Hello Peter,

Welcome to PAS. The roster lists 26 Travelodges, and since not everyone looks at this message board, you may also want to contact a Travelodge owner or three near you with your list of questions.

Also, be sure to check out Parts & Services, you can search by year, model, etc., it’s a great resource. Good luck with your project.

A big thank you to Dave and Diana for hosting another great Gathering at Gilmore.

Logistically, this is a major accomplishment to direct everyone down the same scenic roads and keep everyone very well fed plus entertained and for 3 1/2 days, to boot! And Dave & Diana make this happen every year without a hitch.

Those PAS members who have attended the Stevens’ patented Gathering in beautiful Western Michigan know what an enjoyable and memorable event this is.

Oivind,

Thank you for posting this photo from your visit in the 1990’s.

This historical marker has either been moved or has gone missing from the “1695” North-end of the admin. bldg., we did not see it during last month’s National Meet.

There is a private NY foundation which coordinates the placement of New York State Historical Markers, this may be a future option if in fact the marker in your photo is missing. Stu

Curtis, we’ll all look forward to your update on this subject. Thanks for taking the initiative for this P-A preservation effort. Stu

Curtis,

The Buffalo History Museum may take an interest in this restoration / preservation project, too.

Interesting website, with an extensive staff including several special projects curators / coordinators.

But as you’ve stated, the first priority is to obtain permission from the building owner to proceed.

Curtis,

A quick search of Erie County R/E records for 1695 Elmwood disclosed:

Pierce-Arrow Holdings, LLC, 984 45th St., Brooklyn, NY 11219

A further Google search turned-up one phone number which is the fax line you mentioned, so a letter may need to be written.

Separately, during last week’s visit to the plant, I noticed a small historical marker now missing from the above the Admin Building main entrance door which stated:

“Pierce-Arrow, Famous Quality Car built here 1901-1936 (sic), Buffalo Automobile Dealers Association, 1959”

And if the Buffalo History Museum is to be contacted regarding preservation of the WW I memorial (above), the subject of installing a New York State Historical Marker (see link), with expanded & corrected verbiage, to replace the 1959 Auto Dealers sign, could also be discussed. Additional PAS comments and suggestions are encouraged.

Hello Curtis,

This is an excellent idea. Since 11/05, the admin. building, to which the memorial is affixed, has been owned by Pierce-Arrow Holdings, LLC, see bottom of attached link, and any restoration efforts would involve cooperation with this entity. Perhaps including the Buffalo History Museum in the discussion may expedite interest (plus City, County or State funding) for this project. Do any PAS members have any contact with this group?

During Saturday’s show on the street in front of the Buffalo Transportation Museum, we met many nice people, some thanked us for visiting Buffalo, others related stories of their Grandfathers or Great Aunts who worked at P-A, it was a very positive and memorable experience.
