The Pierce-Arrow Model 48 continued the company's reputation for luxury and innovation. On December 12, 1912 the company applied for a patent that concerned headlights mounted on the crown of the fenders to allow for improved lighting. The grant was granted on February 24th of 1914 and was first seen of a Model 48-B2. The car also included electric side lights integrated into the cowl.
The average price for a seven passenger Tourer would set the buyer back nearly $5000. The cars were powered by a six-cylinder, 525 cubic-inch engine which was capable of producing 48 horsepower. The car was controlled by a four-speed sliding gear transmission and had rear wheel brakes. The suspension was comprised of a semi-floating rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs.
Two extra folding seats came standard on the Model 48. An electric generator and starter, electric Klaxon
