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.

Here is a photo of a 29 that may be the most original car at the meet this year, a never before seen 29 sedan. It will run for the first time in about 25 years tomorrow.

Depends if you are running electric or manuel pump. 3 to 5 pounds, if everything is in very good shape.,it’s important to be sure the electric pump will not push past the float, or a fire could result. I run my pressure up until it pushes past the seat and back it down 40 percent.

I have a 35 with the same problem, red has faded to clear. I know there is “the temperature gauge guy” who repairs them, I just wasn’t willing to pull out the unit of the car yet. Let me know how you make out.

No Jim, that won’t work. You can filter the alcohol out with a filter. They sell a kit to do just that. You place 10 gallons of fuel in a small portable tank, turn on the pump, presto……..gas with no alcohol. You just end up with crappy modern gas and still have the low boiling point, but get back the lost BTU’s.

Sadly, many easy to get reproduction parts are no longer available. Truth is if everyone who owned a car bought the repro parts when they are manufactured, economies of scale would make the price very affordable. Hundreds of manifolds have been made over the last 40 years. The cars that still have factory manifolds WILL fail. Instead of making a run of 10, a run of 50 or 75 would make the cost come way down, and protect your investment in your car. A car with a bad manifold is a giant paper weight. Problem is most people won’t pony up to keep spare parts on the shelf. I have two brand new manifolds on the shelf, one from Dave, and another from a different source. ALL of my cars have new manifolds on them………eight and twelve. I figure the Spares I have will go on future car purchases . I also bought three high-speed ring in pinon sets when they were available . Turns out the manifolds and the gear-sets were very good investments. They are worth 3 to 4 times what I paid for them 10 to 15 years ago . I know many of the people here didn’t have their cars when the projects were active so there is no solution to their problem. . The moral of the story is support club members who two projects and by their parts that fit your car you get the money on the other side . Add the fact that cast iron foundry’s are almost impossible to find today in the U.S. and it may be a very long time before we see any new manifolds. The same things going to happen to cylinder heads and water jacket covers. Buy the stuff while you can. Ed

Yes, Budd cast stainless wheels. 1932 were drop center, 1931 had the snap rings. I would love a set for my 31.

I have personally inspect the 1936 series 1603 sedan. I have no personal interest in the car . I inspected it for a customer. If anybody in the club is interested feel free to contact me . Ed.

I have looked at several times and it is a very nice automobile . Pat Craig is still a member he’s listed in the directory give them a call . I think the venue the car is at is not a good one for that type of automobile in my guess is it will go below market value . I’m pretty sure you’d be hard-pressed to find a better series 36 .

Use a brass float. Cork is a wast of time.

A well known car to the membership. Look at it in person before you make a purchase, that applies to ANY Pierce.

There’s nothing like a twelve. Well…….maybe two of them!

Nice car, tires are too big.

Did you see the 34 Packard coupe that sold for 4.2 million two weeks ago at RM? World class cars are in short supply, and it will continue to cause prices to increase. Many of the best cars are now in museums, trusts, and other perminant collections making the few good cars coming to market go out of the reach of every day collectors. A modern art painting just sold for 180 million yesterday. Cars are a bargin!

Car only made that number after a long slow struggle. It was a GREAT car, but for a while it looked like it would not make 600.

Jerry, Cislak has a set of used 20 over pistons. If intrested give him a call. Aries will need an old piston or a drawing. The last Pierce eight set was about 1700 with pins and rings if memory serves me. Ed

The car is Hawaii is no more. Long story short, it fell off a roll back tow truck going up the side a steep hill. It cam to a stop in someone’s home. No injuries, the Pierce was a 1936 1601 and is now cut up and parts are all over the globe. Ed

Ask and ye shall receive. Series 133 201 built, eight still with us. Series 143 205 built, 9 remain. Please understand one of the series 133 is a very terrible basket case. Ed

Bob is right, Aries are the best way to go. Jerry was asking for only 2, so I thought a good used pair would work better for him.
