1916 Pierce-Arrow Model 66 7-Passenger Tourer

  • Chassis Number: 67219
  • Engine Number: A4 269
The Pierce-Arrow Company was founded in 1865 in Buffalo, New York. They began manufacturing a variety of items from ice boxes and birdcages to bathtubs and bicycles. The first car was built in 1901 and in 1903 Pierce introduced the Arrow, a bigger car. This led to the Great Arrow with cast aluminum body panels on a 93-inch wheelbase and helped build Pierce's great reputation by winning the first five Glidden Tours.

Beginning in 1909, Pierce-Arrow became known as the car of Presidents when William H. Taft became the first President to use an automobile for official occasions. This practice continued until the last Pierces were ordered in 1935. In 1914, Pierce-Arrow introduced its patented integral fender headlamps as an option which became the most recognized design cue for Pierce-Arrows for the rest of the company's history.

The Pierce-Arrow six cylinders models were first offered in 36, 48, and 60 horsepower versions in 1910. By 1916, the Model 66 was powered by an 825 cubic-inch 6-cylinder engine offering 66 horsepower. The cylinders were cast in pairs and secured to an aluminum crankcase. Pierce-Arrow bodies were made from 1/8-inch thick aluminum panels cast in Pierce's own foundry.

This car was discovered in a Nebraska farmer's backyard by a noted Pierce-Arrow collector and restored. In 1999, it was re-restored, and then again before the current owner acquired the car in 2010.
