OUTSTANDING!

Hey Ken,

Give Gregory a high-five from all of us!

He obviously needs to stay away from rooftops. EESCH!

Also Ken, you need to take care of YOURSELF at this point in time.

If you don’t, there will be no one left to care for Gregory.

Best Wishes to Both of You Gents,

Peter

GONE!

Ken,

First, the Series-80 Radiator shown on eBay actually “appears” to be in relatively good condition.

I don’t see any gaping holes, bleeds or traces of old-bleeds through the honeycomb,

Further, It Is a Difficult Item to Find, especially in such good condition.

Apropos of Series 81 radiators, I believe they are the same as the radiators used in the Series-80, but the cars have differences, about which, I do not know

However, note that the PAMCC created Far-Fewer Series-81 cars, than they did Series-80 cars.

So, if you decide to search for a Series-81 radiator, you will be looking through a far smaller population of Pierce-Arrow vehicles.

Perhaps the eBay seller of that largely disintegrated Series-80 Coach would be disinclined to sell it off piecemeal.

However, if you don’t ask, you don’t know.

Ken,

There is one on eBay, (186552169429) as a part of a disassembled / rough Series 80 for sale for cheap.

Bob,

There are a number (19 – 20-ish) on eBay.

Cheers,

Peter

Bob,

I suspect that any good Locksmith could do that for you.

What are the Numbers on the cylinder?

Finding one (a key) on eBay might be easier than getting one created.

Bob was a COOL Buffalo Dude, although he might have taken minor offense at being called a Dude.

I was pleased and lucky to know him, and to come to understand that he was a REAL BUFFALO GENTLEMAN!

God Bless His Buffalo-Built, Pierce-Arrow Soul!

RIP, Bob!

John,

BTW, John Cislak is THE source for most Pierce Arrow parts that you may need.

Additionally, you can check the PAS Vehicle Roster to find members who own the Same Year and Model as your car.   Then, contact them about your needed Spare Parts.

Many of we PAS people are Parts Hoarders!

I know that I AM!

John,

Did you check out the other side to see how it is assembled?

Does it have the parts that you seem to be missing from the other side?

Rebuilding a Pierce Arrow is a daunting process and a supreme challenge at times.

I had to do that with my “quite complete and intact” 1925 Series 80, which has been in my Family since 1928.

No matter which mechanicals I started to explore, I usually found some piece, or part, that either needed adjustment or replacement.

My best advice is that you Hang Tough and Keep Working On It, and before you know it, you will have a Beautifully Functioning Pierce Arrow.

BTW, AFTER taking the time to watch that Outstanding Firestone and Pennzoil advertisement, I Get It.

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Why was it predictable that Ab Jenkins “poured Pennzoil and ran Firestones”?

Are those the PAMCC, original & factory-approved brands?

Or, were They Just, The BEST?

I just bought Jenkin’s (?) book, so I may soon discover those details.

Bill,

WOWIE, Thanks for the Link!

In the “Chase Scenes” those Guys were sure Sliding the various 1920s cars around on the DIRT ROADS, I assume around Hollywood.

I never even considered that someone could, or would do that with a 20’s automobile.

It is very Cool film clip.

Thanks for bringing it to attention.

Best regards,

Peter

PS: Keep those Pierce-Arrows Rolling, rather than sliding them sideways!

Gents,

I am Glad that everyone is Happy with The Optima 6-V Deal.

Jim @ Optima Batteries has been Very Good to The Pierce Arrow members.

I run 2-Optima 6-V batteries in my Series 80, and although it is an over-kill, they always Do The Job!

We can just hope that Jim & Optima allows this Deal in the coming years.

Thank You, Jim & Optima!
