Thank you, Grimy. That is a start. I have looked around the P-A society website and I certainly agree with you. I t will keep me busy for a long time. I ad mit I was trying to take a shortcut. From the list of cars you own I would surmise you know you're way around Pierce Arrows. You even have a couple of the models I had on my list o f suspects. Is your 1601 your favorite driver (if it is a driver) since it has over drive & synchro and a higher cruise speed ? Thanks again. I am concerned about parts available, as seems the case with the more rare cars like Auburn, Franklin, Marmon.

I am looking a some Pierce Arrows to consider for purchase. I seem to recall reading somewhere that there were some models that were, shall we say, not quite as good as some other models. From what I have seen, P-A was all over the place with model numbers, engine sizes and wheelbases; so it can be a bit confusing trying to compare models from different years. I cannot remember where I read about the different attributes of the different models, so I'm asking if someone can either steer me to some place where I can read about the relative merits of each model; or, alternatively just tell me which models are thumbs up and which models are thumbs sideways (not down). Models I am currently looking at are 845, 80, 1601, 133 for what that is worth, but they may disappear and a new model enter the picture. So maybe better if someone can just point me to a reference source where I can read for myself. Thank you.
