Peter,

This is shocking…

I requested the discount code Sunday and received the code on Monday.

I ordered the battery on Tuesday and Optima shipped the battery on Wednesday.

I’m getting a positive charge out of Optima’s efficient service!

In comparison, all other batteries are revolting.

Thank you Peter for coordinating this discount with Optima.

For those yet to purchase a battery, one item to note, at checkout – and after you’ve entered your Optima code, hit the button “apply discount”” and the total charge will be reduced by the PAS discount and the free shipping.”

Brian,

A few years ago, I sold a (low mileage, like-new, original) ’75 Oldsmobile 88 convertible through Shawn Miller / Significant Cars. Miller’s brokerage contract had a fixed percentage fee and he promptly marketed the car with a listing on his website, plus several listings in Hemmings and eBay. The car sold soon thereafter, it was a simple transaction and I would use his service again. (Disclaimer, I have zero interest in his business.)

In recent years, Miller has brokered the sales of a number of Pierce-Arrows including a ’33 Twelve EDL, ’35 Twelve conv coupe, ’36 Twelve coupe and a ’36 Eight sedan.

Hope this helps, Stu

Bill,

Here’s a year newer with 4 more cylinders that you’re looking for.

It may be worth “a look” nonetheless.

Good look with your “chase,”

Stu

Thanks Ken,

Here’s the book detail / link:

“My Dad Had That Car: A Nostalgic Look at the American Automobile, 1920–1990 From the 1970s, when he began publishing his encyclopedic car spotter’s guides, Tad Burness’s ongoing labor of love informed and excited generations of car fans in the years before the Internet made it easy to identify a particular car. His scrapbook-style guides collected thousands of factory and car brochure photos, covering each American make, model, and year (from the Auburn Beauty-Six of 1919 to the all-new Lincoln Town Car of 1990) with detail views of custom trim options, special editions, and interiors, all annotated with Burness’s hand-lettered and informative notes, often pointing out subtle changes for a new model year. In a fitting tribute to the late enthusiast, this massive catalogue is in essence four books in one, covering the model years 1920–39, 1940–65, 1966–80, and 1981–90, with new introductions by automotive journalist Matt Stone.”

David, this 1703 should pull it just fine! (not my car, just passing along this ad from Hemmings for anyone who may be interested.)

“This remarkable Imperial Salon, 7-passenger, enclosed-drive Opera Limousine model 1703 is one of the finest automobiles ever produced in its time. Powering the car is a 462/182hp V12 engine featuring two down-draft carburetors with functioning dual chokes. This amazing engine runs smoothly. Power is transferred to the rear wheels by a 3-speed manual transmission featuring an automatic overdrive that automatically engages between 40 and 45mph. Driver-assist features include a unique free-wheeling feature along with factory assisted drum brakes. The 17″ original matching artillery-style wheels with chrome beauty rings and matching chrome Pierce 12 hubcaps and new 17” whitewall tires complete the period look. The car is also equipped with dual side mounts. The magnificent interior features original black leather upholstery in the driver’s cab with original tan fabric in the passenger compartment. It features a functioning privacy partition window behind the driver. It also features two fold-up opera-type seats. The original dash is accented in chrome and black with fully functioning gauges. The interior is complimented by original mahogany wood trim. There are privacy shades in the passenger cab windows.

This vehicle comes with immense amount of literature, brochures and documentation; some of which is period specific. Potential for rental income for weddings, anniversaries, proms. Contact Joe at 336-260-6153

Price: $62,500 negotiable”

Richard,

Click “return to index” at the top, enter “Broadmoor” in key word search; there were 3 Broadmoor threads there a few minutes ago.

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

Hello Richard,

From this message board search – there is no result containing Biltmore. Separately, there are several threads pertaining to the “Broadmoor Pierce-Arrows” owned by the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, CO.

Hope this helps, Stu

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

The attached link (scroll down about 2/3rds), which has been shared on this message board previously, relates the fate of one Silver Arrow, sold left-over in March ’34, for $4,480 to Gideon Stieff of Baltimore; car is thought to have survived until 1946 when the rear was cut-off to haul firewood, it’s believed to have been subsequently scrapped. This may be of interest to those who haven’t read it. There is a lengthy thread on this Message Board from 2015 with provenance details of the three surviving Silver Arrows.

David, you know, in addition to this ’33 Silver Arrow, there are two others out there plus “rumor / urban legend”” of a third one hiding in a secret undisclosed location – so all hope is not lost.”

Here is the link with one “http.”

I’ve found when posting links, delete everything up to and preceding “www” and the link posts fine.

Chris, you may to check with John Cislak – he may have a set of ’36-’38 trunk supports. Stu

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

Here is the link.

Chris, I’ve just emailed a photo to you; it would appear your pivoting ratchet cogs have been reversed / have swapped sides somewhere along the line.

The flat side of the ratchet should face the rear of the car and the curved side should face the front. From your video, your ratchet cog’s curved or arced side is facing the rear.

The ratchet on our trunk lid works fine, if you swap sides with your ratchet this should work.
