I am impressed with the above comments. Here is some more on the subject; although, not as well written. The famous and beautiful 1933 Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow show cars were built in South Bend. I believe there were five of these cars and they were the company's effort to impress the motoring public with a modern styled automobile. They were shown around the country and demonstrated their speed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. They were fast cars, V-12 powered, and clocked at 100 mph+ at the Speedway. The Silver Arrows came into production, but were adaptations of the show cars. Pretty, but not beautiful. This must have been after Studebaker sold Pierce.
