Some years ago similar wheels were shown in a factory photograph of a Pierce-Arrow car (front fenders and wheels only) with striping, no less. Because they are similar to the truck wheels of the ’20s, I have always wondered if they were put on the car as a factory test.
This is indeed sad news. I offer my heartfelt sympathy and hope the family is safe. Roger Sherman

Thanking all who have responded. This is great info for many of us in the PAS, especially some of the safty bits for towing. We spend so much time on our PA’s then forget about the potential hazards of transpoting them to an event. Last ime we had Godfrey on the road, my Wife was driving and had to avoid a railroad tie that fell off a truck in front on i-5. It slalomed quite well!
Thanks Chris and Dave for the added info. Knew I could count on P-A Friends to help me get through this expensive decision. Regards, to ALL

Thank you for your quick responses and advice. We have a “99 Ford F250 Diesel bought from our mutual friend Paul Murray that is currently serving us well in our move to a new home on Camano Island WA. It used to have a 5th wheel hitch mounted in the Bed and has the trailer towing package installed by Ford. Now all we need is to get the “”sleeping”” Godfrey and Sterling (Origianal ’34 5 Pass Sedan and ex-Dave Coco Silver Arrow) back onto the lovely NW roads. Also started the resto on my “”26 80 Wilson coupe. Retirement is finally fun!!”
Thank you, Anthony, for the insight into the identity of the “mystery motor” and your kind words.
I did not make the entry as a plea for support, but I am most appreciative of the responses.

Pierce drilled their crankshafts way back in the earliest years when the oil was gravity fed from an elevated tank above the exhaust manifold to the main bearings etc.
The model introduction stories list the horn as “S.O.S. Spartan””.”
Paul, the new format is terrific. It’s attractive, logical and very easy to navigate. The best just keeps on getting better. Congratulations.
I would like to see pictures and a price. Thanks bill
