Yeah buddy congratulations I’m impressed you got it That song was on here once before, but it gets hard to keep track of what songs we did for name that tune. =)
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 😮👍
I first thought it was The Dipsy Doodle by Bill Haley and the Comets. But research proved me wrong. So, I guess this was featured in High Society from 1956? Grace Kelly's last movie before becoming Princess Grace? I never have watched that one straight through....I always preferred The Philadelphia Story (I'm an old film buff).
Totally agree.. there is nothing like a senior packard or Pierce arrow Bugatti or delahaye those cars are just wow and give off a presence nothing new has
To be honest, the videos you do from The Classic Auto Mall are my favourite. It’s just you and the car without background noise and people interrupting you or walking through your video.
Thank you I missed doing them at classic Auto Mall, love going there and missed it frankly, I’m friends with a lot of the staff it’s always great catching up =)
@@MyHumanWreckage I understand the mall is his first choice anyways. However he gets access to other rare cars where available since he works hard to find those cars and owners willing to grant access to them.
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.
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.
Jay, this is a great example of why I "dig" your channel! Your description of the lines, trim, and textures of each classic are great - no preconceptions and no resorting to "standard" terminology. Just unvarnished opinion and accurate description. The work you put into the contemporary research and the pricing, stats, and "YOU would pay..." equivalents are fantastic. In addition, the use of your standard viewpoints, "buttons, gauges, and knobs" and the amusing glovebox tests lighten the atmosphere and make each video more fun. I literally don't miss an episode and enjoy every minute. Andy
=) thank you so much for the positive vibes happy you dig this channel I personally love cars that are being lost and forgotten, don’t get me wrong we cover everything but seems most everyone here likes the orphan cars over all the others which I totally dig =)
This is a total work of automotive art!🤩 I love the Caddy, the Packard, and the Cord, but this would be a must have for any list of dream cars of that era!! Cool video!😎
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!! A rolling work of art, thanks for the tour. 🎉🎨 😊.
Thank you so much for sharing that insight I love cars off the beaten path I just wish I could find more information on this particular model for whatever reason pierce arrow has checkered years so to speak and this was one of those gears that there isn’t a whole lot of information out there I’m sure the information exists it’s probably just not on the Internet. 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. But if it ever does hit rock bottom I will be buying it up and saving it and driving it preserving it for future generations I can’t be the only person that digs this stuff
@@What.its.like. I know what you mean, Lawrence had the same problem selling Julius's 1909 Packard when Julius and his wife Margaret passed away, plus the White gasoline car.. not many enthusiastic old car buffs were left to want the early gas and brass cars, though interest ebbs and flows. That Pierce Arrow might be loosing value now, and for who knows how long, but at some point the market will rebound, but just when is anyone's guess. My goodness though, what a beautiful luxury car! Would make a great movie car, maybe that's the way to stimulate interest in the gems of the 30's? 💎PS, Hurray, I'm happy to hear that you are a huge Packard fan!! 🎇🎆🎉
@@What.its.like. Lol, good one! When you've arrived in style and are ready for that trip around the world 🌍🌎 😊. You'll have to "ask the man who owns one", which at this stage is anyone who shows theirs at the Concours d'Elegance. 🎩
I even love the cheap Packards like the 120s and the 115 c I reviewed a 115 C a while ago and I was really impressed by that even though it was a six cylinder car it was only $100 more than a Chevy or Ford at a time for a Packard if I had one I would drive that car every day six cylinders change out the rear end you probably get 20 miles of the gallon out of it if not more.. and to the everyday person that has never seen a basement level Packard they will think that it’s a really elegant car meanwhile it’s a basement model packard
My God what a beautiful car. This car screams, in it's own understated way, old money. Keep your Cadillacs, Lincolns, and even Packards. I'll take the Pierce-Arrow over all of them. This car is symbolic of a time never to return.
