The intimate styling of the close-coupled coachwork built on Pierce-Arrow's longest chassis of 147 inches combined to make this streamlined vee-windshield LeBaron Sport Sedan a breathtaking offering in 1931. In 1963, gaming legend William Harrah served notice that he was up to the challenge posed by J.B. Nethercutt, who had already won Best of Show at the Pebble Beach Concours not once but twice. Harrah's restoration of this 1931 Pierce-Arrow 41 took the top award that year. Pierce-Arrow had long been recognized as a mark offering both expert engineering and style. It is interesting to note that Harrah's car was of the same year, make, and model that Phil Hill had shown in 1955 - but Harrah's 41 bore a custom Sport Sedan body by LeBaron. Harrah made certain that the Pebble Beach Concours would be a competition and not a one-man show. He not only won in 1963, but he also won again in 1964, so for a brief time, the two men were tied two-all. Harrah won again in 1966, but Nethercutt came back with two more wins as the decade ended. Theirs was a rivalry - and a friendship - that continued for years.
