Handsome and it drives well!

Paul,

This is an outstanding story, if it were only true!

Even though I anticipated how the story would end, it sent chills up my spine with the last statements from the Dad

“It’s a Pierce-Arrow. It’s the best car made today.””

I had my local sheet metal shop create a set from another set that were loaned to me (my Series 80 had none).

If your splash pans are in acceptable shape (not falling apart totally), a local tin knocker / sheet metal shop should be able to reproduce them without the tin-worm holes.

The stock color options on the Pierce-Arrow Series 80 were legion!

Likely more so if you wanted the BIG Pierce-Arrow.

And as pointed out above, if you wished to order a Pierce-Arrow motorcar, you could select from myriad color and the interior material options.

That process was said to drive the PAMCC Salesmen looney.

I also understand that the current Rolls-Royce motorcar is available in any of 44,000 different “stock” colors, and of course any color that you wish that is not on the chart of the 44,000 stock colors.

EESCH, Pity the Rich!

They have such difficult decisions to make.

James,

The different models had different stock colors available.

Also, the Coach had different colors available than those offered in the DeLuxe models.

Note the following pics.

Tom,

I spoke with Wayne Hancock this morning about installing the gasket under the windshield of his Series 80 Runabout.

He said it was a a complicated matter and suggested that you could telephone him if you wish to discuss the installation.

Note that none of these colors are conservative, but rather directed at creating FUN automobile.

It is a Runabout that was directed at being purchased FOR one’s wife, girlfriend, or BOTH (different colors please, no confusion)!

Tom,

Not to cut off James, but the colors were Brilliant Black with striping of Grosbeak Vermilion (like the Hancock car), Cruiser Gray, Desert Sand, Ambato Green, Sport Blue Light and Marne Blue.

I don’t find S/N: 2503120 on the current Roster, or on Bernie’s list of older members / cars.

They sold to me years ago, so maybe they changed the other way more recently.

Hello Gents,

Of the two Silver-Arrow cars in the collection of the Academy of Art University Automobile Museum, one is an “original” Silver Arrow (1933 Silver Arrow, ex- Harrah, #: 2575018 / 360007), while the other is a “production” Silver Arrow (1935, Silver Arrow 12, Coupe’ ex – Harris Laskey, 405002).

This information comes from Paul Borgwardt, Curator of the Museum.

The 360007 car is shown as having the following owners: Richie Clyne, Imperial Palace, Tom Derro, Harrah’s & Paul Schnabel.

The 360001 car is shown as having the following owners: Don Williams, Dr. Don Vesley, Jim Brucker, “various”, F. Robert Greene, D. L. D’Oyley & M. C. Hudson.

The 360005 Car is last listed as having the following owners: Blackhawk Collection, Henry Austin Clark & D. Cameron Peck.

The 360002 car is listed as most recently owned by John Grimage.

There is no listing for the 360004 car and that may be the Dr. Edward C. Worden car for which there is neither a body code # nor an engine code #.

George Teebay tells me that the list from which I work was last updated in 2005, so it is out of date on current owners.

PHEW!

Bob,

I purchased a chain for my Series 80 from Ramsey Products and I had it in just a few days after i ordered it.

They said that they made them “originally.”

I DK if they make, or have the gears in stock.

It is worth a call.

Good luck.

Hello Gents,

I just sent an email to The Academy of Art University Automobile Museum that David Coco mention in a separate message Board listing.

I asked for serial numbers of the two (2) cars that they have in their collection (one deep red the other silver and black).

Perhaps, this will help.

David,

Your notes are correct.

The 2575029 car is the car that is currently being auctioned.

I appreciate Brooks’ frustration and it would be good if there were better historical notes.

I have nothing that mentions the Mexico /SOCONY car.

Cheers,

Peter

Also, cutting and pasting the link does not work if I go straight ti Youtube.
