And I forgot to add – Jim please post some pictures of your new Pierce.

She looks lovely in the one photo you posted.

Congrats on the new Pierce!

Tom, your answer is spot on.

I took my door lock assembly to an old school locksmith and he was able to cut a key for it no problem.

He did kind of scratch his head when I told him it was for a ’29 Pierce Arrow but he found a blank that worked great.

A 155″ wheelbase car would be an absolute beast.

Most modern parking lots would be quite inadequate for a vehicle that size.

Paul, great illustrations of an interesting topic.

That engine is in spectacular shape!

It has to be one of the most well preserved pieces of early Pierce history you’ll ever run across.

Even if you found a Motorette it would be shame to hide that engine inside a body.

Very nice find, especially it being in running condition.

Congrats on your new piece of Pierce history.

Restoration Supply in Escondido also carries welting.

It is on page 51 of their catalog.

Their number is 800.306.7008

They are in the parts and services directory.

It was done much better than most but it would have been nice to see the owner put that effort into a proper restoration.

Thanks for sharing.

That does look like an amazing reproduction.

Great job.

I should be in the area around that time and it would be great to meet up with you if you have some spare time during your visit.

Drop me an email or give me a call so we can setup the particulars.

Great info.

Thanks for posting.

I will definitely keep this in mind when I purchase oil for my next oil change.

Congrats on reaching this huge milestone!

Everything should come together much faster now.

Thanks for keeping us up to date.

Not sure what they belong to but they are in very nice shape.

It is a very elegant car.

Good to hear that your wife has taken a liking to the car.

It’s always so much easier when your other half shares the same passion for Pierce Arrows as you do.

Then again, Pierce Arrows tend to bring out something special in everyone.

Ended up that the winning bid was $315 and there were 2 bids that cmae in after the claimed end time for the bids.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since eBay has been known to be crooked at times.

I’m bidding on this.

Is anyone else here doing the same?

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

What a great find.

It is super rare to find a car with 90 years of known and verifiable history.

Enjoy the car, it’s a beauty.

The plot thickens.

Thanks for keeping us up to date with all your trials and tribulations.

Keep ’em coming.

Greg, I’m sure the added drivability of the downdraft more than makes up for the lack of originality.

And since it was installed by a Pierce expert I’m sure it was done right.

David, that is a great looking Rat Fink. It is extremely clean for its age.

Greg, that is a ’29 distributor cap but that downdraft carb and air cleaner are definitely not ’29.

I guess once all the usable UU2 castings disintegrate all of us early 8 cylinder guys will have to use downdraft carbs.

Must be the California only version.

He’s nice and tanned, laid back and half nude.
