I got everybody’s emails! Sorry, I was working in the shop all afternoon.
IT IS OFFICIAL! WE ARE SOLD OUT OF PARKER PIERCE-ARROW PENS!
Thanks for your support of the Pierce-Arrow Society!
Liz
UPDATE! UPDATE!
TWO PENS LEFT after overnight orders! Hurry! They’ll go FAST!
Very very cool.
After some years of poring over Pierce-Arrow miscellania I have yet to trace the legendary New York law. The Company noted in the late ‘Teens that the bracket lamps seemed to be preferred for closed formal jobs, but that either mounting was optional to the owner. (They had their own lamps for the brackets, as you know.) No mention is ever made of New York law in factory material I have seen. But the rumor is quite embedded in the mystique.
I have serious doubts that it is true.
Also, I seriously doubt the Stanley twins ever gave anything away to anyone.
So sorry Phyllis was a special lady

Chester, The wiring diagrams where mailed on Wednesday. You should get them today or tomorrow. Bill
We’ve got a good group shaping up! Don’t forget to send me your head count for the PAS dinner at Hershey, Thursday, October 5th! It’s just around the corner!
We can take up a collection Go Box of steak scraps for Loki for a midnight snack! LOL!
See you all in H-E-R-S-H-E-Y!
Liz and Rick Horne will take Friday, 11 to 1
And David’s car is even more special because it is 100% ORIGINAL as in never painted, never upholstered and never altered. What a fabulous example of a Series 81 survivor. It’s found a great home with you Dave! Don’t let anyone ever talk you into restoring that beauty (The Car)!
Always a pleasure to see a superb Pierce in the hands of an appreciative driver. Congrats! Roger
The 1918 Show Instructions for Pierce-Arrow salesmen are reprinted in Arrow 79-4.This includes a list of show cars both at New York and Chicago
The best we can do is unearth old photos. The factory site itself is empty, although the cobblestone streets of the neighborhood have been restored. This is now an area devoted to recreation, a far cry from what it was a century ago.
My congrats, Dave!
It is wonderful to see such a marvelous artifact in truly appreciative hands.
I learned a lot from your carburetor lecture also.

Yay Randy! We’ve got more stuff than we can do! It’s such a great area of the country for our old cars. Every local person I’ve talked to agrees that the areas we are going are fabulous for tour driving! Low traffic roads in excellent condition! Can’t beat that!
Just received my order of 5 calendars. They are first class in every respect. Kudos to all worked on the production. They made terrific gifts to family and friends.
The photos of this 80 look very much like the 2-door Coach I owned for about a dozen years until the early 1980s. I bought it from the daughter of the original owner,and it was originally sold in Denver by the Kumpf Motor Car Co in the fall of 1925.
This is a small point, but the 1927 Series 80 salesman’s manual emphasizes that the panel between the dashboard and the windshield was now finished in “rich mahogany”. The 1926 Series 80 2-door Coach I owned was nearly unaltered inside, and had an upholstery-covered recess between dash and windshield. The car number was 808586.
David, My 1934 840A 5 Passenger sedan, Godfrey, is a very “unrestored original”” inside and outside. Give me a call and we can discuss any digital photos I could send to you. Even has some original factory pin striping traces on the body. The car was originally sold in Beverly Hills in 1934 and I have the original P-A Sales contract with the first owner trading in her 1925 Packard. Walter and Kelly McDaniel”
