edinmass Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Interesting story on this Pierce Arrow, that I will post later on. It’s hasn’t been running since the 50’s, when it was taken apart for restoration. Long time owner recently died........we finished assembling it........and have two hundred miles on it. Taking it to the Pierce Arrow Society Annual Meet tomorrow, where it will be driven on all the tours and offered for sale. AACA members get first shot at it. Show up to the meet at Hershey Pennsylvania and take it on tour. Runs great, and no bad habits. Turn key car needs nothing to enjoy today. Runs cool, starts great, smooth as glass ride. $44,800 or a near offer. Needs to go. We have too many cars in the barn. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoringicons Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 That seems like a helluva deal to me. A great opportunity for someone to get a significant and great looking car at a very reasonable price. I doubt it will last long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 95% of collector cars owned by AACA members are probably less than the cost of a new truck! That shows the excellent value and affordability of the hobby. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Sorry I didn’t post the car’s story.......we had the trip to hell taking the car from Massachuetts to Hershey. Flat tire, road closed for two hours due to an accident, pouring rain, traffic.......well, we arrived safe. Will unload the car in the morning and “blog” the tour.

edinmass Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) While not a “done deal” it seems this thread has helped the 1934 Pierce find a new home. It’s probably only a 50/50 situation........time will tell. (Several low ball offers were refused.) The car ran great on tour, and had a touch of vapor lock as there wasn’t time to install an electric fuel pump.......a must on EVERY Pierce from 1929-1938. It did actually.........fail to proceed........as John is so cheap he thought the car would run on air..........so we put some gas in it and all was well. Fortunately it occurred at the hotel parking lot........that was 10,000 to 1. Just dumped a Jerry jug in it and it fired right up. I’ll post the interesting story of this car and one other in the meet photos tomorrow. My best to all, and thanks for all the nice comments and text messages from everyone. It’s fun to share what true pre war cars are all about.....driving them......with family and friends.

edinmass Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 One last note...........we will have a fantastic Pierce sedan available soon. Never before seen in the PAS, great overall condition.........probably 92-94 points CCCA. Done in our shop, for ourselves........but things change. We have been working on this frame off car for several years......it’s sharp, well done, and has great eyeball. Probably another six months before we get it listed for sale. If your in the market for a great sedan, PM me. It’s a 1933 eight in very nice colors......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup.....been there, done that. This is a qualified buyer, wanting his first Pierce, and came to the meet to investigate the cars and club. We took him on tour for a day. He’s local to us up north, so there was no need to push a deal. He’s coming over next week to put some miles on it. It’s a fantastic driver......and it will sell itself. Turn key Pierce cars are impossible to find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
