Bidding ended at $21,100.01.

I didn’t see an indication if the reserve had been met.

Bidding ended right about what it sold for at auction.

Here is a corrected link.

That looks great.

Thanks for sharing your process and taking the time to write it up.

I will call him tomorrow about the transmissions.

I looked on the FB page but didn’t see his posts.

Maybe it’s because I have yet to create a FB account and be added to the PAS FB page.

It would be a near travesty to just scrap these transmissions, especially if they turn freely.

Hopefully someone who owns a mid 20’s car will pick them up and save them.

Heck, Arizona isn’t that far, if there are no takers and the price is right I may have to drive out there and pick them up myself if that means they will be saved from the scrapper.

The headlamps and cowl lights on my Rickenbacker are brass and I have had great results with Brasso polish.

I tried the new version of Nevr-Dull and was not pleased with the results.

Used to be that it only took a little bit of wadding to clean large areas, now it takes much more rubbing and much more wadding to clean the same area.

Welcome to the Pierce Arrow Society.

You have a beautiful car.

There is no better place for information and no finer people than you will find in the PAS.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

No snow pictures here in Southern Calif, we haven’t even really started winter yet.

The electric pump on my ’29 is only run for less than a minute just to get fuel into the float bowl since I drain the carb if the car will not be stated again within the next few days.

Once there is fuel in the carb, the car starts and runs using the original AC fuel pump mounted on the engine.

The original fuel pump pulls through the electric pump and regulator with no issues, even while on the freeway the car never starves for fuel.

The electric pump that I use to prime the bowl on my ’29 puts out anywhere from 6 -8 lbs of pressure.

Too much for the UU-2 to handle so there is a pressure regulator hidden along the frame near the firewall.

The electric pump is just there to prime the bowl when the car has been sitting and the car runs on the mechanical pump just fine once there is gas in the carb.

Thanks for the corrected link, Peter.

Being in a hurry I forgot to remove the http prefix when I posted.

For those that may want a sneak peek of the book before you purchase, Amazon has a preview.

Looks like some great content.

Very interesting.

I will have to check my stash of old plugs and see if I have one.

I have mostly AC plugs from what I can recall.

Arvydas, instead of searching by member name trying searching by vehicle.

Enter in the vehicle type (passenger car) the year (1936) and the model (1601).

The search will return a listing of all 1601 vehicles but you can look through and find the owners of the 7 passenger cars you need.

What a spectacular car to enjoy the mild fall weather.

Please post some pictures of your adventures.

With the scarcity of decent UU-2 carbs out there I may have to keep an eye out for a UUR-2 to run on the car and replace it with the original UU-2 I have on it now.

My current UU-2 is a ticking time bomb with the the condition of the pot metal main body.

What a great episode of Jay Leno’s garage.

Plenty of details about the car and a nice mix of on the road footage as well.

And judging from the comments, Pat just may have a new career as a video host!

Very sorry to hear of Phyliis’ passing.

My heart and prayers go out to Fay and her family.

The detail came out really nice.

Always good to find another quality plating source, thanks for passing it along.

I’ve used large truck mud flaps as radiator pads on other cars in the past.

They are usually cord reinforced rubber and are easy to work with.
