yachtflame Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Today, I stopped by to see the collection. The cars were parked pretty close together so it was hard to get good individual pictures. Here’s a few of my favorites. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I didn't think they would put most of them out in the rain or I would have stopped. ( I know I don't even take my beater quality cars out in the rain) I was actually not far away on Saturday coming back from a Funeral in Hudson Falls at around 1:30, but the rain was coming down pretty good. I got wet just being one of the paul bearers, so I figured you all packed up and were in having cocktails. Now I wish I would have stopped. Would have definitely improved the mood of the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 The red car has been in the same garage since I was born………58 years and counting. We did the engine in it about 15 years ago. He paid 4k for it at the time…….too much back then. There are three surviving late convertible sedans, two eights, and a twelve. The 1937 V-12 Conv sedan show car was cut up in New Jersey in 1952 while still low mileage. The dash and engine are in a boat to this day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you mixing the engine job with his '31 convertible coupe? I saw that older, contested rebuild receipt and inspected the internals of the convertible engine in the early 1990s. My final comment on the engine job that cost too much was that the rebuilder wrote too little on too brief a receipt. That was done prior to his ownership.

Grimy Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Maryland car is a 1935 (note radiator shell and exterior horns, among other differences); the Florida car is a 1936.

This Pierce-Arrow was a fixture at Rochester, NY area car shows for decades when the well-known owner lived in the area.

edinmass Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) The convertible sedan sat in Arizona apart for 40 years, and when I mean apart…….it was frightening. The car was available for very little money, very little. Several PA guys passed on it. Frank ended up buying it and assembling it. He even made it run…sort of. I know what value I placed on it at the time apart. Also, after inspecting it at Frank’s place when it was assembled……I came up with another number. Many parts were swapped out for ones off better “parts cars” and thus it was a car whose condition was hard to describe. I figured 3500 hours minimum to restore it correctly. A great car and worth the effort…….just needed limitless time and dollars. I’m wondering now if it will ever get done.

Tony Zappone Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 This car was delivered to the factory Pierce Arrow branch in Newark New Jersey. It was purchased new by a German engineer in New Jersey, sold to a Buffalo engineer, then to another Buffalo owner, and finally me in 1968. It really was in great shape, and I did a frame on restoration in the 80's and 90's. As I understand the Golish car was in very bad condition. My car is the only one that had the divider window 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavernstand1734 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Thank you to those who posted photos from this meet. Although I was in attendance, photos from others perspective is always enjoyable! This was our second PAS Meet, we had a wonderful time, visited a place we might not have picked on our own (a really beautiful area) and again enjoyed the company of many considerate, kind and thoughtful participants. Looking forward to the 66th PAS Meet in Michigan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
