1914 Pierce-Arrow Model 38-C Touring

This is a very original Pierce-Arrow 38-C3 vehicle that includes the tools and spare parts delivered with the car when new. Little is known about it other than it was sold new on June 6, 1914, by the Ellis Motoring Car Company of Newark, NJ.

1914 marked the first year for the trademark fender-mounted headlights and electric starters.

In its heyday, the Pierce-Arrow was the American equivalent of the Rolls-Royce and Pierce-Arrow offered a two-week training course for chauffeurs. In later years, Pierce-Arrow found its way into the White House garage. President Woodrow Wilson's garage housed four Pierce-Arrows including one used as his touring car.

The current owner acquired this vehicle in 2010 and has regularly entered it in HCCP and AACA tours.
