1931 Pierce-Arrow Model 42 Navigation
The current owner of this Pierce-Arrow acquired it in December of 2000 from Hollis G. 'Duke' Davenport, who is believed to have purchased it from Owen Stevens, who in turn had purchased the car from a G. Lagueux of Quebec in Canada.
This Pierce-Arrow is believed to be in original and complete condition. It has a secondary windshield and its 366 cubic-inch L-head inline-8 cylinder engine uses a single Updraft Stromberg carburetor to produce 125 horsepower at 3,000 RPM. There is a four-speed manual transmission, four-wheel Bendix mechanical drum brakes, and a leaf spring suspension.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2022
