This Pierce-Arrow is powered by a 288-5-cid, 75-hp inline six-cylinder engine with a floor-shift three-speed manual transmission on a 130-inch wheelbase. It has been fully restored to a high level of quality and is accompanied by full documentation of the restoration and receipts.

This stately 1928 Pierce-Arrow Sedan displays a Desert Sand-colored body, offset by black fenders and a Pyramid Gray beltline, roof and wheels. In addition, the artillery-style wheels are accented by a handsome pinstriping and bright hubcaps with a set of period-correct whitewall tires. This example is fitted with a rare set of “New York City” headlamps, and it includes excellent brghtwork, an archer mascot, and rear-mounted spare. Many aspects of the interior are original, such as the shades, rear carpet, rear upholstery and door panels. The interior also includes new gray cloth front seat upholstery and a new rubber floor mat. The wooden dash panel, steering wheel and window frames have been beautifully refinished, and the restored instruments are mounted within a lovely metal insert. Underhood, the engine and surrounding area are very attractively detailed within period-correct components and finishes throughout.
