1912 Pierce-Arrow Model 48 Navigation
Pierce-Arrow motorcars were introduced in 1901 and by the time this car was built, the company had achieved what would be a lasting reputation as a manufacturer of top-of-the-line motorcars. The company's offices and manufacturing facilities were located in Buffalo, New York.
This motorcar retains its original touring body, which is cast aluminum. (Pierce-Arrow pioneered the use of aluminum.) It is built on a 134.5-inch wheelbase chassis and is powered by a T-head motor (cylinders cast-in-pairs) that develops 48 horsepower.
Pierce-Arrows were expensive. This car sold for approximately $5,000 new in 1912. Not surprisingly, the production of these cars was low; a total of 1,453 cars were sold by Pierce-Arrow in 1912.
