Tony, I need a crash test dummy for the 36 V12, can you make any suggestions? 😃. Greg, still working on the wheels. I will use current hubs that are of 19 inch factory wheel. I recently have had two sets made, and need to do two more for friends, then I will do mine. I am willing to take the point adjustment on them if need be. I may also restore a set of wood artillery wheels also, for PAS judging to beat the point deduction. The better safety of drop center rims, easier to change tires, and no dealing with snap rings are just too appealing for a car I intend to drive on a regular basis when I retire.
John Cislak makes a rivet and pin kit. Give him a call.
Sorry I missed it. Just so much going on this summer. See you next year!
By the way, the wheels are stainless not chrome. Mandy by Budd and used in 31 and 32. They are quite nice and very rare. I wish I had a set for my 42 D/C.
I know the car, and have helped service it. It did not have an overdrive in it when I was helping out with it. As always ANY open Pierce should be INSPECTED by an EXPERT before purchase. Ed.
I agree with David I don’t think step place flatter any car built from 1929 in later .
He was out of town at the Pierce meet. Call him between 730 and 930 pm as well as east coast business hours. Ed
My 35 temp gauge is clear now……no trace of red but it is easy to read. I don’t want to mess with it. You can get the fluid from the Ford guys, as I did. It has not faded in three years, and looks like new. Lately my gauge for the gas seems to read low all the time. I just put gas in every time I drive home, and thus I don’t run out of gas. I spent at least 10 hours fixing it and still no luck.
I tried my very best to get the unit working . It read correctly a short time. The gauge reading comes and goes as it feels like it . There doesn’t seem to be any consistency in how it reads. Others have told me they work on them routinely and have no problems . Next year I’m going to attempt to try to fix both my 32 and my 35 so they read correctly . I would be interested in anybody else who has pointers or experience with these units . Ed.
Very nice comments Tony, and I agree the committee did a great job!
I was born in Springfield Massachusetts home of the Springfield rolls Royce . My garage is filled with Pierce Arrows, although I do admire the product from Springfield . Welcome to the club I hope you enjoy not only the publications but managed to get to a few meets .
A twelve NEVER has a first gear hill…………
Rag joint is correct. The engineering term is Hardy Disk.
32 were Kelsey-Hayes drop center, 18 inch.
I know the car. I made several offers on it. It needs a total restoration. Never mind the A/C, look at the wiring!
Looks good!
Did you try the Neathercutt collection? They have a bunch of early carb inventory, and while they don’t often sell, sometimes they will.
While your conclusion is possible, I think there may be a more likely answer. Before I comment on what I think is a more likely sanireo it would be helpful to have more photos and information. If you could send me some more photos to my direct email I would be very greatful. I would also like the engine, chassis, and body numbers as well as several shots of the dash board. Also, and idea of the general area the car was delivered new? Thanks, Ed. [email protected]
Drive it like you stole it!
Here is a shot of the all original 29………..it may be the most original 29 that has survived. Only the wheels were painted back in the 70’s. It ran today for the first time in 25 years. There was a large local get together tonight, we arrived a half hour late. Car ran perfect with no shake down. We didn’t even have time to put the hood or side mounts on it. Be sure to look it over at the meet in Buffalo next week.
