Happy Thanksgiving to all the PAS families.
Years ago our Pierce had a real bad shimmy when a bump was hit at around 35-40mph.
Front end was tight with proper alignment.
Had new tires put on all the way around and had the front shocks rebuilt as they would leak out their fluid in a few weeks.
I don’t know which one solved the shimmy but the car has never done it again after those things were done.
That looks like a great find.
You get the clock and the vanity in one shot.
Wasn’t one of the 3 original Silver Arrows at the Redmond Oregon meet in 2006?
What a great find and a tremendously generous offer.

Ed, that fabric brochure is an unbelievable find!
What an incredible resource for someone doing upholstery on a ’36 V12 car.
Jim, thanks for the input about where your plate was on your car.
No pictures of the engine.
Description mentions a roll up divider window but the interior shot shows no evidence of one.
Also says it does not have original radiator.
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.
