Here is some semi-related trivia.
Check out Arthur Augustus Zimmerman as an early bicycle racer.
I attach photo of a belt buckle (PAS reproduction – long ago) awarded to him by the G. N. Pierce Dealers.
However, I do not believe he ever competed on a Pierce bike.
If you want the Ford wiper motors and parts, you can get them from Labaron Bonney or Mac’s Antique Auto Parts. Wiperman.com is GREAT for all sorts of vintage wiper parts and the Rain-X works like a charm.
Good luck!

Thanks Mate!
Rick,
There is a P-A radiator on eBay and the guy previously had it listed as a Series 80 – 81 radiator.
I set him straight last evening.
I do not know if it would work for your car, but from your “tiny and limited view”” photo there seem to be similarities.
The link is below.
I also agree with the chaps above.

Hi David,
Aside from the info listed on the eBay page, the car apparently was / is owned by a David A. Simon, of Gardena, CA, and I do not believe that he is the seller.
Info from Bernie Weis tracks it back to 1989, but the details are quite sketchy.
I believe that the car has been sitting for quite a while.
I hope that this helps.
Peter
We are happy to tell you how to spend LOTS of money!
Congratulations again, Bob!
You are an outstanding contributor and an organizational whiz.
It was a pleasure working with you on the Warwick Meet and an education watching your masterful organization.
Your book is a great reference piece, though Hemingway fans have little to fear. 
You are a Good Man, and I offer that to you as the best complement that a guy can give another guy.
Peter
David,
Please detail the equation in entirety, for those of us who need details.
Also, after you detail the equation, please indicate the utility of same, as in; “the size of the footprint of the tire and the weight of the car should dictate the psi per tire,” or whatever.
Thanks,
Peter
Rick,
Now you can get the plates refinished to perfection.
See my other post for the info / address of the license plate refinish master.

Ed,
The Meds are in the mail!

Jim,
As another note, you might wish to review the pics of the winners of the past PAS Meets for color combos.
There is a HUGE range in colors on cars in the PAS in your 1930 range.
Some are quite subtle and others are, well, err, not subtle.
It is most important that you like the color you choose and have fun with it.
Whatever you choose will be wonderful and I look forward to seeing the finished product.
Peter
Jim,
By the way, as a Pierce-Arrow buyer, you could have any exterior color you wished, you just had to order it rather than to buy the Pierce-Arrow off of the sales floor done in standard colors.
The PAMCC would totally accommodate buyer’s preferences in exterior paint color and interior finishes.
Just ask Bill Rolapp, who did his his 1930, Model C in a “standard” color and personalized interior finishes from the PAMCC option book, like the totally grey leather interior on an enclosed car.
Maroon is maroon, but I am sure you can find something that is a bit more striking, just as long as you are willing and interested in owning a striking motorcar.
That stated, I would stay away from Canary Yellow. 
Peter
Merry Christmas!
And may I add, that the breakdowns are few and easy to repair!
Tom,
The Series 80 is a snap to wire, so you can either buy a complete harness or just the wiring.
I used Rhode Island Wiring (Riwire.com) and than you can have wire left over for other later projects.
As for the ignition switch assembly, what all do you need for that switch? Please detail and I will see what I an do.
If you send pics to my email address that would be good.
Peter
My God, Paul!
Who is that hippie cowboy with the beard?
Is he really a Pierce-Arrow owner?
Sweet Motorcar.
Rick,
The 1924 Massachusetts plates were Maroon and White, each year the color changed.
My Pierce-Arrow is actually a 1925, but has always been registered as a 1924, ergo the 1924 plates.
Here is another pic, but the color is off because of lack of light.
The 1925 plates, which I have and plan to reregister the car with are Black and White.
Paint the car the color you want because everything goes with Black & White.
Besides, you should paint YOUR car any color you like.
Peter
Here is a pic of Chauncey’s rear end, with refinished plates.
Your plates are great, but if you want them to be as beautiful as the car, you could contact the guy I list below.
Ron Hargrave
1780 – 210th St
Webster City, Iowa 50595
515-832-5344
He did a great job with mine and quite reasonably.
I had to take them to the Registry in Massachusetts in original condition or they would not register them as Year of Manufacture (YOM) plates.
After the plates were accepted, i sent them off to Ron for refinishing.
He did a superb job with quite accurate colors.
Craig, you may want to find plates as I did and after they are registered, then have them refinished.
Any reputable seller of license plates will know in advance if they qualify a YOM plates in California.
Upon further inspection, I KNOW that I sold that case to someone at one of the PAS Meets in the past few years.
If you pull out the match case holder I am confident that you will find the match box i put inside it.
Nice case, wrong application. The buyer got a deal! HA!
