1914 Pierce-Arrow Model 48 Touring

Peerless, Packard, and Pierce-Arrow were the famous 'Three Ps' in America's automotive history; they were the premiere automobile manufacturers of their day, each known for quality, reliability, and performance. They were all expensive and many models sold for more than ten times the price of a Model T Ford. Pierce-Arrow began building one-cylinder automobiles in 1901, and in 1907 it introduced its first six-cylinder motor car. The Pierce-Arrow-designed, T-head, 6-cylinder engine became a Pierce-Arrow trademark and was used up until 1928. Pierce-Arrows were also known for its cast aluminum bodies and its trademark front fenders that were designed to incorporate fender-mounted headlamps, which were first introduced in 1913 and continued to be used until the company's demise in 1938.

This car, with its polished brass trim, was originally bought by a Philadelphia doctor before it was acquired by Bill Harrah. Restored by its current owners in 1987, the car has traveled all over the world on many tours and rallies. On a recent road trip in 2019, it traveled from Salinas, CA to Yosemite National Park.
