present this CCCA recognized Pierce Arrow 2 door sedan. Our local
market has been very kind to us lately by producing some really
fine example Pierce Arrows such as our current 1934 Pierce Arrow
1240A that we have for sale and now this stunning 1925 Model 80
Five-passenger Two Door Coach as well as two other Pierce Arrow
models. We acquired the car from long term ownership out of the
small town of Newburg Missouri and is fitted with some really neat
period correct goodies such as a external sun visor, column mounted
radio and an original Kamlee trunk mounted on the back! The
Pierce-Arrow was built in Buffalo, New York from 1901 until 1938.
It was one of the most revered and prestigious automobiles to grace
the American road. The Series 80 Runabout was a very large car with
a wheelbase that measured 130 inches. It was also finished with a
high degree of quality typical of the Buffalo automaker. It wore a
hand-hammered aluminum body which covered a white ash frame. Under
the hood was the durable, smooth-running straight six which
displaced 288 cubic-inches and offered 70 horsepower. Finished in a
very handsome two-tone green exterior, the paint and trim are in
overall excellent condition. The car's glass panels are clear and
intact while its lights, the fluted headlights and driver's
side-only taillights, are in very good order. This Pierce rolls on
dark green wood spoke artillery wheels with Goodrich 6.00-22 tires
around them. In addition, there's a rear-mounted spare and manual
driver's side windshield wiper. All of the car's body panels are
straight and solid, including the external sun visor and the
rubberized roof that were so common on vehicles of that era. There
is an external Kamlee trunk with fitted luggage for cargo storage,
the engine bay is tidy and the bumpers are in very good order.
Inside, the tan cloth seats in near-excellent overall condition,
while the carpet is in good shape. The headliner is in decent order
while the instrument panel looks very good. The oil pressure, amp
and speedometer gauges function but the odometer is inoperable.
There's a four-spoke wood steering wheel for the driver, the inner
door panels, mirror glass and shifter are all in good condition. On
the steering column, a unique radio dial is mounted for a period
correct tube radio with a speaker mounted under the dash. In the
mid-1920's Pierce-Arrow expanded it's product line to appeal to a
larger market. In late 1924, the Series 80�was introduced. The
Series 80 was Pierce-Arrow's entry into the upper-mid priced field,
competing with the six-cylinder Packard. The cars maintained the
traditional quality ideals of Pierce-Arrow, but in a smaller, less
complex design. The initial response was quite good. Selling in the
$3000 - $4000 range, the Series 80 put the Pierce-Arrow prestige
within reach of a new market. At the time the Series 80 was
introduced, the Pierce-Arrow Finance Corporation was organized,
allowing customers to buy a Pierce-Arrow on installment payments.
(Purchased from income rather than capital, as their advertisements
phrased it). Under the hood is the durable, smooth-running straight
six which displaces 288 cubic-inches and offers 70 horsepower with
a steel block that was cast in one unit, mounted on an aluminum
crankcase. A Stewart vacuum tank supplies fuel to the Pierce
carburetor.�Four-wheel brakes and Houdaille hydraulic shock
absorbers were standard equipment. Pierce-Arrow advertised fuel
economy of 14-17 miles per gallon from the 18-gallon tank.�One
aspect of quality control that Pierce Arrow was known for was their
extensive engine testing. Each engine was run in, disassembled,
inspected, reassembled and tested again. Before the car left the
factory for delivery, another inspector personally test-drove it.
The body also underwent similar tests and inspections. Competition
to this Pierce-Arrow in 1925 included Cadillac's V-63 Series Coach,
Lincoln's L-Series, Marmon's 74 Series Brougham Coupe, Packard's
Series 6 Club Sedan and Peerless' 67 Series Coupe. This car is
currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current
mileage on the odometer shows 5,784 (not actual) miles. It is sold
as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt Repossessed
Missouri title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! VIN: 808184 Note: Please see
