The Pierce Arrow Motor Car Company of Buffalo, New York was the utmost in American luxury car manufactures.  The trademark integrated headlights were Pierce Arrow's most noted feature along the "kneeling archer "hood ornament. These headlights could not be used legally in the city of New York because of the glare in oncoming traffic therefore, the second set of lights were used because of their narrower width.  Pierce Arrow was in business until 1938.

This Pierce Arrow is from Memphis Tenn. And was restored by Herb Watts in the early 1970s.  The Pierce Arrow was purchased in 1973 from Mr. Watts.

A most unusual feature is the location of the release for the rumble seat, which is behind the front seat in a compartment known as the "fifth Door" referred to the location of  your "fifth of liquor" during the time of prohibition.  The transmission has "Free Wheeling", a device which allowed you to coast down hills at unlimited speeds.  The wheels are made of wood and are known as "Artillery Wheels".  The small door on the passenger side is called the "Golf Door" to store and transport golf clubs.

This car is fitted with an optional trunk which houses the luggage and comes with the extended bumper.
