In 1933, renowned American automaker Pierce-Arrow was acquired by a group of Buffalo-based bankers and businessmen who returned the marque to independent status. Engineering advancements, including the first use of hydraulic valve tappets, as well as the stunning Silver Arrow model, continued to demonstrate Pierce-Arrow’s engineering prowess. 1936 redesign, Pierce-Arrows were generally known for having their instrumentation and clocks gathered within a single binnacle positioned in the center of the dashboard. That changed dramatically. The new instrument layout grouped the major functional gauges in a large two-dial display directly ahead of the driver. To the left of the steering column (which was repositioned as a running change, with the steering box moved beneath the dashboard rather than ahead of the front axle, after a few dozen initial 1936 cars were built), a large speedometer reading to 120 MPH is installed. To the right, a similarly sized round gauge combines the functions of fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure and an ammeter. The steering column is faired into the bottom of the dash via a handsome, deeply chromed tunnel piece. One fascinating fillip was the presence of two bud-size lamps, their lenses cut in gemlike facets, between the main instrument dials. The 1936 Pierce-Arrow restyling included a very early version of quad headlamps, the main ones outboard atop the fender tips in typical Pierce fashion and smaller driving lamps on posts attached to the radiator shell. The color-coded jewel dash lamps told the driver which one of five available forward lighting combinations he or she had selected by activating foot or dash switches. The opposite side of the Pierce-Arrow dash newly accommodated a capacious glovebox with a full-size jeweled clock inset within its lid (one of two, incidentally; the second was set into the front seatback). At the midpoint of the dash is a lovely, Art Deco cast panel, with a circular crest in the center where an optional radio would ordinarily be fitted. Ringing the fluted panel are engraved knobs controlling the elaborate lighting system, wipers and the ignition key. It's lit from above by a tiny spotlight. Elegance abounds. Even with sales plunging-only 787 cars, total, found buyers in 1936-Pierce-Arrow remained solidly regal until the end. Today only 49 of these Iconic vehicles are said to exist. Terry866-733-4451
