vermontboy Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) I thought perhaps someone would be interested in seeing some pictures from the 1961 Pierce Arrow Society meet held on the 100th Anniversary of the Mt Washington Toll Road.

Mark Huston Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Great pictures that make you wonder where these P-A's are today - and if they still look as good as they did in 1961. Thank you for sharing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermontboy Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 It appears a lot of the better cars restored in the 50's and 60's now reside in museums. Restorations today are fairly cost prohibitive for many. I was looking at an old issue of The Arrow (1961 - Series 61 Model 5)) with an article on this meet (4th Annual Meeting) as well as the 1st Western Meet held in Santa Barbara. The back cover has a picture of "Mr. William (Bill) Harrah's 1928 Tourer 7 Pass. Mod. 36". Attendees included Bill Harrah and Phil Hill. Truly the glory days.

John_S_in_Penna Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Notice that some of those cars, in 1961, were only30 years old. In terms of years, they would be theequivalent of 1984 cars at a show today. Yet howoften do 1980's cars appear at today's events?And many of those older members in 1961 likelyhad first-hand memories of Pierces on the road!

Mahoning63 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Wonderful pictures, thanks for sharing. Like stepping back in time.The 6th picture is of a very interesting body style, never saw it before. Wonder if it came from Pierce's factory.
