PIERCE ARROW

Pierce-Arrow's new moderately

represents the most striking style
change ever made by this pioneer
manufacturer, makes its formal
debut at the auto show today under
the direction of David s. Hendrick,

interest on this important member
of the fine car" group.
Various body typs OF this model
and also OF Pierce-ArroW' larger
car. the Series S6 Dual Valve Six,
are on exhibit both at the show
and at the Pierce-ArroW branch
mhowrooms.
Although much lower and longer
IN appearance, the new series 81
retains the 130.inch wheelbase which
was found to be so ideal for metro
politan conditions in its predecessor.
Its turning radius-shortes' than
many ears of lesser Iength-its
finger steering ease, its lively
but economical engine. represent as
great an engineering advance as
do the strides made in style.
Designed and built in the Pierce
Arrow plant by a group OF men
who during the past rs years have
created some OF the most luxurious
cars in the world, the bodies of the
Series ST combine custom distinc-
ton with quality workmanship.
Great strength is built into these
bodies by the use of northern white
ash framework, joined by triple
strength Eliminated joints and COW
cred by thick aluminium plates.
Such items as lustrous broadcloth
upholstery. velvet carpets and
fhiclSly plated silver hardware in
the inc1oSed cars and a special snake

The Series 81 bodies have been
considerably lowered without sacri-
flee in headroom. Other unusual
features include . unique visored
roof which arches from front to
rear without break; graceful air
plane tenders. new paneling and
moulding effects and q streamlined
apron at the rear OF the car which
conceals the running gear.
A notable group Of mechanical
improvements have been engineered
into the 130-inch wheeIbase chassis.
These improvements contribute to
performance results heretofore nm
approached, according to company
officials.
One OF the most interesting OF
the changes is found in the six
cylinder high compression engine.
