Comment	Among the car’s former owners, as noted by Mr. Weis, was Frederick Z. Tycher of Dallas, Texas, a Past President of PAS and renowned collector of the famed Buffalo marque. It was later owned by Thomas Egan of Blairstown, New Jersey, before joining the collection of its present owner, by 2010.

Vehicle History	This handsome Enclosed Drive Limousine was built on the 144-inch-wheelbase chassis, which, somewhat remarkably, was the mid-sized eight-cylinder platform in 1936. It is one of just seven survivors recorded by longtime Pierce-Arrow Society (PAS) historian, Bernard Weis. Among its features are the division window iconic to the limousine model, as well as dual side-mounted spares with metal covers, window shades, rear jump seats, pressed steel artillery wheels, and, of course, the classic “Archer” radiator mascot. The rear compartment is upholstered in rich tan cloth, while the front compartment is finished in hard-wearing black leather, as was typical for limousines of the era.
