Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the interior shots as well. While off-topic, I really enjoyed the Henry Ford Museum, seeing earlier "technology" and innovation. Some of it, I often think, would still be better than what we've got today.

Very cool - great work! Wish we'd known you had worked on it before we visited there late last month! The Pierce Arrow was one of the more memorable old RVs we saw - at least to us. Fun to think we "know" someone who helped restore it.

I love the old house cars-tell me, is this Pierce considered a full classic by CCCA? They seem to allow all PA's after 1925, is that right?


Not sure.

That is really neat Steve.
It looks like it had split ring wheels on front and one piece wheels on back and spare. Is that correct?


It has been over 25 years since I have seen and worked on it so I really don't remember. When I was doing the work, the wheels were off.

I would have to say that the rear and spare tires are not "authentic". They are a modern style rim that was not around in 1925. However, I'm sure if the owner searches around the swap meets, he may find the proper vintage rims and replace them in time.
