Pierce-Arrows were beautiful cars in spite of the somewhat unusual and unforgettable trademark headlight styling and I hope that one does find a home. One of our local Packard owners also had a Pierce in his stable that he had done an exquisite restoration on -- almost all of it in his garage. Don't remember the year but it was one made toward the end.

In spite of being one of the three P's trio, will always associate a Pierce with the 40s version of the movie "Cheaper by the Dozen" and its sequel. One of the ongoing themes is the car, an early 20s Pierce named Foolish Carriage, would frequently refuse to start or would act up during a trip. The catchphrase was "must be that darn carburetor again". I think the car might have had almost as much garage and mechanic time as the red Jaguar in the Inspector Morse TV series.
