Why were the several bottom sections removed from a previous posting, appeared to happen around July 12, 2008, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.44.136.113 (talk) 21:02, 16 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Information on Studebaker Added

edit

I've taken the liberty of adding in information regarding Pierce Arrow's relationship with Studebaker to the article, along with an image of a 1932 Pierce Arrow sedan. I hope the information is welcome. user: stude62 user talk:stude62 18:08, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

New Information to be Added

edit

There is a revival of the Pierce-Arrow brand by Luigi Colani. Avoiding "bias," it may be a good idea to create a separate page for "Piece-Arrow by Colani," since it has been a 70 year hiatus and the styling is so different.

Agreed—this will be a Pierce-Arrow in name only, with no connection to the past other than conspicuous extravagance! And what a time to be introducing a 24-cylinder gas guzzler! However, development of a separate article can surely await the eventuation of some genuine substance from the words and images on the new site. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 05:11, 13 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

The above link is dead. Guess nothing ever developed from it. Jororo05 (talk) 17:31, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Erros in Picture Legends

edit

/* 1903–1927 */ 2nd car pictured in the 1903-1927 chapter is obviously not a Town Car but a Touring Car. These had open bodies while Town Car had an enclosed passenger compartment and an open driver compartment (also called "Sedanca" or "Coupé de Ville". The car pictured as "1922 Pierce-Arrow" Picture was taken at the 2006 Bay State Antique Automobile Club Vintage show. This club does list the car built in 1927 (http://www.bsaac.com/cars.html). This year looks more appropriate for the Coupe body's lines than 1922. --Chief tin cloud (talk) 09:17, 6 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

This just isn't true ("Early History")

edit

"Thirty-three cars entered the 1100-mile race from New York City to Bretton Woods, New Hampshire..." No part of New Hampshire is "1100 miles" from New York City. Even driving from Erie, PA (crossing nearly the whole STATE of New York), the farthest point in NH is only about 650 miles. I know nothing about the "endurance race" cited, so I'm not going to fix it. Just pointing out what seemed a glaring misstatement. Jororo05 (talk) 17:38, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
