'One of the 'Three P's' in America's Automotive History'
The famous 'Three P's' in America's automotive history represented the Peerless, Packard, and Pierce Arrow Companies. All three of these companies were premiere, luxury automobile companies and were known for quality, reliability, and performance. Automobiles that were built by the 'Three P's' were expensive with many models selling for more than ten times the price of a Model T Ford.
Pierce Arrow began building one-cylinder automobiles in 1901 and in 1907 introduced their first six-cylinder automobile. The Pierce Arrow designed, T-head, six-cylinder engine would become a Pierce Arrow trademark and would be used until 1928.
Pierce-Arrows were also known for the extensive use of aluminum throughout the vehicle and most Pierce Arrows had bodies that were cast of aluminum.
Another Pierce Arrow trademark was front fenders that were designed to incorporate headlamps. The fender-mounted lamps were first introduced in 1913 and continued to be a Pierce Arrow trademark until the Buffalo, New York company's demise in 1938.
