My front mat also seems to have some softer material as a backing.
At least under the part where the battery compartment is.
It just looks like a thicker, not as dense rubber.
That portion of the mat is what is really suffering since I have to move the mat to access the battery from time to time.
I may remove the battery cutoff switch so I don’t have to pull up the mat before I start the car after sitting for awhile.
In case I wasn’t clear, I just want to make sure I am on the list for the front mat.
I still have the original one that is getting more brittle every year.
Well said, Greg.
While the dual filament bulbs in my ’29 are bright for an antique car they are far from optimal for night driving with modern traffic.
More focused light on the road is always a good thing as long as it doesn’t blind other drivers.
Some 6v bulbs for our taillight assemblies would also be great.
A 4cp bulb just doesn’t cut it on today’s roads.
I, too, am curious to see if your car gets reunited with its original engine.
I always felt this forum needed an ‘Other Makes’ forum so members could discuss non-Pierce related stuff like this.
I feel it would keep more members logging in regularly which in turn would drive more traffic to the Pierce side of things.
Let us know how your Cord engine adventure progresses.
Congrats on the sale.
Too bad you had to take a hit on the deal but a very significant car was saved from an uncertain future.
Hopefully the new owner joins the PAS.
It would benefit him greatly during his restoration if he does.
David, those are some wonderful items.
I think an article in the Arrow would be appropriate to focus on a few of the PAMC items, why they were produced and how you came to find them.
I’m sure the stories from just a few of the items could fill pages.
$30 a pop.
A little pricey but the high end LED bulbs tend to be.
I will have to check the clearance under the flat lens on my ’29.
If the car is a proven 12 cylinder convertible that is a great price.
Someone got a great deal on that one.
Rick, if you can locate factory ones there may also be slots that are cut into the fender for locating tabs on the chrome strips in addition to the screw holes needed.
I’m not sure about these strips as I’ve never seen them on or off of a car but other chrome strips work that way.
What does one have to do to arrange a visit?
Sure looks like it is supposed to have dual rear wheels.
There are two extra wheels inside the passenger area of the bus so maybe those are the wheels that go with the bus for the rear dual wheels?
They sure want a lot for that bus.
Ad states it is complete but shows no seats at all.
Not even the seat frames.
Would be a great old beast if it was restored but the seller won’t get anywhere near his asking price.
Let’s see if this link works.

Would mud flap material work this?
I’ve used cloth reinforced rubber mud flap material as cushion material when mounting radiators and it may work in this instance as well.
Paul, send me the scanned image and I will post the image for you.
Craig
I look forward to hearing about your adventures in Big Blue.
And welcome to the PAS!
A nice sequence with a lot of vintage cars.
But the Pierce still outclasses them all!
That filter looks like it was made for the car.
Thanks for sharing and congrats on the new Pierce.
Milton is a heck of good guy to pick up a car from.
