July 21, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 13 New Pierce-Arrow Cars Will Be Sold at Reduced Prices Price reductions ranging as much as $600 on its latest series of motor cars, will be announced tomorrow by the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car company. The reduction will establish a group of factory prices which range as low as $2,475 for one of the five-passenger closed models. This move brings Pierce-Arrow prices to the lowest in history and is in accordance with Pierce-Arrow's policy of increasing its sales volume by a material expansion of its market. The entire Series 81 line, the 130-inch wheelbase Pierce-Arrow which was re- cently placed on the market, will be affected by the reductions. Price changes on the individual models are as follows: 7-Passenger enclosed drive limousine, whose factory price is reduced from $3,550 to $2,950; 7-passenger sedan, re- duced from $3,450 to $2,850; converti- ble coupe reduced from $3,450 to $2,- 950; 4-passenger coupe reduced from $3,450 to $2,950; S-passenger sedan re- duced from $3,350 to $2,750; 2-passen- ger coupe reduced from $3,350 to $2,- 750; 4-passenger touring reduced from $3,100 to $2,700; runabout reduced from $2900 to $2,600, and 5-passenger club brougham reduced from $2,750 to $2,475. The new Series 81 is regarded by automotive authorities as one of the finest and best performing automobiles in the world today. The chassis carries a notable group of engineering improvements, chief among them being a high compression engine of great power, acceleration and hill climbing ability. A chassis lubri- cation system of decided merit, four wheel safety brakes, and extraordin- ary ease of handling and steering are found among the refinements incor- porated into the Series 81 chassis. The bodies of the new Series 81 com- bine custom distinction with quality workmanship, since all Pierce-Arrow bodies are built by a group of men who during the past 25 years created some of the most luxurious bodies in the world. Northern white ash, conceded by body builders everywhere to be the strongest and best of woods for the framework of an automobile body, is used exclusively in the Series 81 and is covered by thick plates of aluminum. Such items as lustrous broadcloth upholstery, thick velvet carpets and richly plated silver hardware in the enclosed cars, and a special grain leather in the open cars are indica- tive of the fineness of detail.
