Pierce-Arrow may be best remembered as a marque that never compromised. While other great names of the Classic Era introduced new lower-priced models to counter the Great Depression, Buffalo’s grand automaker resolutely focused on the same upscale, discerning clientele to which it had catered to for 30 years. The company’s cars continued to be impeccably engineered. They were beautifully designed and constructed in all facets, just as they had been in the heady pre-Depression days when everyone from Fatty Arbuckle to Woodrow Wilson could be found in one.

Powering the Pierce-Arrow is a straight eight-cylinder engine with a three-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drum brakes. The body is finished in red with matching spoke wheels, and wide whitewall tires, trunk, and behind the trunk, a rear-mounted spare tire. The car has turn signals, dual wipers and outside rear view mirrors. The interior is still shown in good condition, and is decorated with wood trim and a clock mounted in the dash.

This Club Brougham carries with its self a stellar history. In 2005, at the 48th annual Pierce-Arrow meet in Springfield, Illinois, this car won the R. Vale Faro Trophy. This award is given to the most original Pierce-Arrow.
