1933 PIERCE-ARROW TWELVE CONVERTIBLE SEDAN

This 1933 Pierce-Arrow Twelve Convertible Sedan was one of America's prestigious luxury automobiles of its time. This rare example with exquisitely styled convertible sedan coachwork by LeBaron was once part of the massive John O'Quinn collection in Houston. Prior to that it was owned by and was fully restored in the late '90s by Pierce-Arrow historian Pat Craig. The restoration showcases a color choice of light green with light gray-green feature lines, accents and artillery wheels that suit the LeBaron body. The elegant exterior is contrasted by a finished tan ostrich leather interior. Other features include a pair of Pilot Ray driving lamps and dual side-mount spares fitted with body-color covers, topped with correct Pierce-Arrow mirrors. And, of course, the Kneeling Archer mascot sits atop the front chrome grille. Beautifully finished woodwork graces the door caps, ashtray covers and dash, while the instrument panel features a full array of original, restored instruments. The engine is finished in the correct colors and is properly detailed with period-correct hoses, fittings, and hardware. Power comes from the factory original 175hp, 462ci L-head V12 engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. It also has 4-wheel leaf spring suspension, solid front axle, live rear axle and 4-wheel drum brakes. This Pierce-Arrow was displayed and judged at the 2010 Paris-Deauville Concours d'Etat FFVE, where it was awarded First Place for Class B vehicles, and has also won Best Restoration at the 2013 Automobile Club Cannes Cote d'Azur Concours d'Elegance. This Twelve is one of as few as three examples remaining in existence, according to the current Pierce-Arrow Society Register. Accompanying documents include a FIVA Identity Card, issued in April 2015 (No. 053287).
