SOLD ON BILL OF SALE ONLY
VIN# 336NI359
Pierce-Arrow was arguably the most uncompromising luxury marque in American automotive history, and this lovely example is Exhibit A.
Through the Great Depression, Pierce-Arrow refused to dilute its luxury brand by adding lower-quality, lower-priced cars to its line like Cadillac, Packard and others did. They sold automobiles for thousands of dollars at a time when $20 a week was a good wage if you could find a job at all.
And it worked – until it didn’t, and the company went bankrupt in 1938. But up until then, they produced amazing autos of stunning quality.
The 1936 models were not plentiful – only 787 were sold. But they bristled with innovation and defined luxury. Of the 787, only 138 offered the company’s new V12, a 462-cubic-inch behemoth that produced 185 horsepower (the new speedometer for 1936 12s showed 120 mph, for good reason). This rare car is one of the few remaining 1936 V12s.
The 1936 design included an early quad-headlight arrangement, with the two main headlights crafted into the fenders in the trademark Pierce-Arrow style – flanked by two smaller lights on either side of the massive grille.
A sumptuous interior ensured both driver and passengers traveled in style.
Don’t miss a chance to acquire on of America’s truly great automobiles.