We have a 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham 2 Dr. 97K original miles. It’s Black with very light grey interior. Factory wire wheels, chrome package, full factory gauge package. My grandpa ordered it for my grandma in late 83 as an 84 year model. The car has always been garaged. Never in an accident. It looks showroom new. It’s a stunning example of Oldsmobile of that era. We’re asking $10K.
Sweet if you have a link with pictures and asking price etc feel free to share and remove link when you sell the car =) We have a facebook group as well link in Description if you want to share on there as well
@@What.its.like. I have low vision, and I don’t know how to go about selling it or who to contact to get it sold. It’s currently in Southern California and was originally bought from Kirby Oldsmobile in Ventura, California. The car is about 30 miles from where it was purchased
1. Whatever's left over. 2. Cord. About RVs (campers). Check out the RV hall of Fame museum in Elkhart, IN. Also, it's called RV/MH which stands for RV/Mobile Home, but the MH is not what we call MH today. It's MH like Spartan mobile home of the 30s-40s (?).
Peirce Arrow with headlights in fenders are so nice. Funny New York didnt allow lights on fenders for many years. We have a few local Pierces for sale here in the Mohawk Valley of New York but dont have fender mounted headlights and they are not as nice.
Great information I totally agree I’ve seen a few that don’t have fender mounted headlights.. that’s a distinctive hallmark without it cars look eh, except if the lights are wood lights those are cool
I know they have one they might actually have a couple I will look into seeing if they will let me do an episode on one I’m hoping to go there next year to do two very awesome cars. Thank you so much for that lead =)
You've come a long way since you started this site and you're doing amazingly well. And of course you'd buy that rig if you had the cheddar. Who wouldn't?
Thank you glad you noticed lol haha but yeah I can’t wait to see where it’s at next year finding new tricks and editing is getting easier Totally would buy this if I had the money
One of my favorite videos so far. Most of this model did have a quarter window. I have ridden in a 1933 and 1934 Pierce both V12s. Pierce is my choice for both.
I’m not joking if I had the money this thing would’ve came home with me.. it’s almost been a week since recording that episode and I still think of it I was also thinking it would probably be better off getting the one with the V 12 because the V 12 was produced for a while longer than a straight eight.. Great choices I wonder how many cars they made like this because like you said most of them had a quarter window this one doesn’t I’ve seen another picture of one very similar to this totally different color so they made at least two lol
I’m speechless. As I wrote before, my great grandfather owned one, it’s clear why he did. WYR: I can’t believe I’m typing this, but the Pierce for both (and I love Packard and Cords). Thank you as always ~ Chuck. P.S. Sorry I’m late again. Working on refinishing a piece of furniture I did almost 30 years ago. Just about done. In another “believe it or not” moment, I painted it.
Hi Jay!: WOWEE! What a gorgeous car!! Now those were CARS they SCREAM automobile to me! So nice! That one is well turned out, too! WYR#1 I would have picked the Packard, but that Pierce is SO NICE! #2 Always wanted a Cord! Even if it is unsupercharged.
The color was awesome =) going to go back in a few weeks they had a lot of cool stuff there still have stuff in the pipeline from Hershey and green field village too lol great choices
As much as I like the '36 Cord, I'd still have to pick the Pierce Arrow for both scenarios. This is a beautiful car. I love the back seat. And that grille.
Great video as always Jay. Would love to see a comparison of the three P’s: Packard-Peerless-Pirece-Arrow. At one time these three were considered to be the best money could buy.
Glad you dig this video I totally would love to do that I have never seen a peerless in person I might’ve saw one at Gilmore but it’s been a while but that is an episode that I would totally like to do one day I would also love to compare a marmon 16 to a Cadillac 16
Another piece of fine automotive art, brake pedal looks like a pedal on a air brake truck or bus. First 35 Packard Super 8 , second 36 Cord 810 hands down, makes the other cars out of date.
