[isdntekvideo] . This Pierce-Arrow was the height of luxury and refinement in 1922. . Note the Pierce-Arrow trademark, the headlamps faired into the fenders, and the trunk that matches the curve of the rear fender! . Biflex bumper in nickel plating, and nickel headlight rims and radiator shell. It has the correct honeycomb core radiator, and on my photo drive on a hot day it cooled the car admirably. . . Excellent! . . Very nice engine bay. Note the cast aluminum fan blade - looks like an aircraft propeller! . Also note the priming cups. Back when this car was new, the gasoline was very poor, and low octane, so Pierce-Arrow provided a number of features to help the car fire up in cold weather - including a pressure feed of gasoline directly to the intake manifold! It's visible mounted to the center of the manifold, controlled by a knob on the dashboard. There was also exhaust heat ported through the block to a section of the carburetor! . Here's the passenger sid, showing the 3 piece exhaust manifold in porcelain. We recently tuned this car up, with new spark plugs, condensors, point cleaning and a carburetor adjustment to factory specifications. The result is a car that starts easily cold or warm, and drives nicely! . Also note the bronze water pump housing. It works great and doesn't leak! This shot also shows the Pierce-Delco generator, with the original bakelite knobs to secure the wires. . the aluminum housing surrounding the exhaust manifold is the heat stove for the carburetor. Today, most of the Pierce-Arrow guys close off the heat tube that goes through the block, since today's gasoline is so much more volatile than the old 66 Octane stuff available in 1922! . The interior is properly done in striped wool broadcloth, and looks great! . The right side seat folds forward for access to the rear seat . Excellent interior trim pieces . Excellent "Pierce" side mount mirrors . Excellent dashboard! . Excellent black runningboards . Pedestrians beware of this great Pierce Hood Ornamanent! . Excellent original headlamp lenses . This is a great feature, the combination courtesy lamp and vent! There's a corresponding vent outlet on the roof. This car was made for when people wore hats and smoked cigars as a matter of course! . excellent wood spoke wheels with 33X5 tires. . A great looking, great running full CCCA Classic Automobile!
