This 1930 Pierce-Arrow Model A Seven Passenger Sedan is beautifully restored! The engine was  rebuilt by the Pierce-Arrow guru Eric Rosenau, a master craftsman and Pierce-Arrow specialist.  The Model “A” was Pierce-Arrow’s biggest and most powerful car in 1930, with 385 cubic inches ( 3.5″ bore by 5 ” stroke) to achieve a whopping 132 factory horsepower!  The wheelbase was 144 inches hub to hub,  which gave plenty of space for a long hood and a spacious interior.

The traditional Pierce-Arrow fender mounted headlamps, the sweeping fenderline, the sidemounts and wire wheels, and generous proportions all combine to make this a beautiful and elegant classic. The restoration quality is very high, resulting in a Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) national first place trophy.

Note the Stoneshield for the radiator, another great accessory. The Pierce-Arrow Archer is also included!