After seeing this video without seeing a video on the other cars and being a Ford guy, I would rather have the Pierce Arrow. How can you not with just those pictures? I have even seen an early vintage Lincoln from the era, and it was very impressive. It wasn't the same car you showed in the picture. 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. This car belongs in a museum. That is the only place for this car. A place where it will be kept pristine and protected.
I’d like to see the next owner use it.. that is the only way parts get made if people don’t need parts for these cars they stop making parts.. for example model A you can still get everything for it because people still use and drive model A and have a huge part base because people are still buying parts.
Hi I have really enjoyed your work. There is a gorgeous Pierce Arrow Travel Trailer at the Nettercutt Auto museum in Sylmar, California. If you haven't been there, be sure to go. You will love it. The collection, to me, is staggering.
Travel Lodge - the Cussler has one outside Denver, Nethercutt has one north of LA and I think the Gilmore does as well. Beautiful, stately, quality throughout - very old money. Unusually nice example for CAM. WYR - I think I'd take the Pierce in both cases, even over the 12 cylinder K. the Cord, great though it is, is just a totally different animal and I'm shopping for the others, I'm not looking at the Cord.
They are so cool I got to see one of Gilmore Auto Museum I’m going to ask if I could do a bid on one that they have there I think they have more than one the last time I was there I think there was one that was hooked up to a Packard but I could be wrong it could’ve been another travel trailer from that time
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. The grille closes when the engine is cold, as it is when parked in the video, to allow the engine to warm up to operating temperature more quickly. Once the engine has warmed up, the grille opens to allow cooling air through to prevent overheating.
I was on a Packard website and that’s how they explained it the grill bars shut when they get up to a higher speed so it doesn’t create drag if the engine is running cool
@@What.its.like. "They" know not whereof "they" speak. The sole reason for the thermostatically controlled grille louvers is to regulate the temperature of the engine. Just the same as the water thermostat or thermostatically controlled controlled fan in modern cars. As you yourself said, "thermostatically controlled grille".
I like the Cord (way ahead of its time,) but that electronic semi-auto gear changer tended to be trouble prone. Definitely a Packard or Pierce if money wasn't an issue. Some of the Lincolns also are very nice. Caddys are nice, but like something a bit more "sporting."
Packard 1st every time ❤️❤️❤️🥰 Cadillac has a great front end styling but a utility,lack luster Body ?? 🤔 Send it to a Coach Builder for a four door dual cowl phaeton body 🤔😱...deep Maroon color and dark charcoal fenders 👍🥰 Enjoy your adventures Happy Motoring ✌️🤠
WYR1: Packard edges out the Pierce by a nose WYR2: Cord looks absolutely perfect, and the size is more manageable, but the Pierce has the prestige. It is election season, so I'll write in the Studebaker President Land Cruiser sedan.
Great choices I absolutely love this car and you know me I’m more of a Packard fan lol No they don’t make cars like this anymore and it’s an absolute shame people that think cars that are luxury cars now I have no idea what a luxury car frankly is I think it’s a jazz song from the 50s
Yeah it was supposed to say months i’m in Western Pennsylvania Akron is about an hour and a half away from here.. I meant to get back and say if you live in those conditions sometimes you pick up the bottle and forget to put it down lol
Only Cadillac from 6 choices would entice me over Pierce Arrow due to 3 windows A,B,C,D pillar design, smoother, more sofisticated, faster engine. However front end of Pierce Arrow is so gorgeous and unique that would make me think twice on the choice. Yes, Cadillac is not so rare but I presume finding parts usable for GM should be easier than for an exclusive luxury rare yet orphan brand for a very long time like Pierce Arrow. Packard looks cheap by comparison. Cord looks weird. Lincoln and Packard don't look bad but they are middle of the pack to me.
@@What.its.like. Today's Jeeps are pretty much throwaways. Nothing like the ones of yesterday that could easily do 700K-1M with little more than regular maintenance. They were overbuilt then. Kinda crude? Uncivilized? Lackluster MPG? Hey, it was 'sposed to be, it was a truck!
