    Here’s an update. The truck carrying my car to Kerrville would likely be coming from Knox, Indiana to Atlanta and then on to Texas. Anyone along that route would be a prospect.

    Hi Gregory and H.Paul, Thanks for the information. My car has two side mounts but had no tires or rims with it when I purchased it. I was able to get one rim on Ebay and it is 4.19 wide. The other four rims on the car are wire but with no bead, not sure what there are for but maybe they might be good of some one else.

    Again thanks for the information.

    I also have the same item as you pictured. I believe that I got it at a Hershey meet in the 80’soriginally with other items I bought from a stall that was cleaning out their Father’s attic. Supposedly the Father worked for P-A in Buffalo. Included in that buy was original P-A tool drawings they sent out to vendors for quotes. If only P-A memorabilia could talk…

    Thanks for the pix Tony. That should not be a tough order to fill. We do something very similar for our AACA Annual show down here in Georgia.

    A great week in Buffalo with friends old and new! Especially fun was the historic Forrest Lawn cemetery downtown. To our surprise, George N. Pierce “walked”” out of his mausoleum to have a chat with all the Pierce-Arrow owners. Who knew that Geo. N. was such a great storyteller! :)

    If the front seat is upholstered in comparable fabric to the rear, I’d guess from the photos that it is a 7-pass sedan. The sliding glass partition suggests to me that it was NOT a factory installation. Seeing how the partition itself behind the seat was constructed would probably help to determine if this was built originally this way or was modified from a straight 7-p sedan, as the serial number suggests.

    If I might join in. I built my PA + others Garage last summer. Pole/Post Vertical support and it ended up 40×72 with 12 foot ceiling and long peaked roof. No windows (for security) and large exhaust fans in the 2 eaves. Added a “Self-Call in” type Security system for all openings with motion detectors when I’m not in it-like on my home. It is basically 6 12 foot wide bays by 40 deep for 2 cars in each bay. I went with oversize garage doors, 9′ H by 10′ wide. PAs are still fun to drive in. One bay has the rafters/joists in a “Cathedral” approach to allow car lifting way beyond the 12 feet, more like 18 in the center. My local contractor also “shaved” the edge of each garage entrance during the pour about 15-20 degrees so that the slope of the concrete edge from the outside of the garage door to the edge of the concrete pad slopes down to allow water to drain away from the garage door. We get a lot of rain in Seattle. I went with the commercial “continuous” guttering system (a drain spout on each of the 4 corners) since my roof is rather large. My next item is getting the lift put in…still deciding on the brand/type but leaning towards BendPak. Garage seemed big during construction, but much smaller as it is filling up! Good Luck Doug

    Glad to hear damage is manageable. Hope your drive goes well.

    How satisfying it is to see such a perfect outcome to a challenging situation. Mutual support is clearly the name of the game at PAS. Roger Sherman

    Peter,

    Young Pierce will indeed be with me in Warwick. He will be the kid pointing at cars and yelling “Vroom! Vroooom!”””

    I am glad you found the video. It was the first video we did and doesn’t do the collection justice. I am looking forward to Rhode Island in a few weeks and this past weekend I had the chance to see four Pierce-Arrow cars and one P-A bicycle at the AACA Meet in Buffalo. Now I must get back to digitizing more of your society’s collection. I am currently scanning “A Few New York State Routings for Pierce-Arrow Tourists”” published in 1910 — wow do I have a great job!!!”

    This looks like a Seies 36 to me especially because of the hole in the running board aprons to lube the rear spring eye.
