, just trying to have some fun. 😇

    Calvin, any color that is in good taste is fine. It’s your car, enjoy it the way you like. Period appropriate colors usually look best. Then again, I painted my 1936 Twelve a rather bright blue. I still like it twenty five years later. Some of the old timers didn’t approve. I still like it……and I wrote the check. I tried no less then seven shades before I had the look that I wanted. Paint a few old fenders or panels or better yet, spray some paint on the car before you do the body. Use google images, type in packard, Cadillac, Lincoln, ect…….you will find something. I would be sensitive to metallics as often they don’t look good on mid thirties cars. Good luck!

    Shock and Awe! At least you won’t have to search for it in the parking lot? Maybe it’s an anti theft device? 😉

    No worries Dave! The car does tend to grab ones attention compared from what we are use to looking at. I agree with the upholstery comments. I think shush unusual colors may keep regular PAS people from the car……..”but one never knows!”

    Just remember, it’s more than likely this car will eventually be sold, and attend a PAS meet. So, I shall be kind and hold all comments………but it IS killing me. 😀

    Stitching is a good day quaility repair. We have a local expert here who works wonders. Much better than welding. Experience is important. I wouldn’t trust an irreplaceable block or head to a novice. There was a guy at Hershey in the old days who cut a Ford V-8 in half, stitched it back together and had it running on the field. Old school still rules the day.

    Try 1936 Plymouth hubcaps, you can remove the ship logo quite easy. That’s what I did on mine.

    I agree with Greg, Bill’s car is far from a sow’s ear. I think they are both wonderful cars!

    Robert, it’s a great car, and it went to a great Pierce collector. I couldn’t be more happy for you. I look forward to seeing it at PAS meets in the future………along with you “next”” new Pierce! Ed”

    Seeing Dave in Winchester was fun, there were two Pierce Arrows at the Amelia show, a V-12 convertible Coupe from 32-33 and a teens car also. I was so busy I didn’t even get a chance to look them over. It was a great show. Ed
