This drawing is from the 1930 spare parts catalog (model A, B and C). As I interprete the catalog the dual mirrors were only used in the open cars.

On this (bad) Photo of my car taken in 1948 you can see the dual interior view mirrors inside the window frame. They were missing in my start up project. At Hershey I took some photos and made nescessary sketches and measurements of similar cars. Back home I constructed the brackets for the dual mirros. I must admit that I bought 2 ea. mirrors at a Ford model A shop at Hershey. They fit perfectly.

I have tuned them in with a very large angle (not in a stright line) which make the rear view much broader and better control (like a wide screen…).

Wow – then I let the gap be at .027. Thank you Jim.

Spark plug adjustment – I have renewed the spark plug cabeles and cleaned up the the spark plugs. In my instruction book for 1930 models they recommend the gap of .027. I have heard due to the gasoline of to day the gap has to be a little bit wider. Can anybody confirm that?

I took this photo of the rubber floor mat at Hershey in 1991. It belonged to a 1930 model Touring.

At last I found the owner of the first bad photo and have receieved a new scanning. Now it may be easier to determin the model and de year?

Sorry to say but this Pierce does not exist any more. I just try to find out if the car on the enclosed photo is the same.
