The Pierce-Arrow Company had been launched in 1901 and by the late 1920s was experiencing financial difficulties in a changing marketplace. The company merged with Studebaker in 1928 and the results showed up in improved mechanics and styling. The merger had its benefits but by 1931, sales were in decline, as was the entire American luxury automobile market. By 1933, Pierce-Arrow was back in private hands.
Nevertheless, Pierce-Arrow continued to offer high-quality motorcars. In 1932, the company introduced a V-12 motor in addition to its in-line eight.
This 1936 Model 1601 features custom coachwork by Brunn & Company of Buffalo, New York. It is powered by a 385 cubic-inch, nine main bearings, Pierce-Arrow in-line eight-cylinder motor that develops 150 horsepower. Its mechanical features include a Warner overdrive, free-wheeling, synchromesh transmission, and automatic choke.
This Pierce-Arrow, once part of the famed Barney Pollard collection, received a complete, frame-up restoration to its as-original condition. It has received awards wherever it has been shown, including the Pierce-Arrow Society's Best in Show award.
