Although known for its expensive luxury cars, Pierce-Arrow also manufactured commercial trucks, fire trucks, camp trailers, motorcycles, and bicycles. In 1909, U.S. In 1928, the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana, gained control of the company. Under Studebaker's ownership, Pierce-Arrow retired the venerable 6-cylinder engine and in 1929 introduced an L-head eight engine. The bodies were comprised of cast-aluminum and throughout the vehicle only the finest materials could be found. The vehicles pioneered the use of power brakes and hydraulic tappets. They were elegant, powerful, reliable, and mechanically advanced. The designs were equally advanced. Pierce was the only luxury brand that did not field a lower-priced car and since it was priced at $3,350 in 1935, (A Ford Model 48 was $535) during the worst of the Depression, the rich were hesitant to spend so much. This 1935 Pierce-Arrow Model 845, 7 Passenger has a 400 cubic-inch inline eight cylinder engine that produces 140 horsepower, Its three-speed manual gearbox sends power to the rear wheels while the four-wheel mechanical brakes provide the stopping power.
