Several type identifications have been associated with the vehicle. One is Mercedes-Benz W31 G34, a second designation a 1939 Mercedes-Benz G34. Is there a more definite identification or vehicle designation for this historical vehicle? I hate myself for appreciating Nazi staff cars.

Walt G Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) thanks Ed, great stuff! I really like the 4 horsepower Pierce -Arrow at Yellowstone, Am I correct to assume the fellow sitting up on the top with the pea shooter is there to keep any stray Arrows away from the coach work so they don't Pierce the surface?

Yes, the top boot looks exactly like this one (fits 1934, 1935, and 1936) - I would like to find an original and then make few so other people have them (though not sure other people will like end price as it was $390.00 in fabric alone) or at least get everyone in a better spot (I have paper patterns from a deconstructed one that Curt took apart and have a collection of photos from one of the few surviving originals).

Not particularly more valuable due to rarity or desirability, but these 2 door Broughams in 851 and 852 cars are as rare as hens teeth - they were all scrapped out early in the game as the cheapest proposition for a parts car for an open/convertible 851/852 Auburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Do we have any idea who the coachbuilder was of this Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Cape Top Sport Phaeton? Its pretty wild for that timeframe, note the upswept cowl, descending belt-line, low three-piece windshield and shape of the rear door opening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty wild for Brewster, Did young Tom Hibbard and Ray Dietrich slip a few of their designs into the selection that Willy Brewster didn't notice... Maybe this was what got them fired so they decided to start their own automotive architecture endeavor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Hubbard was there sometime between Rubay in Cleveland, and leaving in 1921 to open LeBaron .....couldn’t have been very long. The Rollston boys also got the boot. Small world in NYC during the post war depression. (WW1) Everyone knew all the other players.

Notice the Skiff influences with the cowl vents, split windshield, and the crazy rear door. Not your off the shelf design. Very unique and unusual for that firm. Have money?

Walt G Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 OK, tonight's offering's: the Duesenberg sedan photograph was taken in Baltimore, Md. and the snapshot I scanned this from has to have been taken in the early 1950s at the latest The Hispano Suiza conv coupe has a 1949 NY license plate on it and was at one time owned by writer Keith Marvin. The Pierce Arrow sedan has a 1949 California plate on it and it is noted on the back in pencil the name George Riggs and that it was a 1933 seven passenger sedan and model was 1236- does that mean it is a 12 cylinder? I really have way to much stuff.....................but it is fun🤨 I hope everyone looking at these continue to have some relief of the stress. This thread is now over 6 months old and I am sure I have all the moderators a bit frazzled , sincere thanks to all. Walt 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The Pierce is a V-12 on the short chassis. I believe it may have been sold to a friend on mine, now gone, in the San Diego area.......I don’t have my notes available. It could also belong to a friend up in the LA area. Not too common of a car, and with a bit of effort we can track it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
