@jfranklin - my thoughts exactly - someone wanting to show off their collection. Maybe I can even charge them a storage fee 😉 @grimy - I believe the building was built in 1930 - Send me a PM and I can share the website that details our plans and also the history of the building. Interesting stuff!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Spoke to Ed who seems to live up to his legend status, and mentioned a lot of the same points re: maintenance, cost, loss in value, etc. I have a lot to think about now. At the end of the day we need a Pierce Arrow as the car will be displayed in a building that we are restoring that used to be a Pierce Arrow show room, but maybe purchasing may not be the best option. It is only a short term display so maybe renting is a better option. I really appreciate the feedback from everyone. -Kevin

Looks like you have quite the collection George!

Hi everyone, My company is looking to purchase a fully restored Pierce Arrow to display for a few years. We have no business in the car business, let alone the pre-war era cars like this. Needless to say we have no idea what we are getting ourselves into. We have a listing in mind but would appreciate some advice before pulling the trigger. Is there any paperwork that I should request with the sale? Anything that could hinder the value when we go to resell it? Why are some selling for $30K and others are $150K (like the one we are looking at). Would a professional valuation be worth it? I would be happy to share the listing that we are looking at via a private message if anyone is interested. I have read some of the comments and I see Edinmass seems to be a local legend / resident Pierce Arrow expert. Ed, if you read this, could you reach out with a private message I would really appreciate it. Kind Regards, Kevin
