Thank you for your yearly efforts to secure the Optima battery deal.

And I can vouch for their longevity.

I had a red top in my Pierce for 10 years before I swapped it out.

The battery was still operating just fine but it was old so I decided to replace it before it failed.

Our Pierce and our Rickenbacker were purchased by leads from other ‘car’ people.

I had one set of Houdaille shocks done at Four Points in Santa Ana.

The job was done well but they are very pricey.

I was going to try and have the other set done in Oregon.

Not sure what all they did to my shocks but when I picked them up the guy said all they did were seals, said the inside was fine.

Asked me where I found them since they looked like they had very, very low miles on them.

Nice looking car, David.

Mutual love is a thing of beauty, unrequited love never ends well for anybody.

That is a very special Pierce Arrow that deserves to be lovingly restored to its former glory.

I’m sure it will end up in Pebble Beach eventually.

What a gem of a theater and an amazing instrument.

That had to be a special treat.

Good job, David.

Did anyone grab video of this performance?

If so, I’d love to see it.

That spring looks like it belongs inside the fork tube on a motorcycle.

I bet that is under a lot pressure when it is compressed.

Thanks for the updates.

I purchased my sealing washers from Dave Murray.

The washers for the water jacket on the side of a PA straight 8 are comprised of two metal halves with a composite materiel in the middle that will ‘crush’ when the bolt is tightened.

The metal halves appear to be fairly soft so they will distort enough to provide a seal.

The washers may be the same for the earlier cars.

The Broadmoor must have had some serious clout at that time.

To have a PA engineer perform days or weeks of testing and to have Conoco formulate and refine a special blend of fuel just for their cars.

Great looking car.

Sitting at $32,700 right now.

Bill, those are some great pics.

And yet another example of why PAS people are so great.

They’ll go out and pull the wheels to take pictures to help out another member.

Speaking of tattoos, how about a nice little Tramp Stamp right above the trunk?

Ha!

Sure, you could order a new Pierce pretty much anyway you wanted but there is a pretty small market for Liberace style vehicles.

I’m sure these cars will find a new home with satisfied owners.

And if these cars sell below market because of their ‘look’ hopefully their new owners will rapidly grow an appreciation for Pierce Arrows and feel the need to buy more PAs.

William, I agree with you on wanting to be cautious with original wiring.

My car is very original stem to stern and I only use the candle power rated bulb as called for in the owner’s manual.

If I absolutely must run at night I use a battery operated LED light or two on the rear of the car to provide extra visibility to other drivers.

Looks like that switch got man handled a few times.

You’re going above and beyond with this project.

Keep the photos and updates coming.

You just know there will be plenty of people that will fall for that commercial.
