Pierce-Arrow had been a motor car manufacturer for only four years when they produced what was regarded as one of the largest automobiles ever produced. When the top is raised, the car stands seven feet high - 'Great' Arrow indeed. This is the only known example of the Great Arrow from 1906. The car displayed is essentially as it was when produced - it was mildly refurbished, not restored, in 1950. It has its original leather interior and all original parts. The 2007 Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance was its inaugural appearance at a concours event.

The Pierce Great Arrow, introduced in 1904, was powered by a four-cylinder engine which was upgraded to a larger six-cylinder unit in 1907. The elegant bodies rested on a wheelbase that measured 93-inches and was the first automobile to be bodied with cast-aluminum panels. These stately vehicles carried a price tag to match, around $4,000. In comparison, the Pierce Motorette sold for under $1,000.

The Great Arrows were Pierce's entrance into the luxury car segment. They were more than just attractive vehicles, they had performance that allowed them to outpace their competition. A Great Arrow won the first five Glidden Tours and proving the vehicles performance capabilities and reliability. The reputation of the Pierce Gold Arrows quickly soared and the vehicles were in high demand.

In 1908, the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company was officially established.
