End of the dream . . . twice. (pic)

As Buffalo, NY, Pierce Arrow was ending production, the 1937 sedan was teamed with their new Travelodge. There was no market for either, and the company closed in 1938. After Pierce Arrow failed, Seagrave bought the tooling to manufacture the Pierce V-12 engines for their fire trucks.

Brooklin issued this pair in 1:43 scale a while back. I wish I had them.

Thanks for the pictures of the 1/1 car and trailer. I have the Brooklin models and they are beautiful.
