Close up of the Geo. N. Pierce, Hanover St., Buffalo, NY name plate.
Two Geo. N. Pierce products, one from Hanover St., the other from Elmwood Ave., and about 45 years apart.
Hello David,
Laurel, IN is about 70 miles from us.
And while we’re not planning on a Hershey trip this year, we will be at August’s Gathering at Gilmore and could deliver to you there.
Let me know, Stu Blair (513) 576-0650 home #
We installed a battery shut-off switch in our ’36 sedan.
Rather than drill a hole for the switch through the front seat base, we added a 1″ thick by 1.5″ wide piece of wood on top of the front of the base and drilled the hole for the switch through that.
The additional 1″ height at the front causes the seat cushion to tilt back at a slightly increased angle which has, as a bonus, added noticeable legroom for me on the driver’s side (I’m 6’3″).
The ’36 also has the adjustable steering wheel for a double bonus.

Hello Brooks,
A few years back, Dave & Diana Stevens hosted the Peerless Club in a joint meet with PAS during a very enjoyable Gathering at Gilmore. The Peerless group was represented by a nice turnout of Cleveland-made cars plus 30 or more very friendly club members including PAS member Gordon Linkletter who brought his Peerless Coupe from Ontario.
One further note of interest for you. The Peerless Club has a “SONG” which their group sang to us (with gusto) one day at lunch! It’s a former Peerless factory song with clever lyrics about cars (and not Peerless’ post-1933 beer product line)…so be prepared to be entertained!
Best of luck for great weather during your 3-P’s meet,
Stu Blair
This same 1602 was in Hemmings back in 2011, from recollection was in SC at that time, partially restored / partially re-assembled, and they were asking ~$19k for it.
Rick, Our 2013 GMC Yukon XL 3/4 ton is rated to pull 9,600 lbs. which is about how much our 1601 plus trailer weighs.
2013 Was the final year for the 3/4 ton Suburban’s & Yukon XL’s with a 6.2L gas V8, for 2014 and newer, they’re only available as 1/2 tons with a much lower towing capacity.
Last July, we averaged about 8 MPG trailering to Buffalo, reduced from about 17-18 highway MPG without a trailer.
A Diesel may be preferable over gas if you plan to use it more frequently.
For anyone interested, this ’31 remains listed “for sale”” on the dealer’s web-site which Jack Karling noted above. Here’s the link:”
The for-sale listing in the above PreWarCar.com link has expired, however it’s now listed on this U.K. site:
(£69,000 = $100k at current exchange)
Tom & Joan,
Welcome to PAS!
Be sure to check out this web-site’s “Parts & Services” page for your car.
You can search by year, by part description or by supplier, the level of detail is very thorough.
As Ed Minnie stated above, PAS member John Cislak is a great source of reproduction & original parts. PAS member Dave Murray / Blonder-Murray also supplies reproduction parts including hub caps, archers and trim pieces.
Good luck with your new Pierce!
Stu Blair
Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy 2016!
The combination of “high % appreciation”” and “”rarity”” were the reasons the Model 66 was excluded.
It was nice to see a P-A get some air time on a popular TV show.”
Ed,
Thanks for posting. Tell us about the “other two”” camera shy barn find cars neither of which were known to PAS.
Many of us would like to hear all about them!

Update: There has been no additional “news” on this subject either in the Dayton Daily News or on the internet.
In the interim, I’ve spoken with several Dayton-area PAC Club members who have confirmed that this storage building which burned contained mostly 1950’s parts cars and NO cars from the museum.
Ed,
John Wozney checked, the car was last known to PAS in 1968 when it was then owned by Robert Howe, 64 Maple St., Franklin Mass.

Bob,
Dayton is 60 miles north of Cincinnati. It should be noted this fire was NOT at the America’s Packard Museum building on South Ludlow St. just south of downtown – but instead at a storage building several miles away. I believe a number of parts cars and perhaps duplicates of cars on display were stored there.
Also, the Packard Museum’s huge spare parts inventory is stored on the second floor of the South Ludlow St. building and in the annex building behind it, and again these buildings were NOT involved in the fire.
Coverage in the Dayton Daily News of this fire has been sparse other than vandalism or arson is suspected. As more information becomes available, we’ll post it to this item.
Lastly, as a Packard owner, this is a sad loss but should be a reminder of fire safety around our old cars plus the need to have several fully charged fire extinguishers in the garage.
Stu
