David,

My offer aside, it is likely best to do as Paul indicated, mainly go to the “Back Issues” section of the website and see what is offered.

Then you can get what you want, if available, and support the Society in the process.

Ralph is also correct in sending you to David Stevens.

If all else fails in finding what you want, be in touch and I will rummage through my boxes.

Gents and Ladies,

Tonight at Midnight is when the Optima Deal Ends.

If you are waiting, don’t wait long!

Optima will likely do it again next year, but time will tell.

Happy Starting!

Also, remember to file your TAXES today, HA!

David,

Welcome to the PAS.

Contact me for back issues.

Someone gave me two boxes of them.

I may not have what you want, but I have MANY!.

TICK TOCK, TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

James,

I like your approach.

I think that you should leave the car the way it is!

Here is another photo, running the other way!

Hello Gents,

Here is a photo of that Running Archer before I sold it to Wayne!

Jim,

If the tire was in the way, you might have put the front end of the car on jack stands to remove the offending tire and then brought the engine in from the side.

Ladies and Gents,

The Optima Battery sale goes well, BUT REMEMBER, the CUT-OFF DATE is 15 APRIL at MIDNIGHT!

DO NOT DELAY!

THE CLOCK IS TICKING!

ORDER NOW!

Peter

Thanks for the date correction!!

Ken,

You can also get shorter seat upholstery spring sets, and / or at least modify the existing springs to reduce their height / extension.

I plan on thinning out both the upholstery padding and the spring extension on my Series 80 front seat backrest when I have the interior seating done this Fall.

I will keep everyone posted on the project as it moves along.

Hey Jim,

How about bringing the engine in on the hoist from the side of the frame with a shorter extension?

Ken,

There is talk that “some” Series 80 guys somehow reduced the thickness of the front seat backrest to give them another two or three inches to slide back in the front seat.

Well before I assumed ownership of my family car, I understood that there was no moving the entire seating assembly backwards.

However, in the past few years heard the scuttlebutt about thinning the backrest and I thought it interesting.

Greg’s comments support what I previously believed and feared, so I will see how that project comes.

Photos will be available as I get into doing it.

Brooks,

I understand that Wayne and Nancy Hancock’s, 1925, black and vermillion, Series 80 Runabout (seen under the tree in the back of the photo) won the “Best in Show”” award.

Congratulations to Wayne and Nancy!

Their Series 80 also sported the afore mentioned Mercury with an Arrow (Running Archer).

Calvin,

SMS Auto Fabrics or LaBarron Bonney have good selections of materials, as do many other autoFabric specialists.

Check them out online and then request samples.

SMS is custom weaving for me 10-yards of fabric to match the original fabric in my Series 80.

That has taken some time (over 1-year), but they promise it to be completed this June.

The headlights betray that the Pierce-Arrow is indeed a 1935.

A very nice video.

Calvin,

A very handsome motorcar!

Blaire,

NICE RIDE!

Good morning Blaine,

Welcome to the Pierce-Arrow Society.

Have fun with us and ask as many questions as you wish.

On this website you can acquire the Pierce-Arrow Wiring and Tune-Up Guide 1913 – 1938, that is published by the PAS ($15.00).

I believe that you go to the PRODUCTS section (to the LEFT) and you will find it there.

You might as well keep the money in the Society and have the wiring info for ALL P-A cars, rather than going outside and getting the info for only one year.

Peter

Paul,

I was waiting for you to come in with a definitive statement on the matter.

I was confident that you were out of town, otherwise we would have heard from you sooner.

The 73-3 SB, first indicates that the standard engine color for a Series 80 – 81 is dark grey, as in, Rustoleum #975 Navy Grey.

That Service Bulletin also points out colors for the other various engine parts, so it is worth checking, that is unless you own a BLING Series 80 like mine that has a ton of nickel plated engine parts.

Andrew, most importantly, have fun with your Pierce-Arrow and remember that the PAMCC would paint your car whatever color you desired, and that also likely applied to the engine compartment and its components.

Always and in every way remember: De gustibus non disputandum est.

Peter