Haha yeah it’s the type of place you pick up the bottle and forget to put it back down It’s usually overcast and dreary by now but the sun has been out all week
One day would love to feature one Would love to feature at least one of every product that pierce arrow made over the years I can find a gilded birdcage that would be really cool
Great choices could you tell that it was absolutely in love with this car the asking price isn’t extremely astronomical for what it is either I keep telling myself if I can just wait and hold out for a little while longer I’ll be able to buy whatever senior or junior Packard that I could ever possibly want aside from the LeBaron cars Who knows maybe those too one day.. that stuff it’s just coming down in value like a rock on the flipside I saw six cylinder mustang fastback for 60 grand which I thought was absolutely insane because in my mind that’s still a $12-$20,000 car.. The coupes have also shot up in value.. 66 mustang fastback has always been one of those cars that I really want to own I might have to try to get one soon before their unobtainable.. but with that said for the same amount of money if I was going to spend $25,000 on a car it would be a really hard choice between a 66 mustang fastback or 57 Goldenhawk
@@What.its.like. Yes, I could tell 😊! As far as old Stangs go, I consider them over-rated. Around here, you can't throw a cat at a car show without hitting a Stang, Camaro, or Vette! I don't even bother looking at them anymore.
wild guess Now You Has Jazz by Bing Crosby. Louis Armstrong on trumpet.

I first thought it was The Dipsy Doodle by Bill Haley and the Comets. But research proved me wrong.
So, I guess this was featured in High Society from 1956? Grace Kelly's last movie before becoming Princess Grace? I never have watched that one straight through....I always preferred The Philadelphia Story (I'm an old film buff).
Superb craftsmanship on those vehicles.
Thanks for the history lesson.
I would love to have seen these cars on the road back in their heyday!!!
Me too
I love 50’s and 60’s cars (born in 1954), but these great 30’s cars just have PRESENCE.😮
Totally agree.. there is nothing like a senior packard or Pierce arrow Bugatti or delahaye those cars are just wow and give off a presence nothing new has
To be honest, the videos you do from The Classic Auto Mall are my favourite. It’s just you and the car without background noise and people interrupting you or walking through your video.

Pierce-Arrow looks more majestic than Lincoln and Packard. I wonder do you have a chacw to feature a Peerless model from the same year?
Oh my….what a true luxury car! The front end is magnificent! Exceptional restoration.
Totally agree
Going with the PA. What a jewel of craftsmanship and elegance.

Another piece of fine automotive art, brake pedal looks like a pedal on a air brake truck or bus. First 35 Packard Super 8 , second 36 Cord 810 hands down, makes the other cars out of date.
Groovy choices =)
After seeing this video without seeing a video on the other cars and being a Ford guy, I would rather have the Pierce Arrow. How can you not with just those pictures? I have even seen an early vintage Lincoln from the era, and it was very impressive. It wasn't the same car you showed in the picture. 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. This car belongs in a museum. That is the only place for this car. A place where it will be kept pristine and protected.
I’d like to see the next owner use it.. that is the only way parts get made if people don’t need parts for these cars they stop making parts.. for example model A you can still get everything for it because people still use and drive model A and have a huge part base because people are still buying parts.
Hi I have really enjoyed your work. There is a gorgeous Pierce Arrow Travel Trailer at the Nettercutt Auto museum in Sylmar, California. If you haven't been there, be sure to go. You will love it. The collection, to me, is staggering.
Awesome thank you so much for that lead.. I want to go to California not sure if it will happen next year who knows
Travel Lodge - the Cussler has one outside Denver, Nethercutt has one north of LA and I think the Gilmore does as well. Beautiful, stately, quality throughout - very old money. Unusually nice example for CAM. WYR - I think I'd take the Pierce in both cases, even over the 12 cylinder K. the Cord, great though it is, is just a totally different animal and I'm shopping for the others, I'm not looking at the Cord.
