    Congrats on the purchase of a great automobile.

    As John mentioned, there are sure to be others that can fill in some gaps regarding your car’s history.

    Welcome to the PAS!

    Congrats on getting the motor back in the car after all these years.

    I look forward to an update saying the motor has been fired up and is running well.

    If the motor does have to come back out for some reason maybe you could remove the transmission first to help reduce overall weight and to bring the center of gravity more forward for easier removal.

    Finally got around to getting some pictures.

    Sorry it took so long but I had major PC issues at home.

    The coils on my ’29 slide out of the mounting bracket.

    When I was troubleshooting an ignition issue I found that the diameter of the Napa coils was too large to fit into the mounting bracket.

    It is a beautiful car with a great color combination.

    Best of luck with the upholstery.

    Sounds good.

    For the best available lighting, tomorrow I will pull it out of the garage and take a few shots of the various wood pieces in the driver’s area and in the rear passenger’s area.

    Would it help if I took pictures of the interior wood on my original ’29?

    I know the lighting and other factors would greatly alter the appearance of the finish but I’ll take some pictures and post them if anyone is interested.

    Craig Castillo

    Boy, those of us with ’29 and ’30 cars have more than one spot to worry about on our cars.

    Steering boxes, weak exhaust manifolds, crumbling carburetors, rear axles that like to snap and fragile headlight retaining rings to name a few.

    Another photo of a Pierce Arrow I found looking through the pages and pages of pictures.

    There are some great vintage photos on the site, thanks for sharing.

    Rick, the wheels are gorgeous and will look great on your car.

    Though, I don’t envy the work it will take to keep them looking great. :)

    Can’t wait for the finished product.

    For all you Windows 10 users you may want to tweak your privacy settings.

    I turned off as much information gathering as I could during the install when I upgraded to 10.

    Richard, what a great gift to display with your Pierce.

    Happy New Year everyone!

    Local agencies (city/county) used the octagon with the E in the center, state agencies used a diamond with the E in the center.

    With the plate number it shouldn’t be too difficult to track down what agency owned the car.

    Craig Castillo

    John, I agree. I would never drill holes in a perfectly good radiator shell.

    Good luck with your quest to get the guard mounted to your satisfaction.

    And Merry Christmas to you, too!

    John, in the emporium Frank Jones has a ’29 143 Limo for sale that has a stone guard.

    You may want to contact him and see if he can send you some pictures of how his is mounted or give you information for sourcing mounting hardware.

    The radio looks gorgeous now.

    Good luck getting the gremlins worked out once it’s in the car with the motor running.
