Kirby, that is a great looking car.
Really like the color combinations.
I hope to see it in person some day.
That is great that the car was located and is still in good shape.
John Bonham was a huge car enthusiast.
The Led Zeppelin song Trampled Under Foot is all about his love of cars.
Good luck with your search.
Todd, the pin sticking out next to the manual wiper lever is to activate the wiper motor.
You pull it out and the wiper motor runs off engine vacuum.
If yours does not operate they can be rebuilt provided the casing is not warped.
Joe, you can search the roster by model and see who owns the same car you do.
That way you can reach out to them directly, as a whole lot of members do not frequent the online forums.
Todd, I have a ’29 EDL that is very original.
If you need any pictures or insight just let me know.
Just one thing, the locking clips for the lock rings can be hard to come by.
That is a ton of miles for any car, let alone a 1909 open car.
Would be amazing if the car was still around and could be positively identified as the car from this article.
Great to hear that Dave got his car back.
Hopefully the thieves will get what they deserve.
I just went out and looked at my ’29 143 EDL and it has dual mirrors.
As far as I can tell, it always has had those mirrors.
Car is extremely original and there are no other holes in the original panel above the mirrors.
Congratulations on owning such a great automobile for so long.
My Piere has been in the same family since 1963 when my grandfather purchased the car at the urging of my dad and my uncles.
My dad and uncles all had prewar cars and they talked my grandfather into buying the Pierce so he would have a prewar car, too.
Great to hear that another Pierce is back out on the road where it belongs.
Hopefully it’s just the pins that are worn and not the yokes on the rods.
If you scroll down on the website they even admit they named their company after Pierce Arrow Motors and even have a snippet of PAMC advertising.
I would think this is a clear violation of the PAS copyright.
These mats will also fit EDL cars of from ’29 – ’31 as I had one made for mine.
My original mat had a few, very, very minor differences but you would really, really have to look to see them.
The mat that David had done is so nice I wanted to put it in a clear case and hang it on the wall rather than put it in the car to be stepped on!
How big are the headlamps on the Series 80 and 81 cars?
This one sure looks similar.
If the carb bowl is filling with gas it sounds like you have a leaky float needle or you have a mechanical fuel pump that is pushing too much pressure and overwhelming the needle.
By the way, our ’29 was built Nov of ’29 so it most likely wears ’30 colors.
Here is the blue/black color combo on our ’29.
That link skips 1930.
Is there a reason for that?
I have not had the chance to measure the mat in my ED Limo.
Going to make some time for this today or tomorrow.
Thanks for taking this on, Dave.
