The family that runs these auctions is the same that puts on the Veterama Show in Mannheim and has the Automuseum Dr. Carl Benz in nearby Ladenburg, Germany. TG I have the original, but I'm sure you guys will excuse me from posting it without the auction labels since it was over 100 bucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that it sold for 72 euros plus. Dreamy photo of a superb design - if I'd known about it then you would have had an extra bidder! It would be great to have a low-res image added to the Voll & Ruhrbeck Cadillac page at Coachbuild. com.

alsancle Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I like that site. I'll post a scan. I remember when it was in upheaval and I think I offered to buy it to keep it going. PS: Bidding there is very expensive, final invoice for that one photo was 108 euro then converted to dollars it was like 125 bucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob I wholeheartedly agree ! It appears that most of the 100K was spent on gemstone do-dads. They’re all over the place on this car. Ugh! He probably had a Duesy with tiger skin upholstery....lol.

Unfortunately, of the six Pierce Arrow's that went to India in 1931, this one does not survive. I have been hunting photos of this car for 40 years, and ALL of these are new to me. Doozer.......you get a ride in a Pierce Arrow.....or whatever else I have hanging around. You are OK in my book. PM me if you have any other Pierce photos.

Doozer Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Wow! Glad some of you are enjoying my photos. I have read just about every post here for the last 15 years. I was, am , R_ajax peterson. I no longer have the email I registered with and my last passcode won’t let me in. Last year I was speaking with Matt Harwood on the phone and he encouraged me to just get back on someway, glad I did.The photos I have posted came from three photo albums of car shows in Missouri. I purchased them in Ct back in 1982 at a yard sale. Many pics are not cars but car related. Also tiny racing boats, some small airplanes and trucks. For me to be OK in Ed Minnies book is the “Bees Knees”. Have seven more photos of that pierce. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
