What a great way to get the Pierce Arrow name out there.

Good luck with the record, Kerstin.

You make a good point about not wanting to further complicate a spring issue with a repair shop over 1/4″.

I have a spare set of ’29 front springs in storage.

I’ll have to measure them and see how they measure up to the original specs.

Welcome to the Pierce Arrow Society.

The pictures on your shop’s website show a very nice collection of cars.

The dash on the ’34 Packard is gorgeous.

Would love to see some photos of your Pierce Arrows posted here or post them on your shop’s site and link them here.

Welcome aboard.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.

Here in Southern Calif we are finally getting a little winter cold.

It’s been down in the 30’s overnight.

I know quite a few of you drive your Pierces in the snow and I commend you for that. I could never do that with my Pierce. Since my PA doesn’t even know what snow is I don’t think she would ever forgive me if I drove in some.

Stay safe out there in all this weather you guys are dealing with.

Is this car being auctioned off again?

When I went to the RM Auction website I see that it sold January 19, 2012 for $206,250.

Thanks for the reply, David.

Sometime soon I plan on pulling the spring shackles apart and go through them as you can hear a slight creak when you step up on the running boards.

I just wanted to know if I was going to have to hunt down some springs as well.

Speaking of springs, my ’29 is very original and I noticed that the springs are just about flat with no arch when at rest.

Should the springs have at least a little arch to them when supporting the weight of the vehicle?

Car drives and rides nice. Other PA owners have said the car rides nice but I know the rear shocks are weak.

Some nice pictures in the article after the jump.

Great to see a car that is still in the family since new.

I was very tempted to go to this auction since it was relatively close but the rainy weather made me not want to sit in traffic for hours and hours.

If I had known a PA was there I would have braved the traffic just to see the car.

Congrats on the great find and rescuing this car from its extended slumber.

Please keep us posted on the progress and hope to see the car in person some day.

The water jacket area looks to be in great shape.

Thanks for keeping us updated.

Welcome to the Pierce Arrow Society, there is no better source for all things Pierce Arrow than this organization.

Good luck with the search for next your car.

The depth of knowledge of the PAS membership never ceases to amaze me.

Only two and half hours after the original post a ‘spot on’ solution was posted.

Great work, guys.

Bill, thanks for completing the information I was lacking.

I have been very busy with family obligations and did not have a chance to post a follow up.

The Onan condenser is the one I am using.

The points need to have a tab removed to make them work.

It was a very simple process with a dremel tool.

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

I purchased the Echlin C-778 and C-779 points, listed in the Parts and Services Directory, from Napa and made the slight modifications needed to make them work in my ’29 distributor.

I don’t remember what the part number was for the condenser but I can get that when I get home.

As I recall it was one that was not for industrial use, not automotive use but it has been a few years since I purchased everything.

There have been folks that have said the points listed in the parts and services directory are not the right ones since they have to be modified but I have never seen any other part numbers offered up.

The car runs great with the points listed above so I’m happy with them.

Thanks for showing us the progress and keeping us up to date.

The black wheels really make the chrome trim ring stand out.

Looks great.

Karl, thanks for actually listing the kit part numbers.

It helps those of us who look for parts whenever the opportunity arises.

I’ve been to Ford Model A swap meets and run across PA stuff from a vendor or two.

Having part numbers in a notebook sure helps when roaming the four corners of the country hunting for parts.

Great picture of your Pierce in one of the caves.

Twenty minutes is a long time to be driving underground.

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

I have also have a 3 leg dog bone puller that I used for the rear drums on my ’29 Pierce and I’m in So Cal so I could get it to you one way or another.

Right now the puller is at my Uncle’s place in Lucerne Valley but I could drive up there and grab it from him.

Let me know, my contact information is in the roster.
