Hi Tony, Last year a Custom Silver Arrow sold for 2.2 mill and needed a restoration. A correct 66 hp touring in the HCCA era have sold for very low 7 figures in the last few years. I can’t wait till one of my 7 passenger 1930’s sedans catch up to the other SUPER Pierce’s. Ed

It was bid to 1.1 Mill at B-J a few weeks ago, and a no sale. I have seen it in person several times, it’s one of the most impressive cars of any era that I have ever seen. Ed

Drum is held on by a taper, very difficult to remove. Do not drill off the studs or you will end up cutting off the drum with a torch. We left a puller on a drum for 3 days at max torque on the thing, it just let go one afternoon and the thing flew across the shop. Your gonna have to keep using the puller with mor torque and get the lug nuts to hold. I isn’t easy. Ed

Very nice automobile, I wish I had more room in my garage. Looks great. Hope it finds a good home with a PAS member. Ed

Stu, Having had the pleasure of driving and tuning your car, as well as changing a flat tire, I must admit egg on my face that I did not see the green on the frame. But if memory serves me, it was about a hundred degrees and I was drinking beer on the roadside while we changed out the tire. Is the entire frame green? More photos please! Ed

Just my 2 cents. While I can’t tell you how many different Pierce cars I have looked at over the last 40 years, the only car I have ever seen in person with a painted factory chassis color that was not black was the 1930 Waterhouse car. When the restoration shop that was restoring the car said it was painted blue, I drove the 30 miles to their shop just to see for myself before they blasted it. I have a factory photo of a very special 1931 series 42 dual cowl factory promotional car that had a monochrome paint of metallic silver over the entire car including the chassis, with stainless Budd wheels. While anything is possible on a special order car your car was almost certainly black, and just restored the way it is at the request of the owner. If you can’t see the chassis on a late series car, why would one paint it anything but black? Can you post a few photos of the car and chassis? Ed

Here is a shot of a 1929 early style manifold and intake. I will post a few more below. I would run the new Stone manifold if you can find the right intake, as it is a much less expensive option than the 30 manifold, or the 31-32 manifold also. It may require a new front exhaust pipe to the muffler, but that should not be too difficult or expensive. Be sure to check that your Stromberg UU-2 is not having any problems with pot metal failure either, as it could cause a severe fire. ED
