Presented here is a stunning Model 48 4 passenger roadster 1919 Piece Arrow with a custom body by Don Lee. The car was previously owned and restored by a world renowned marque specialist and as such both presents itself as beautifully as it operates. The massive 48 horsepower 525 cubic inch T head twin plug 24 valve engine is an early engineering marvel to watch in action with its exposed valve springs, shaft driven oiling system and much more. Operating this vehicle is a process equally fascinating as you slide behind the steering wheel manually pressurizing the fuel system with the dash mounted hand pump takes a minute or two and once you reach the required fuel pressure, set your spark advance, turn on the ignition and press the starter button and the big 6 fires up then settles quickly into a whisper quiet idle. Engage the traditionally operated transmission with its H pattern 4 speeds forward shifter and traditional pedal arrangement including clutch and you are under way. The torque of the massive engine makes for minimal shifts and the car easily keeps pace on modern day roads. The details seen throughout this car are impressive, from the 35×5 inch tires on spoked wheels to the clock mounted in the rear for passengers it is an incredible car with a lot of presence. An exquisite car which can be used to show or driven and enjoyed, Pierce Arrows remain a popular car for road rallys for any number of reasons from driveability to reliability and this car is no exception to this rule. It truly is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire one of the most interesting cars to come from the early 20th century.
