1916 Pierce-Arrow Model 48 Navigation
The 1917 Pierce-Arrow Model 48-B-4 was motivated by a large 525 cubic-inch T-head inline six-cylinder engine with hydraulic valve tappets and two valves per cylinder. This example wears seven-passenger touring coachwork finished in beige with black fenders. During the 2000s, it was given a restoration and acquired by its current caretaker in 2007. The new owner had the front hydraulic brakes removed, the rear end rebuilt with a new high-speed ratio, a 2nd set of spark plugs were moved to the opposite side of the engine block for a more complete ignition, and a double coil/distributor ignition was installed by Howard Lane.
The interior features period brass ringed gauges from Westinghouse and U.S Gauges Company, and a set of well-cushioned leather seats.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2023
