Pierce Arrow at auction

[ramair]

Just wondering if anyone knows much about the 1928 model 36 that will be auctioned at Auction America.  I have talked to a few people about this car and know that it has visited a few auctions in the past with a no sale.  It is a good looking car , but some say it is not running well, which could be caused by lack of use?

Expect any car you buy at auction to be 20% crappier than you expect. No test drive, no pre purchase inspection, no lift, just a car and the auctioneer's word. Cars that fly around to alot of different auctions are either problems that dealers want to dump or cars that are considerably worse than advertised and the buyers quickly move to dump them and/or the auction company offers to sell it for them for free to make it up to them at the next auction.

 

Good luck...
