Back in the late 70’s, there was one of those hanging in an antique shop nearby.
I remember, they wanted $10,000 for it.
It was in all original 8+ condition.
I tried to get my Dad to buy it.
He did go over there with me to take a look at it, but since you could buy a brand new car for about $5,000 at the time, he decided that he could live without it.
He did think it was cool, and he thought about it for a minute.
To this day, that was the nicest Pierce 4,
I have ever seen.

Neat story I can totally understand lots of cash back then.
I am so excited to have this in my collection.

Great motorbike! I'd have that in my living room also. Nice work.

Pretty sure they were Pierce Motorcycles, not pierce arrow.
Just like the bicycles, Pierce Cycles.

At least that is what Geo. Pierce called the companies.

Very cool! Right were it belongs as well, in the living room.
