Gents,

I must admit that I’m sorry I wasn’t at that Owls Head Craps Table with $40-Large in my pocket.

David,

The Auction person from Owls Head indicated: “Eh, car was not perfect, ran well, and prewar closed car. So it was a good buy for sure .”

That is all I know, however, it is a Model 54 Coupé. and there are only about five currently listed on the PAS Roster.

Also, I was not correct about the price.

It was $33,550.00 all fees included.

Jim,

That car has had 7-owners since 1974 and was most recently purchased at Hershey in 1997 by a Gent named Gary Lawing, of Tampa, Florida.

Before that the names associated with it are; McBel Trust, Florence Belden, Marshall B. Belden, Wally Rank and Leo Gephart who bought it in 1974 from AstroWorld.

This is probably useless info for you, but I had some time on my hands to do the research.

Tony,

It SOLD for $30,000!

That was a STEAL!

I understand that the high bidder was wearing a black mask and black leather gloves!

WOWIE!

A handsome Series 80, DeLuxe Sedan!

David,

I don’t know if it is useful, but years ago, I found some things under the BACK seat of my car.

Until then, I thought that under the FRONT seat was the only place for storage.

John,

George is always having fun with his Pierce-Arrow cars.

Even when George finds a pile of horse poop, he starts looking for the pony!

David,

Welcome to the Pierce-Arrow Society!

We are a helpful group, so no question it too dumb to ask.

We are all on a learning curve, regardless of our years of experience with Pierce-Arrow cars.

Jay,

Do you have the round bar / tube-type bumper holders / arms?

If not, I believe that Karl Krouch reproduced them recently.

Jay,

Here is a photo of the Hancock’s Series 80 Roadster (now sold). It was a Weis Award winner.

Note that it has an aftermarket Duplex front bumper.

Jay,

I somewhat recall that Wayne and Marc Hancock were making the bumper tubes, but I may be wrong.

They are PAS members and you can email them.

Also, a ton of Series 80 cars, mine included, have “aftermarket bumpers” that are made from “flat stock” so as to upgrade the look of the car to make it look more modern.

Mine were made by “The Royal Bumper Company” of Chicago, Illinois.

Peter

Jay,

I believe that it depended on how you ordered it from the factory.

Now, you get the choice of how you want them finished.

However, most of the ones that I have seen are black with nickel end caps.

You might wish to check Previous Meet photos (on the website) for photos of Series 80 cars.

Arvydas,

By the way, take a look on the Parts & Services section of this (PAS) website, scroll down to the section for Radiator & Cooling System and then look to see if anyone on the list is making what you need.

Peter

Arvydas,

You may wish to see what it would cost to fabricate one of those in Stainless Steel.

Unless someone in the PAS makes a reproduction, the likelihood is that most of the available Water Jacket Covers are rusty and / or, rusted through.

After all, they are +/- 90-years old.

The Water Jacket cover on my 1925, Series 80 was made well before 1990, and it is whistle-clean.

That stated, it is Stainless Steel.

Perhaps someone on the Message Board knows of someone who already reproduced them.

Good luck,

Peter

Randy,

In the past few years SOMEONE reproduced the splash-pan set for Series 80 cars.

I post this to get people thinking about who it was.

They are interesting to install! HA!

However, they are functional once done properly.

Hello Arvydas,

Also note the the exterior nickel was highly polished and that any interior nickel had a “Butler Finish”” meaning that it was slightly polished.
