What can I say Jay you’ve outdone yourself with this car it’s not only a amazing vehicle but it appears to be in immaculate condition. I’d only seen pictures of this vehicle this was my first time seeing a in depth tour and wow is it amazing the quality that went into these cars no wonder people have raved about them for decades the detail all around is incredible it not only has beautiful wood trim but it was amazingly finished and I love the use of different woods that complement each other, everything was over the top, the seat frames and the materials used on the seats, I didn’t see one thing on this car that disappoints the eyes or the senses so in the wyr I am happily going to pick both pierce arrows. Thanks again this was a real pleasure to view and I can honestly say the pierce arrows go to the top of my dream car list, Packard, rolls and all the others take a back seat to pierce arrows as far as I’m concerned 😮👍

In 1933 Pierce Arrow offered what was called the Silver Arrow. It featured futuristic styling which set it apart from anything else on the road. It was priced at $10000.00 which was a lot to spend during the depression. Very few were manufactured, maybe 10 or less. All Pierce Arrows are recognizable by their headlights which flow from the fenders. I would chose the Pierce Arrow over any of the cars shown here, although Cord would be my second choice.

Awesome information =)

My Pierce-Arrow story from my Dad was that in response to the Stock market Crash was that his father gave up the family chauffeur and the Pierce Arrow in favour of driving a new Studebaker himself. My Dad remained friends with their chauffeur and at an older age they would both go to Harlem Jazz clubs together. He said never the Cotton Club and the like because they were segregated. He never named the places except they were the after hour places that all the hot players ended up at. His father then bought just before they stopped selling new cars bought a brand new 8cyl Packard, with 2 additional sets of tires and a years worth of gas and service.

One of the Grand marques of the time, a car for Americas upper crust of the time.

She's a beauty, Jay! For the mid thirty's, she's the top of the tops. 🎩😊. Excellent body color as well, compliments the woodwork and chrome, and the headlights in the fender set Pierce Arrow apart from all the rest. Might be a bit tricky changing lanes with that huge blind spot, but probably mostly a Glidden tour car, so no sense in worrying there. The brake and gas pedals shaped like cushion insoles, I guess that makes sense! Reliability was Pierce Arrow's selling point early on, probably a durable car as well. It's funny where you find these rare gems, someone in the Wausaukee area has one, the repair and body shop down the road from the fairgrounds was repairing and repainting one from the mid 30's a few years ago, but not quite as fancy as that one!!

I need to get books on each car brand. If you don’t know I’m a huge Packard fan but I would’ve taking this one home with me had I had the space in the budget to do so but with that said the crappy realization is depending on what Side of the coin you’re on these cars are going to continue to go down in value because the people that appreciated them are moving on that’s why this channel exist to try to get more people interested in the classy stuff.

On the other hand, this is not a car for the average collector or a guy that wants to own a vintage car he can take to car shoes sponsored by clubs and dealers associations.

Had the Depression not only killed PA, but also nearly Studebaker, there probably would have been an SPA, Studebaker Pierce Arrow Company for many years. In fact, there would have likely been other acquisitions. Studebaker was associated with so many great names, White trucks, Pierce Arrow, Packard, Mercedes Benz, you have to conclude either bad management, or fate itself could stop such opportunities. This is a gorgeous jewel of a car. The 33 Pierce Silver Arrow was designed and built at Studebaker. Druthers: 35 Packard, 36 Cord.

Sorry, but you got that grille function exactly backwards.

Once the engine has warmed up, the grille opens to allow cooling air through to prevent overheating.
