1909 Pierce Arrow Model 48 Tourabout

In 1909 Pierce Arrow had become one of the highest quality and most exquisite automobile manufacturers in the world. Produced in Buffalo, New York these cars were purchased by some of the wealthiest and most important people all over the globe. They were of the highest quality and were incredibly substantial. The Model 48 was an upscale model produced by Piece and featured a massive 525 cubic inch T-Head six cylinder engine and four speed transmission. There are only four great and real model 48’s from 1909 that exist today.

Offered here is a great 1909 Model 48 Pierce Arrow tourabout that is just out of an estate where it has been for some time. It's a beautiful and very large, sporty car and a very good one as well. Previously owned by the very well known collector Don Meyer of New Jersey who had it for many years and before him it was in a collection in Florida in the 1950's and 1960's. It's one of only a few real and known 1909 model 48's in existence. It's listed in the book: "Pierce Arrow, The Golden Age" by Marc Ralston, car serial # 6935. It is a wonderful original car with a really nice restoration and very good history. The polished copper hood is really outstanding and the paint and upholstery is also beautiful. The engine was recently completely rebuilt and an electric starter was installed for easy starting and hydraulic brakes were installed for safety. It runs and drives great, a very powerful big 50HP six cylinder T-head. It has beautiful large Rushmore headlamps and beautiful side lamps as well as a Warner coke bottle with clock speedo setup. This is one of the most significant early Pierce Arrows in existence. To give an idea of size, it has a 130 inch wheelbase, it's impressive. The body is very nice and is correct as it was when it was new in 1909. Pierce Arrow actually referred to it as a four passenger roadster. Contact us today for more information.
