Her is the car from 1929!

This photo I took at Hershey i 1989. I spoke to the owner who told me that these brackets were original on his 1929 model. The car is on the NeXT photo.

Here you see them ready on my car. I may have some extra.

When I restored my 1930 Model B Phaeton it was impossible to find these brackets for the luggage rack. I then made Wood models for casting. The drawings of the brackets in the part book was originally scaled down from the Construction drawings.The only thing I had to do was to enlarge the part book drawings into the right size. I then had correct drawings for my models which i carved out in Wood. In the photo you can see the Wood models an the casted parts in bronze.

Looking on the photo of the manifold – isn’t that the 1929 style?

I know very little of the cars history. What I have found out is that the car was registrated in Norway in 1916 (nummer plate F-317) as a Taxi. It could have been an imported used US-car.

Here is a photo of a friends 1916 Packard (rally in Germany). Very similar to the body of the Pierce in question!

Also I was a bit surpriced of the body style. I suppose the car has been into an serious accident and received a new body and fenders. “You take what you find!”” Here is another photo of the car.”

Nice to see that car still is in the original shape. I scanned the photo in the Arrow from 2014.

Bill,

The last Message I received on Dec. 20 was; “Message received! I told Rodney about the fenders…””

The day after I emailed two photos. Did you ever received them? (I then got the Message: “”Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender…!””

Oivind.”

This Castle has a very nice painting of a Castle, which you still will find in Nürnberg in Germany (restored after the war).

Sorry…! I promise that I will not scrap them. As I mention that I was thinking of the costs having them shipped over to US again. As a matter of facts it will be a little more than in 1915-16… I also know it is hard to find fenders like that.

Enclosed is an advertising from the Norwegian agent in 1916. The name Kristiania was the old name of Oslo.

On the two first photos you also will see two other types of fenders. Could that be for a Buick mid-twenties?

Thank you George!

Here is an enlarged photo of the front fender. As to my red arrows that I have marked on the photo, indicate that there are no holes to fasten the fender to the chassis frame, nor to the running board. Could that mean that these fenders were standard for several models/series? Could it be that the shops themselves should drill the holes as to what models needed a new fender? I have also put on two blue arrows pointed on two round headed screws holding a pipe on the inside for the electric cables to the headlight.

So what to do with the fenders? Scrap them? I do not think anybody in Europe need them?