Awesome lead thank you so much great choices as well =)
The Pierce & the Pacard would be my top two choices.😊
Sweet choices =)
3:00 That TraveLodge trailer interior is VERY cool.
They are so cool I got to see one of Gilmore Auto Museum I’m going to ask if I could do a bid on one that they have there I think they have more than one the last time I was there I think there was one that was hooked up to a Packard but I could be wrong it could’ve been another travel trailer from that time
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.
Great choices awesome information =)
Man Ive got to pick that pierce arrow wow nice and the V8 caddy😎
Sweet choices =)
That car is the tops!
Totally agree =)
Sorry, but you got that grille function exactly backwards. The grille closes when the engine is cold, as it is when parked in the video, to allow the engine to warm up to operating temperature more quickly. Once the engine has warmed up, the grille opens to allow cooling air through to prevent overheating.
I was on a Packard website and that’s how they explained it the grill bars shut when they get up to a higher speed so it doesn’t create drag if the engine is running cool
@@What.its.like. "They" know not whereof "they" speak. The sole reason for the thermostatically controlled grille louvers is to regulate the temperature of the engine. Just the same as the water thermostat or thermostatically controlled controlled fan in modern cars. As you yourself said, "thermostatically controlled grille".
First scenario I have to go with the Pierce Arrow. Scenario 2 it is the Cord, such an advanced design!
Awesome choices =)
Jump seats are much much better idea than rumbler seats offered by competition at the time.
Jump seats are cool =)
Have yet to find a car with the side seats that pull out and sit on the outside of the car, they exist
@@What.its.like.In that case I would rather accept rumbler seats vs outside of the car seats...
Yeah me too lol
I like the Cord (way ahead of its time,) but that electronic semi-auto gear changer tended to be trouble prone. Definitely a Packard or Pierce if money wasn't an issue. Some of the Lincolns also are very nice. Caddys are nice, but like something a bit more "sporting."
Totally agree
Beautiful Pierce Arrow and a fair price at $78000. Not sure what happened to the right side hood at 15:24 Looks like a sub-optimal repair.
Yeah I’m not sure but when good is down can’t see that spot fenders hide it
Packard 1st every time ❤️❤️❤️🥰
Cadillac has a great front end styling but a utility,lack luster Body ?? 🤔
Send it to a Coach Builder for a four door dual cowl phaeton body 🤔😱...deep Maroon color and dark charcoal fenders 👍🥰
Enjoy your adventures
Happy Motoring ✌️🤠
Totally agree glad you dig this episode
I would choose the Packard because it seems more the man's car. The PA is just too fancy to be fun.
Sweet choice =)
In 1935, many Americans were earning $1500 a year, and were glad to have it, to give you and idea of the cost of a Pierce-Arrow at $2995.00.
Yeah it was expensive but cheaper than what they are selling new luxury cars for
I'd love for you to come see my Morris Minor! Haha
Where are you located?
35 Pierce Arrow, not even close
35 Pierce Arrow, not even close, but the Cord is always cool
Dunno, but like it....
Awesome choices =)
WYR1: Packard edges out the Pierce by a nose
WYR2: Cord looks absolutely perfect, and the size is more manageable, but the Pierce has the prestige. It is election season, so I'll write in the Studebaker President Land Cruiser sedan.
Awesome choices =)
Cool very cool car. Shame the government monetary policies starved the economy.
➡ alot of car for tha money 💵
That’s what I’m saying
I think if they had yellow lenses, they were called "fog lights"
WYR: All of them.
NTT: A jazz song from the '60s is my guess.
They don't make cars like they used to.
Great choices I absolutely love this car and you know me I’m more of a Packard fan lol
No they don’t make cars like this anymore and it’s an absolute shame people that think cars that are luxury cars now I have no idea what a luxury car frankly is
I think it’s a jazz song from the 50s
@@What.its.like. Cars were built better back then by a long shot. I may have guessed the wrong decade, but at least I was in the right century.
