  1. Yes, I will try to get a better pic that's clearer.
  2. I took this pic with my phone in a bad area. Its my 36 G but same carb. I hope it helps you.
  3. Here are 2 pic with the horn button off.
  4. Place your hand flat on the horn button and ring. Rotate your hand to the left, counter clock wise. The ring has inside threads. see pic
  5. Huppy John, Not sure if you are a member of the Hupp club,but we have tec advisors on each model of Hupp cars and a parts locator news letter that members advertise spare parts for sale. Non members also advertise parts they have for sale. If you are not a member and would like to join , just type in Hupmobile Club on your search engine. Hope this helps you..
  6. If that is a true picture of the car before it was taken apart, with the offers he has gotten, I would keep the car.
  7. As for the Hupp wheels, wood was standard wire and disc was an option. As for the Cadillac. The frame looks like its painted as well as the springs. Notice the mufflers standing on the wall. They look in fair shape.If the engine is complete and together that alone is worth the 2 grand. I live in N.H. I have more cars than any man needs BUT this car just begs to be saved.
  8. Well, Thank you S36PA. When Dale and I went up to Big Rock Ill to see this car he said take notes on the starting procedure as you will be the one that drives this car.When they started the car, they pulled out all 4 switches. I thought that Delco was refurring to the Delco distributor and the Delco coils. I should have read the Operation and Care Manual. I have read the manual and you were right on. Thank you again Chuck M
  9. Ed, do you by any chance have an electrical degree, if not, you sure know a lot about electricity. See pic
  10. Pierce Arrow says for better performance, run with the double spark turned on. With the duel spark system, you as a driver have 3 choices. Left, right or double. Double is 2 spark plugs firing at the same time. That will produce a lot of heat inside the distributor cap. It seems likely that the small holes are vents.The pic is the dash of my 1927 Model 36 with the duel spark system. There are 4 knobs above the ignition key that control the spark plugs . They are labeled L, R, Double and Delco. I run my car with all 4 turned on. In the pic, I am referring to the 4 knobs that start on the left of the ignition key. Next time I take it out for a ride I will try to make a video.
  11. Yes Ed, my mistake, I thought the Series 80 was a duel valve 6, now I know its a straight 6.. Please forgive me , I am a Hupp Guy.
  12. There is a head for that car on Ebay under Pierce Arrow that states that the head was crack checked OK.
  13. With the cost of a restoration these days, This .car I regret that I am selling needs NO restoration. It was restored a number of years ago and sat in a museum. If you are a person that loves trophy's, this is the car for you.I have showed this car for 4 years and always received a top trophy.. For the story of the car, scroll down to the Pierce Arrow site. Whom ever wants to buy this car, needs to come and drive it.The car will sell it self. How many cars do you know that have all the hardware in the people compartment 14 krt. gold plated and needle point upholstery done 1 stitch at a time. The price is $75,000
  14. Well it finally stopped raining.We went for a ride around Newfound Lake.Took a couple of pic at the end of the lake with my phone. Sun was in my face so I could not get a good pic.
  15. Got the car home today out of double locked storage. After a close examination it was noted that the design on the back of the seats are hand stitched as the original seats. Can you imagine how long it took to do this one stitch at a time. Another clue as to the expense of this restoration.
  16. That pic is from the brochure that was given out when a person would inquire about buying a new Pierce Arrow. Note that the pic I posted of the interior of my car has been made the same.
  17. I am all set the web master of WOKR sent me an email and a form for membership. Thank you
  18. As a past member of the Willys overland knight registry I am working on a 1923 Willys Knight that I need a distributor for.I tried to rejoin the club but can not bring up a form to re join, looking for some help to re-join. I am not a computer guy. Thank you in advance.
  19. Made a successful tripe back to N.H., can not take the Pierce out for a ride because of 2 days of rain. In 4 years the only water that been on the car is when I washed it.
  20. The chips you see on the fender are where the parking lights set. They match the headlights in shape. just a lot smaller. Hupmobile started using chrome in 1928 for all the bright work. He says the interior is Mohair, could be new or original. If he posted the serial # that is on the fire wall on the passengers side. I would know the exact year. As a Hupp guy, if i was not in the selling mode my self, its a good buy.
  21. I sure wish me and the wife were back in N.H. We could take a nice ride in the Pierce Arrow around Newfound lake, stop in Hebron and get an ice cream. That would sure beat sitting in the house in Florida.
  22. I had a Cat scan last Thursday. Went to see the ENT doctor on Tuesday, Ear, nose and throat. He informed me that the Cat scan was clear and I am still cancer free. By the last week of April I will be back up North and should be able to get the Pierce out of winter storage and get it out on the road.
