Jim, where was your lube plate mounted when you found it?
I know my Pierce was originally sold to a doctor in Pasadena so a Los Angeles lube plate definitely piqued my interest.
Ed, you can’t just drop that little tidbit without supplying some details.
Start a new thread if need be but inquiring minds want to know what happened.
Thanks for passing on the lead and maybe you could contact her and see if she wouldn’t mind being listed in the Parts and Services directory.
I think that chrome shutters look good on a later Pierce but it can be too much bling if you plan on adding fog lights or any other bits of bright work to the front end.
Our ’29 left the factory with painted shutters and with the right color combinations I think painted shutters look great.
But in the end it all comes down to personal preference.
I hope the building finds a good owner and it is preserved.
I found this link about the Annual Meet at the bottom of the page interesting.
Plenty of nice pictures in the article.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen ‘chrome’ artillery wheels.
Was that actually a factory option?
Restoration Supply in Escondido, CA has a motometer Pierce script plate.

Extremely beautiful car and great interview.
Good luck with the sale.
Hopefully it finds a deserving home.
There are some nice shots centered around the cemetery in the link posted by Mr.Blair.
Here’s the link.
It is a 12 cylinder car and the ad has 6 pictures.
Asking price seems low at $42,500.
Welcome to the Pierce Arrow Society.
As you delve into your research, get to know the marque and get to ride in a few Pierce Arrows I think you’ll come to the conclusion that many others have – the Pierce Arrow was the finest car of the era.
I’ve always heard them referred to as ‘rag joint’ couplers.
Great way to get back on the road in a pinch.
Good luck with your cross country travels.
Your trip would be a great story for the newsletter.
Nice find. A short but informative article about one of the marque’s offerings.
Hopefully it spurns the uninitiated into looking into PA motor cars.
Were the spring covers an option or were they standard on all PA’s?
I ask because I have never seen nor heard of any type of spring covers on our very original ’29 that was purchased by my grandfather in the early 60’s.
The car was purchased from someone who ‘flipped’ the car having purchased it cheaply from the original owner so the car has pretty much only had two owners.
That shop is clean as an operating room.
You’re right, the most important thing is you’re bringing the car back so it will be around for years to come.
The icing on the cake is that you’ll get to walk out into the garage and enjoy the car any time you like.
I like the little step stool to aid entry into the trailer.
I wonder how many Travelodge still have them?
I’d be interested in at least 2.
I have one missing from a spare tire now but I would be willing to have at least 2 on the shelf.
Nice see the drivetrain is coming along.
I know you’ll have a huge grin on your face when the engine fires for the first time.
Thanks for the update.
