The sale car 2575029 appears different than the Blackhawk car.

The one for sale, chassis 2575029, I call the chrome wheel car and I thought it was at Blackhawk also. When I was in San Fran last year, I was told the Blackhawk had 2 and sold the one that ended up at the Art Museum. I was also told that they were revamping all the exhibitions at Blackhawk, taking the cars down to 50 and moving towards an Old West theme.

David,

From what I have been able to research, Serial number 2575018 was a Blackhawk Car and part of the Harrah collection. Here is a quote about 2575018 that I call the red wheeled car that sold in 2012 ($2.2Million). I think it was part of the exhibition at the High Museum, here in Atlanta. I saw it and it was stunning, but so were all the other cars. It was purchased for the San Francisco Academy of Art University Automobile Museum, which is something to put on your do list if in San Fran.

“Owner Don Williams of the Blackhawk Collection said he considers the Silver Arrow the “first design concept car.” According to Williams, who has pursued Silver Arrows since the late 1960s and has at one time or another owned all three of the remaining examples, no Silver Arrow has sold at auction since 1973, and no Silver Arrow has changed hands at all in the last decade or so, making this a rare opportunity for Pierce-Arrow aficionados.”

I heard Blackhawk still had one and the other was in a private collection in Florida.

I tracked one of the cars that I think was destroyed, to Baltimore. Last report (40’s) was it was owned by a John Grinage, a teacher who lived on Madison Avenue in North Baltimore. He cut out the trunk so he could haul firewood. Article attached. I call this one the Kirk Stieff car. It is a painful memory because Kirk Stieff was our first Sterling Silverware. I had to sell my Healey 3000 to pay for it.

I would love to learn more about what the members know about these cars

David,

My ’33, 836 has a plate like this one. I haven’t see an LA plate.

I reread you first post and answered the last question, sorry

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

Jim,

How are the hinge pivots attached to the rectangular frame?

Bill

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

Jim,

Thanks for the pics. First, can you put a magnet on the cast hinge to see if is or isn’t steel/iron? Also, on the frame, were there screws in those hole?

If all else fails. Don Sommer at American Arrow has reproductions.

Paul,

Thank you. Those are the same as a 1933 1243 and 1247 with chassis numbers before 310004-3525011-3550013. The 836 and 1236 are 723817 (r) and 723818 (l) for cars before 1070472-1550086-2075134-2575053. Later cars look to have replaceable components like bearings, sockets, springs and studs while the early cars show no serviceable parts, only assemblies.

Does that sound right to any one?

Jim,

Do you have any photos?

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

Adam,

You need to drop one of the http://’s (it put in 2) at the beginning. Hope it helps.

Here is the bulletin.

Looking at the roster, the 23XXXX series seems correct for a ’32.

Did Pierce cast blocks 2 years ahead of time? That is a long time to age.
