BTW, 8,300-lbs is about the weight of a BIG Pierce-Arrow car loaded on to a 4,000-lb trailer.

My Series 80 (130-in-wheelbase) 7-passenger DeLuxe Sedan weights in just shy of 4K-lbs, so you guys with the Big Boy Pierce cars (140-in + WB) and SUV tow vehicles need to pay attention to the weight.

You need a Class IV or V hitch, and then check on the towing capacity of your vehicle.

A 2015 Cadillac Escalade is rated to tow 8,300-lbs GTW in its Top Configuration, which seems to be the same as a Yukon / Tahoe / Suburban.

My 2004 Ford F-250 SuperCab, long bed, Diesel is rated at 12,500-lb GTW and the 2015 Ford F-250 in a similar configuration is rated at 14,000-lb GTW.

You are getting a lot of info, eh, Rick!

Tony,

I think that this is quite correct that we should have plaques that reflect the quality of Pierce-Arrow.

Do what you like and don’t sweat it.

No matter how much you worry about it, the end product will be excellent.

Matching colors across different materials is hugely difficult, and that is why people use contrasting colors rather than matching colors.

Keep it simple and contrast.

Even purple and green are a wonderful combo, given the selected shades of each.

Have fun with it and stop worrying.

George,

Bob Jacobsen is in charge of the 2106 Palo Alto, California, Winter Meet / Board Meeting.

It runs from 25 through 28 February and should include tours to a number of car collections, etc.

I am sure that Bob is working away on the details and will provide them soon.

Rick,

If the porcelain coating is very expensive, you may wish to consider a process called Jet-Hot Coating (Jet-Hot.com).

I did my exhaust header a few years back and it remains fine.

The cost was reasonable and you can read about the process and outcomes online.

Also, the color offerings are wide, so black will not be a problem.

Just FYI.

Paul,

Thanks for your continued excellent effort in the creation, evolution and maintenance of our top-shelf website.

Best regards,

Hey Liz,

Thanks for putting together the dinner.

It was a great gathering.

Peter

Good morning Gents,

I agree with the matter about criticizing P-A cars, etc. on the Message Board.

I also feel that if there is such a transgression in the future, one of our thoughtful PAS members might approach the “offending” individual with a personal email rather than doing to them on the Message Board what they were accused of having done to others.

Personal, 1:1 communication to correct an error or faux pas works better than public condemnation.

I look forward to your comments on my comment.

Cheers,

Peter

A few year back I was threatened with “death by a thousand cuts” if I ever considered putting step plates on my Series 80, 7-Passenger, DeLuxe Sedan.

The Gentleman who made the threat was George Teebay! HA!

I believe that George felt that the cut-off was for teens cars.

But, what do I know!

Just passing on an open threat.

Jim,

Also regarding the sill plates ask Wayne because I believe that he had some produced.

Jim,

Apropos of the fuel gauge, I believe that Wayne Hancock is in the process of getting those babies produced, but you may need to be patient.

I would give him a telephone call and tell him of your interest because I believe the he never looks at the Message Board.

Good hunting and my best to you and to Ernie!

Craig & Jim,

Unless Resto has changed what they sell, the “script” that they have for a Pierce-Arrow is a tiny little piece that has the per-1920s Pierce logo.

The tiny little thing fits on the face of a moto-meter universal and is less than impressive.

I do not believe that it is what Jim wants, which I think is what is pictured here.

However, I reserve the right to be wrong on this matter.

Someone, perhaps me, needs to run a project that reproduces these.

Randy,

Welcome to the Society.

The Buffalo Meet was GREAT with weather that was near perfect.

Many thanks to the Buffalo Meet Committee.

There is never enough time to see and chat with everyone (John!), but we had one heck of a good time with very special friends.

Everything was perfect EXCEPT for those HILLS on the Thursday tour, PHEW!!!!

They were STEEP AND LONG 1ST GEAR PULLS!

The Buffalo Transportation Museum is awesome and gets better every year.

Thanks again, Kevin & Julie Curtin & Bob Sands & Paul Jacobs & Jim & Mary Ann Sandoro and the rest of the Committee who made it all possible.

Hey Mike and Pat,

Did you get the S/N?

Peter

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

Jennifer,

Ed is a whiz, so send him the pics and he will likely produce magic for you.

That stated, the PAMCC would do for you whatever you wished in making a car, so taking a 7-passenger sedan and turning it into a EDL would not have been a problem.

In those days, if the car was already made, they might have just shipped it back to Buffalo for the work, which is not really that far from Philadelphia.

I trust that we will all have the pleasure of meeting you in Buffalo in two weeks.

Keep up the investigation, because owning a “Family Car” is a charm.

Ask the man who owns one (HA on you Packard!).

I do, as do a few other PAS Gents and Ladies.
