Thomas, I too offer you good luck on the eBay bidding and welcome you to the Pierce-Arrow Society.

We are a group of very friendly , if somewhat eccentric folks who cherish America’s Finest Made Motorcar.

Perhaps, we will see you in Buffalo at the Meet this Summer.

Best wishes on snagging the `31, 43.

It is also funny how this started as a discussion of gas additives and went to starter motors and then to my paying Greg’s travel to fix Philomela’s car.

HA, HA, HA, HA!

You just have to love the P-A guys & gals.

I will refrain from commenting in the future, yeah, right!

Oh yes, I use Seafoam and have for years for Winter Storage of marine engines.

Greg will be on his way as soon as the snow clears out of Michigan!

He is our resident mechanical brain surgeon.

Hello Joseph,

The Duplex oil cans occasionally show up on eBay for about $500.00 + and there are reproduction floating around, but those that have them will not part with either the originals or the re-pops, so post a standing search on eBay.

As for the tools, it will really be best if you enumerate the tools for which you search.

Some of us have a ton of spares, but we do not know what you want or need.

By the way, that is quite a slick ride, very Ritzy; but then again it is a Pierce-Arrow.

Good hunting,

Peter

Hi Jim,

Please submit this to Arnold for the P-A-S Service Bulletin.

Thanks,

Peter

Good Job!

The best thing to do for P-A posterity is to write this up with the pics and send it off to Arnold Romberg for the Pierce-Arrow Service Bulletin.

It is certainly worthy of publication and then it will always be available for review.

BTW, the Supervising Foreman of the rear-end assembly factory at the PAMCC was a guy named Joseph Waldorf, my Uncle’s Uncle, and the first family owner of my 1925 Series 80.

They did an outstanding job of creating Pierce-Arrow cars.

I am quite sure that the folks down in OZ get the meaning eh Jak?

The term fits quite nicely considering Jak’s prior hilarious postings and antics.

Best regards,

Peter

Jak,

You are a HOOT!

That is one heck of an Aussie contraption.

You are talking about the +/- 3-inch disks with four holes in them, yes?

I think that John Cislak (PAS Member) has them for sale.

Where is the shop?

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

The radiator may be correct for a Pierce-Arrow truck, but not for the Pierce-Arrow car to which it is attached!

It seems a tad tall, eh?

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

it is missing it rear door wing handles and It is listed as a SIX cylinder car and not an EIGHT.

I already sent him a message on the SIX vs. EIGHT matter.

Other than the woman acting as a distraction, did I miss something else?

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

I am referred to by some P-A Series 80 guys as “the Bling King” for the amount of brightwork on the exterior of my Series 80, but yeah, yeah, yeah! That is how I got it.

Depending on the amount of exterior brightwork, you should up your estimate by 50% to 100%.

If you do it piece by piece and the hit seems smaller, but it seems that you wish to eat the whole elephant at once.

There is a lot of prep work on each of the pieces, acid stripping, polishing, plating with copper, polishing, plating with nickel, polishing, plating with chrome, polishing.

Your guy may be good, but he still has a lot of detail work to do.

The advantage of having a nickel car is that polished stainless steel has the same patina. Not so for chrome.

The best tack is to walk in to your plating guy with the pieces, give them to him, walk out, come back when he tells you that they are done (at least 3-months) and with a BIG smile on your face, pay the BIG bill.

Just appreciate that you are not paying for a middle man.

That is one fancy runabout!

Yes, a mini Pierce-Arrow to start your wee-tyke into the collector car hobby, and a value at between $3,000 and $10,000 in the current market.

Top speed, 3.5 mph. Fred Flintstone two-foot brakes, no 5-mph bumpers, however the engine can still overheat in hot weather.

I would buy one at up to $2,000, if anyone has a good project quality car for sale.

Hi Chris,

Nice job.

For those interested, a good read is: The Unreasonable American: Francis W. Davis, Inventor of Power Steering.

Best,

Peter

Skinned Knuckles did an article on masking your own wiring harness in the August 2013 issue.

It is worthy of review.

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

Chris,

Thanks for the work you do for The Society; oh, and for the AACA!

We all look forward to meeting you at the Meet in Warwick.

I trust that you are also bringing your Pierce, that is, your Son Pierce.

Peter
