34 Pierce On Craigslist

I may go have a look tomorrow, I have a short day at work.

Don,

The price appears to be a fair one according to condition and the model. I

own one like it. They were the cheapest Pierce built (except for the earliest

one cylinder ones) and were in the Buick Limited price bracket unless you

loaded them up with side mounts and threw in an extra tail light like the

Fords had. They have an advantageous power to weight ratio. An old timer

who had 4 of them told me that as a college student in the old days, he

hopped one up. He could pull the old grape vine at 60MPH. It takes a lot

of gas pedal to make that speed on the new and improved freeway. I can

imagine what it would be like on twisty, two lane 1940’s highway.

Buy it and save it from a fate worse than death, transmogrification by

hot rodder!
