After this morning’s post on the Kaiser articulated bus, another bus seemed appropriate for the Hemmings Find of the Day, thus we’ve picked this 1919 Pierce-Arrow inter-city 17-passenger bus. From the seller’s description:
This 1919 Model is believed to have run between Wallace and Burke Idaho and was given a complete restoration by Ron Fawcett before being featured as one of the many examples of Pierce-Arrow vehicles at the 2001 celebration of the marques 100th anniversary in Buffalo New York. It is documented both with as-found photographs and a complete photo record of the restoration. Featuring varnished wooden spoke wheels Druss Air Springs shackles Pierces trademark fender-mounted headlights dual sidemounted spares a luggage rack and a black leatherette covered fixed roof its design is complemented by a raked windshield with quarter windows a linoleum covered floor and aluminum trim. The wooden body was completely redone with two seats on one side of the aisle and one on the other plus a full-width rear seat. Every other side window cranks open for ventilation. The five rows of original-style seats are upholstered in leather and the radiator shell is nickel plated. It is a full and impressive restoration to show quality and is supplied with its original 4-cylinder engine and 4-speed transmission but has been fitted for easier driving and parade use with a late model small block Ford V-8 automatic transmission and a set of disc brakes.
