This Pierce-Arrow Model 31 was completed in 1919 and the engine was completed and installed the following year. It has its original cast aluminum body, fenders, and hood, plus the original lights. It was owned by a rancher in the Central California Valley for many years and sold around 2007 to Patrick Craig. A full frame-up restoration soon followed, including a complete engine and drive train rebuild. The exterior was done in period-correct green over a brown leather interior. It has a full set of custom side curtains, along with the 'California Side Curtains.'
After the restoration was complete, the car was enjoyed by the current owner for many years, participating in various events and winning 'The People's Choice Award' on several Nickel Age and HCCA tours in Oregon, Nevada, and California. The car also participated in, and won, awards at multiple concours, including Hillsborough and Palo Alto in Northern California.
In 2016, the five-passenger tourer received additional renovation work, including a major tune-up of the engine. Also, the steering box was removed and rebuilt with all newly manufactured gears and bearings. New brakes were installed, and the radiator was updated with a modern core and period false façade.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2019
