alini Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 My Great Grandfather was William Woop, of the Cole & Woop company, I have found their name throughout a bunch of periodicals of the era and been lead to the Harrold's dealership in New York city. They were the only Pierce Arrow dealer of the time in NYC and had bodies supplied to them by my family. I am trying to track down any cars that still exist. Does anyone have info or maybe own a car with a 'Cole & Woop' body on it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul55 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 There is a good write up on Cole & Woop at www.coachbuilt.com I am not aware of any Pierce-Arrows with this coachwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alini Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 That was one of many pages I have found. If you look in periodicals of the day you can find advertisements for Harrolds boasting about selling the Cole & Woop bodies and I have found a few for sale listing as well stating the cars had those bodies on them. I would really love to have a picture of one, even if not on the road anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 What year were the advertizements? They would give a clue when the bodies were made. They sold a lot of Pierce Arrows in New York and surrounding areas in the old days, some of them must surely survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