I can’t believe this isn’t priced much Higher. To a Collector/ enthusiast they will pay more.
It’s priced nice cheaper than a new wagoneer
A month? try six. In Ohio here, and it's dark at 6 and won't be nice again until April.
Yeah it was supposed to say months i’m in Western Pennsylvania Akron is about an hour and a half away from here.. I meant to get back and say if you live in those conditions sometimes you pick up the bottle and forget to put it down lol
Only Cadillac from 6 choices would entice me over Pierce Arrow due to 3 windows A,B,C,D pillar design, smoother, more sofisticated, faster engine. However front end of Pierce Arrow is so gorgeous and unique that would make me think twice on the choice. Yes, Cadillac is not so rare but I presume finding parts usable for GM should be easier than for an exclusive luxury rare yet orphan brand for a very long time like Pierce Arrow.
Packard looks cheap by comparison. Cord looks weird.
Lincoln and Packard don't look bad but they are middle of the pack to me.
The Lincoln and the Cord.
Awesome choices =)
$78,000 isn't really that bad.
For a top body style Pierce arrow I totally agree.. that’s a stellar price I don’t have that kind of money but if I did.. it would come home with me
$78K? That's a steal for a Pierce! Beautiful Wine Red finish, but expensive to maintain & repair. Certainly not a "daily driver."
If I had the money I would do an episode on this car in a new grand Wagoneer for which one is more reliable..
@@What.its.like. Today's Jeeps are pretty much throwaways. Nothing like the ones of yesterday that could easily do 700K-1M with little more than regular maintenance. They were overbuilt then. Kinda crude? Uncivilized? Lackluster MPG? Hey, it was 'sposed to be, it was a truck!
The wagoneer costs 80k and has nothing but problems it’s like 80,000 paper weight
A song by Al Bowly would BEST fit this car.
Dipsy Doodle???
Jojo Rabbit soundtrack
Chick Webb I think 🤷🤞
Great guess hot88 just got it
Now you has jazz bing Crosby
Jay…just say it. If you’ve ever been to Akron, you’d know why there are sooooo many alcoholics there. 😮😂
…or Youngstown.
Haha yeah it’s the type of place you pick up the bottle and forget to put it back down It’s usually overcast and dreary by now but the sun has been out all week
Some of the P A bicycles were shaft drive!
One day would love to feature one
Would love to feature at least one of every product that pierce arrow made over the years I can find a gilded birdcage that would be really cool
WYR 1. Either the Pierce or Packard. Both are stunning! The Lincoln looks like a cheap Ford Fordor in comparison. 2. Pierce.
Great choices could you tell that it was absolutely in love with this car the asking price isn’t extremely astronomical for what it is either I keep telling myself if I can just wait and hold out for a little while longer I’ll be able to buy whatever senior or junior Packard that I could ever possibly want aside from the LeBaron cars Who knows maybe those too one day.. that stuff it’s just coming down in value like a rock on the flipside I saw six cylinder mustang fastback for 60 grand which I thought was absolutely insane because in my mind that’s still a $12-$20,000 car.. The coupes have also shot up in value.. 66 mustang fastback has always been one of those cars that I really want to own I might have to try to get one soon before their unobtainable.. but with that said for the same amount of money if I was going to spend $25,000 on a car it would be a really hard choice between a 66 mustang fastback or 57 Goldenhawk
@@What.its.like. Yes, I could tell 😊! As far as old Stangs go, I consider them over-rated. Around here, you can't throw a cat at a car show without hitting a Stang, Camaro, or Vette! I don't even bother looking at them anymore.
35 Packard---35 Cadi.
Sweet choices =)
Pierce #1. Pierce #2

THE DIPSY DOODLE
It’s not that song somebody already guessed it now you has jazz Bing Crosby
