On this photo you can see how the ring gear is stuck – no space to turn around. Nobody had told me how to do it – that I had to remove som metal on the inside of the case. In fact I gave up and assembled the old original gear set.

Here you can see the differences of the two pinion gears. The big one is the high speed gear.

There has been earlier much discussion about the the High Speed Rear End Gears. I some years back bought the gears from Phil Hill. In fact I visited him in Santa Monica together with Irvind Blonder in 1989. Even an amateur as me can assemble that after some advice. I did it last april in my own garage (photo).

Every bolts were restored on my car. Here is the gas instrument “under the knife””. A micro thin metal wire was broken. We in fact managed to soldier (?) them together by using another wire as a bridge. The instrument is working perfectly”

Hello Boys, Norway calling…

Here is a photo of the rear body with “some”” rust. We could use some of it. The rear fenders were very solid – no problem! The rear body was stocked outdoor for more than 20 years.”

To post a photo of our car was a nice idea! Here is my car in 1932. The photo was taken on an ice race on the lake at Lillehammer (Olympic Winther Games in 1994)in Norway. The small man in the middle was the owner at that time, Andreas Robsahm.

Hi Bob,

1941? This was quite new for me. Was there any more cars built after 1938?

I. H. Jensen Automobile Shop in Hojer

As to the discussion of the danish built body of the 1934 Pierce-Arrow I can tell you that it was founded by Mr. Jensen in 1877. The name Hojer is the name of the little town in which he was living. As many of the automobile body builder he also started up with building horse wagons. It was his son, Hans Jensen, that in 1918 (after the ww-1) begun to build bodies on automobile chassis. As the town was close to the boarder of Germany, he travelled a lot in that country and got his inspiration for the style of his cabriolets. He employed round 20 men. The capacity in the 30ties was about 20 bodies a year. 10-11 Pierce-Arrow bodies were built in Hojer. In the beginning of the fifties the company was shut down. Enclosed is a photo of an Adler automobile delivered to my country – Norway. You van see the N for Norway at the rear.
