    Link & verbiage from Craigslist:

    “1 time offer… Shown by strict screened appointment only!! If you do not have funds for a car like this please do not reply. ..1929 pierce roadster. 8 cyl. 4 pass. ..Was beautifully restored in the 80s and pretty much in secured storage ever since. The car is dusty (*No damage!*) paint is nice under the dust. and hasn’t been started in over a decade. I’d bet someone who knows these cars would have it going in a day or so. This car has been in my family for many years. I realize we won’t be able to show it or keep it as well as it should be kept so is being offered for sale for a short time. These are beyond rare and hard to find for sale. Again as stated please do not reply unless you have the $fund$ ready to spend , the asking price is 100,000 , which is somewhat negotiable, keep in mind i won’t just give this car away ever! .. I don’t need help selling ! No bs scams . Not my first day on the list ! Thanx… Text is best or leave a email or a message… 503 320 84 8 three e ……. “

    Congratulations Roger!

    Old Cars Weekly, May 17, 2016, “Golden Quill Award” article at link:

    Excerpt: “Clubs do some of their best communicating thorough a publication, whether in print or, as some clubs choose, online. The club’s ‘face’ for many of its members is the publication. It is a friend coming to the mailbox of members, a cordial handout to prospects, and a ‘fun read’ that keeps members going in the same direction. For some clubs, the publication is the cement that binds the members in a common goal. Car club magazines often are the first things read in daily mail.”

    Roger, when The Arrow arrives here, it is immediately read cover-to-cover, often starting right at the mailbox! Please keep up your great work!

    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 #

    in reply to: Front Seat Pictures from a 4 Door #412923

    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.

    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!

    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.”

    in reply to: Barn Find #400902

    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.
