The company started in 1901 and became pierce-arrow in 1909. In the 1920's it was part of the 3 "P" for prestigious automobiles: Peerless, Pierce-arrow and Packard. In 1928, it came under Studebaker and changed again to Pierce-Arrow in 1933. The production was declining so a change was needed. It came in 1934 with the new Silver-Arrow, designed by Phillip Wright, with rounded body lines. This new design included many automobile firsts. Due to financial difficulties, only 1740 cars were made in 1934, a few of them exist today. The firm stopped production in 1938. - Area Notes
