nzcarnerd Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I went to that show in 1978 during my USA road trip. I wonder if any cars there this year were there in 1978. Obviously many of the cars there today date from post 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 It took me a while to work this one out. I see it is a 1928 Pierce-Arrow Model 81, their lower price model which sold at Cadillac money - circa $3500 - rather than the circa $6000 asked for the bigger ones.

Gunsmoke Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Thanks XW for attending, recording, and presenting. I'm always attracted to the 50's-70's era British sports cars, lots of them to marvel at here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Thank you Xander W! I am pretty sure that 1928 Pierce Arrow seven passenger sedan with the "non-Pierce Arrow" lamps (actually a Pierce Arrow option at the time) is the one discussed somewhat in the "Not Mine" for sale section of the forum late last year. It was advertised widely, with some confusing information that made me doubt some of the ads may have been legitimate or not. Some of the advertising indicated the car may have been in the Midwest or even farther East. However, someone known on the forum claimed to know the car, and verified it as being in Oregon. It later showed up at a Portland swap meet, and I heard it was sold. Nice to see it again! Also a few really early (even by MY standards!) cars! The 1896 Riker Electric is wonderful! Fantastic! Expletives escape me! So is the Duryea! I cannot tell if the sign says "Stevens-Duryea" or not, nor the year? I applaud the effort to "dress the part" at car shows! However, a 1920s flapper sitting in the front of such an early automobile appears a bit anachronistic to me. While the gentleman's attire appears a bit "loud" for circa 1900, style-wise it is not far from reasonably proper. And if you have seen much original clothing from the era? SOME of it was more brightly colored than you might imagine! Again, THANK YOU! I needed something to cheer me up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 It is a nice show, and the setting is nice. Second time I have been there. Was going watch the awards, but lunch stretched out a bit. And I missed them. There will be another show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Some points of interest to maybe a few here? Out of curiosity, noticing the signs for the 1927 film classic "The First Auto" posted on each side of the Duryea, I checked with IMDB, and found that one of the cars used in the film was a then (1927) restored 1903 Stevens Duryea! Seems that maybe that was this car? Other cars restored for use in the film included an early Holsman and an early White steamer. Barney Oldfield had a cameo, and was shown driving 999. According to the trivia on the film, Barney was given top billing because after the film was completed, the actual male lead was killed in an unrelated automobile crash. The film company preferred to avoid drawing attention to his role after the crash. and switched credit positions between the star and Barney. Been a few years, but I have seen the movie! I also blew up the picture of the Riker Electric! The information sign on the car says it was a prototype, and indicates it was being displayed by a grandson of A L Riker! I may need to find out more about both of those cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKerry Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Thanks for taking the time to post these Xander. Looks very organized and quite an eclectic collection of vehicles. 'The First Auto' is a good movie, albeit a bit depressing at times, and Im not even a horse person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalowed Bill Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Mary and I enjoyed the show yesterday. Two years without the show can be an eternity, when you are the age of some of us. I applaud your dedication photographing all of the cars and sharing with the group! It's always been one of my favorite shows. In past years I have been fortunate to drive two of my cars across the stage. Hard to believe that the first time was 1980! The weather can be hot for the show, but yesterday it was in the low 70's with just the right mix of clouds and sun. The kind of weather we confirmed natives of the PNW live for. A day spent at FG is one of the best attitude adjustments that I can imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I have been to that show many times. I went to high school in Forest Grove, my shop rest room walls are covered with FG Concourse posters. Its bee several (you know how time flies) years since I last went, and the cars sure have changed. Several hadn't been made yet when I was living there. I live about thirty miles away now and since all of my family has moved, I don't get over there very often. I do still have a few HS buddies that I look up on occasion. Thank XW for the presentation. I suspect you must be hanging out fairly close to me these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK M Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Look me up some time. I usually have some cold beers stashed. I live in Newberg. However, l am leaving this afternoon to Puyallup for the Good Guy's Griots NW Nationals. I get up to the Wednesday Beaches Cruise at PIR once in a while.
