Now that my friends, is a car! What wouldn't I do to have one of them.....

OMG these a coool cars!!!!!

I'll have to get some more (better) details because I was in awe most of the time we were in the garage~

But this past Sunday I saw TWO of these great cars- I 'think' one was a '27, and the other was a '34.
Not show quality, but they have a history, and a GREAT story behind them. They also have some good company in the garage- a '49 Caddie and a '64ish Dart. The Stude and the '49 Dodge share another garage.

I've ridden in one of those vehicles. The front had bucket seats, so the first thing I did when I got in was reach around for the phantom seatbelt, only to find none !! Old habits die hard, lol. The second thing is since they were a luxury vehicle during the 20's and 30's, they are more than capable of running 60 mph with today's traffic .

I, on the other hand would call 'her' an Automobile of destinction. That beautiful paint finish sure makes room for a high quality wax commercial...

That was the jist I got in talking with the owners of the two I saw~ especially the V-12!!!!
Stopping is a different story...

Are those wooden artillery wheels?

[rockne10]

I think they may be stamped steel artillery wheels.
Studebaker Corporation owned Pierce-Arrow from 1928 to 1933 so this would make a fine addition to any Studebaker gathering.

That photo was taken at the 1986 Pacific Can-Am Zone meet.

I love the way those headlights flow into the fenders. I have always thought those were beautul cars.

[Sdude]

Didn't Studebaker build the engines for these cars? I understand they were the same motor as in the Studebaker except the PA had more main bearings.

Those are definitely wood spoke wheels.

That's the stuff legends are made of. Studebaker did not make the PA engines.

My wife went to our wedding in that car in 1980. Still owned by the same person.

The two cars in the background are both 1933 PA's.

Here is a Pierce Arrow that I bet you never knew existed! Peggy and I went to the Rail Road Museum today. This was a Narrow Gauge "work car." There were 2 others there also...one was a Buick.

Being a railroad nut longer then a Stude nut, I've always loved my geeses!
