Hi Bernie, there are lots of us who do not post too often but enjoy every post and photo you share. THANK YOU for all of your posts. Ed

It's a 1934 to 1938 Pierce Arrow lens. They were used on the closed cars in the rear as vanity lights, there was also a round dome light that went on when you opened the passenger side door. Ed

19 years and 18k miles on my 36 V-12 Pierce and they still look like the day they were installed. I would not use anything else. Ed

Try calling John at 413-543-9017 during east coast business hours, he has a 836 he is parting out. Good luck. Ed

Cool, looks like 1925 or so. Looks like a form of Brewester windshield. Stewart Vac tank, looks like it was a good size car. Looking forward to a correct ID.

I think it's possible to opine on this subject for one hundred pages, but to cut to the short of it, with the ethanol removed, what would the new shelf life of the fuel be? And will the oxygenation agents, detergents, and lubricants added to the fuel that remains behind stay in solution, degrade, of alter their compounds to cause more or less problems after the ethanol is removed? Most vehicles with poor results are the earlier less adjustable carbs, (pre WWII) and the very small displacement engines. While most cars can be made to run reasonably well on today's fuel WITH LOTS OF TIME AND EXPENSE, it scares me to think about 15 or even 20 percent ethanol that has been tossed around by the tree huggers. It would also be useful if someone started a new technical thread on Stoichiometry, list all the fuel blends from the old days to today, with both fuel density, heat and energy content, and use of blending stocks on the overall ratio of air to fuel. Anybody up for that discussion?

Hi Stan, although I am only 45 I have been around the old car hobby since the late 60's. I "found" you car while at WNEC in the mid 80's but didn't have the money to purchase it. There were several other cars in the barn/garage at the same time. I also remember a 20's Dodge roadster among others. I will give you a call tomorrow, if you are too busy during the day, just email me a good time for you. Ed Minnie Class of 89.

Never mind on the list, I opened HH56's post and found it there. Thanks.

Hi AJ, those kits are very common and never sell for more than 25 bucks..... Cadillac and Packard both offered them as a factory accessories, Cadillac from 1929 to 1933. Looks very similar. Some had a whisk broom, as well as light bulbs, body polish, spot remover, among other items. Can you post a contents list? Put 160 miles on the 32 coupe yesterday. Ed

Is your Essex the 22 touring that was in Palmer 10 years ago?

Hi Stan, Looks like a very nice car! I live in Ludlow, there are a few of us younger guys in the area who only run PREWAR cars. If you want to stop by the shop, send me an email. Thanks, Ed edinmass@aol.com

We will have a catalog available by email soon. Just email or call with your needs till then. Many of the Stromberg parts are listed on ebay under Pierce-Parts-Store. Thanks.

36 to 38.

Wasn't a 131 inch wb a "short" 26-28 chassis? A look at the steering box will give a better clue.

Body looks like a 31, by Phillips? The engines look like 27 or 28 from what I see. Chassis looks early also, maybe with some later add ons. Looks like wheels are both snap ring and drop center. More photos would help. Looks like lots of stuff is missing. Ed

I will have my extensive assortment of reproduction Stromberg carburetor parts available at the Hershey fall meet in the RED field RCH 38-39. I manufacture more than 75 parts for the Stromberg UU-2 , UUR-2, EX-32 , and EE-3 series as well as a few parts for some other Strombergs. Some used parts are also available. We always buy good used cores, choke horns, and any condition parts carb. Bring it by and trade the old carb on your shelf for cash. We will also have a large assortment of Pierce Arrow parts for sale. Thanks, John. 413-543-9017

Last call for Gemmer series 215 steering box rebuilds with new worm gears. Gemmer 215 series fit Pierce Arrow, L-29 Cord, Stutz, Nash, Jordan, and others. I have successfully manufactured both left and right hand drive worms for these cars and have them installed and running down the road. We replace all internal parts that wear with new modern parts, install a new worm and worm bearings, and remove the sector bushings and install bearings, and install modern seals to prevent leaking fluids. This will be the last run of worms for several years due to the high cost of manufacture. None will be made for inventory. Call for details or pricing information. Satisfied customer references cheerily supplied. Thanks, John. 413-543-9017

Hi, will be at the fall meet again this year in the red field at RCH 38-40. We share a tent with the Pierce Arrow Society and Museum. If you need any heavy iron now is the time to ask before we load up. Thanks, Ed

It's another year already. My first trip was 1972 at 6 years old. I have only missed a few since then. I will be at Red Field RCH 38-40 with Pierce Arrow parts as well as Stromberg carb stuff. See you there.... stop by and say Hello, we share the tent with the Pierce Arrow Society and Museum. Ed

OK...... barn find with animals still in the barn, my last one would be a 1931 Cadillac from the Hudson Ny area in 1998. I left behind the Lincoln V-12 (open) as they wanted too much money for it. There were at least 50 cows in the barn. I can still smell it when I look at the photos. Cars from a barn with just hay or tractors, in March of this year I pulled out a 1934 Pierce in the northeast section of Ohio. The farm had no livestock, but was still making a living by planting. Pole barns are excluded by the first post, but they sure are my favorite spots to dig out treasure. Lately, shipping containers have been very good to me also. I would like to see a thread on how best to turn up cars, but like most, I won't give away my best "find" tools. Ed By the way I was on the trail of the Stutz in the above post, I ran it down till there were no more leads...... ( It took me 18 months to be at a dead end, while Aj and his dad were working on the car for around 20 years.....You can just never give up!) It was quite a treat to have a friend find it. The lead I had on the Stutz started in a small antique store in Detroit Michigan, and ran down to a town 80 miles from my home in Mass. it sure is interesting to run them down.

Look at the youtube video. It's severe. The flea market will be ok. Not so sure on some of the local businesses.

Steve, DO NOT OVER HEAT THAT ENGINE! It's not a 1977 350 Chevy. It won't take the heat. You need to make a checklist to understand why it's running hot. I'll send a pm so you can call me if you like. Ed

Hi Harry, Last I heard Cebert was not well. I would try him as well as Jack Passy, as he will surely know any west coast Lincoln. Both of them were part of the core of car collecting from the early days in San Francisco. Few others from the old days are still with us. Good luck. Ed
