Here is a photo of a Stutz engine just finished this week, if you would like more photos or detail shots let me know. Sorry about the light. Hope you enjoy it. Ed

It actually went in the same area as safety rules, fire extinguisher, car insurance, safety glass, and not checking lighters. I have 100 point cars as well as old barn finds just cleaned up, I disconnect all lighters. Thanks, Ed

Dear Jason (AKA Stutsnutz), I agree with almost your entire post. I am sure that rocks would come my way driving any bright color Classic car in the depression. Rumor is that the Brewester hart fronts were bought so the owners could say "It's just a Ford." (So I have been told by people who built them.) As far as the style of a hearse, most in the pre 1935 era had carved wood panels, but up here in New England it was also common to have the sides in glass so people could see the casket. I can think os several of these off the top of my head, including a Rolls P1. On the subject of Stutz, I am very lucky to have grown up aroud them. For quite some time as a teen I thought all of them were DV-32s ...... we have a lot of great cars out east and it was some time before the BBs, Ms, and others came my way. Over the years I have been able to help on restorations of cars built from 27 through 33. Even got to play under one of the "blower" cars last year. It was very slick, and a lot of fun. If I buy another car in the future, it will probably be a Stutz. If you like I can post some neat Stutz photos for the fourm. One last question--- Is Stutznuts a medical condition that a urologist can help with? LOL All my best, Ed Minnie

Yes Packard53, It's a 1933 Pierce Arrow 1247, But not a town car, Le Baron and Pierce called all limos Enclosed Drive Limousines. Can anybody tell me why a 1933 automobile Has a 1931 body, 1932 Hood grill and radiator, and 33 front fenders with custom 33 rear fenders? Hardware on the car is also 31-32-33 , the wood wheels were also 32 items. Thanks, Ed Minnie II
PS. It is not a rebody in the era..... it was built new this way.

Ok guys, It's a 1247 chassis, and has 12 pistons. The 1247 was made in 1933. Most of this car was NOT. Comments on the wood wheels, year and builder of the body, fenders, and front clip is what I am looking for. Any new comments? Ed Minnie II

Hi Mike, A custom Lincoln could have been any color the owner wanted. Pete is correct in that most were not painted in any wild colors, but SOME were. I have a copy of some of Brunns order sheets with Pierce and Lincolns on them. They were all dark blue, deep green, or black. Take a look in the CCCA general post marked posting photos..... My 36 PA is shown in "electric blue" according to some members. Lots don't like it, the girls think it is great. I just don't like driving a car that looks like a undertaker is driving it. Great colors also make resale much faster, and usually at a higher price. Remember the old saying RESALE RED? Pete was right, paint it any color that makes you happy. You will be the one washing and polishing it, why not have YOUR color on it. What body builder and style is it? Try looking at factory literature to help on a color. Best, Ed Minnie

RE Stutsnutz ....... yes the covers very often won't fit over the cover. I seat the tire up on the bead then let out the air. I keep a airtank in the trunk on long trips, but so far have not had a flat in 2o years and 25,000 miles of old car touring/driving. The covers have been on over the tires now for 2 years, it was an old photo. Ed

Buicksplus...... There is something on the car that will enable a Pierce guy to know if it is a 8 or 12 .

I guess I can answer this question as I am the one who requested they not be checked in the new rules adopted in Colorado back a few years ago. In the early 90's I was Judging a Lincoln with a wire reel type lighter. The reel brok while the lighter was on, and we could not get it to shut off. We ended up pulling out the wire to prevent a fire. If it were a regular lighter and a judge dropped it on your wool seat you would not be a happy camper. Ed Minnie II

Ok, This is not the idea I had in mind for making new interesting posts, but the photo was on my hard drive so I'll start here. This is an easy one.
1 What is the marque/year/series?
2 Who was the body builder?
3 I am sitting on the right, who is on the left?
Hint.... The car is not as easy to identify as it would seem. NO LOOKING IN THE MEMBER HANDBOOK
