I was a member of the Pierce Arrow Society for quite a while some years ago. I used to love their publication and all of the access to archives. That in my opinion was the ultimate in American built luxury cruising. Since Pierce Arrow didn't survive the depression, the memory faded, and Rolls became king.

Subject: Re: IML: Question of the Day
Well, THAT is quite a list. You have a broad range of interest!
I had heard of Stanley only through the Classic Car magazines and I haven't heard mention of a Pierce Arrow in a very long time.

That is one of those fun what if questions. I must say Joe, I would probably fill up this e-mail with a huge list, but in order to keep it as short as possible, here is my wish list if I had a huge wallet and just as huge of a warehouse space:
Stuff most of us are familiar with:
* Any Imperial from 1960 to 1972 with emphasis on some favorites like the Mobile Directors, Ghias, and Le Barons.
* Any Chrysler product from 1956 to 1962.
* Any Pierce Arrow from 1910 to 1935.
* Any Duesenberg from 1932-34.
* Any Packard from 1930 to 1940 with a special interest in the 1940 Darrin.
* Any Cadillac from 1930 to 1970. But in particular the 57-58 Edorado Brougham, and any one built in the even years of the 60's.
* Any 4 door convertible Lincoln from 1962 to 1964. And a particular interest in the 1941 Continental, 1956-57 Mark II, and 1968-70 Mark III.
* Any station wagon built between 1960 and 1972. In
particular the early 60's Chrysler wagons and the 71 72 Oldsmobile Custom Cruisers.
* 1963-64 and 71-72 Buick Rivieras.
* 1960 Pontiac Catalina.
Muscle cars:
(Not too many, there are too many other nice cars out there that need attention)
* Any AMC muscle car, in particular SC Rambler and The Machine.
* 1970 Dodge Challenger
* Any Chrysler 300, faavorites are the 59, 61, and 69 300H.

Stuff most of us may not be familiar with:
* 1908-1915 Stanley

Tow vehicle:
A nicely restored 70's Dodge or Plymouth van with the prerequisite
fish eye window in the back.
And a Wells Cargo trailer painted to match.
