Hemmings Find of the Day – 1933 Pierce-Arrow

Certainly one of the more unique vehicles to cross the auction block at the upcoming Auctions America by RM auction in Auburn, Indiana, next month will be this 1933 Pierce-Arrow, fitted with a custom body for a cinematographer for on-location filming. Where exactly it was used isn’t stated in the auction description, and the “KZAK Radio” lettering on the side doesn’t seem to help much – there’s a UHF channel in Boise, Idaho, with those call letters, and there seems to be a college radio station in Reno, Nevada, that also uses those letters; we haven’t yet found any mention of historical usage of KZAK. From the auction description:

A fascinating vehicle; custom built for a cinematographer for location filming and reportedly once owned by Harrah’s. Aluminum driver’s compartment and van body, inline 8-cylinder Pierce engine, 4-speed, power brakes.
