From Amazing Classic Cars...
1934 Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow
Flowing aerodynamic lines and a dramatic fastback roofline made this limited production coupe one of the most striking luxury automobiles of the 1930s.
Born from the success of Pierce-Arrow's sensational 1933 Silver Arrow show cars, the production version adapted the streamlined concept with more conventional features while retaining the sleek silhouette.
Available with either eight or twelve-cylinder powerplants, the Silver Arrow rode on Pierce-Arrow's longest 144-inch wheelbase. The eight-cylinder variant featured a 385 cubic inch L-head inline engine producing 140 horsepower, paired with a three-speed manual transmission.
Pierce-Arrow built approximately 40 production Silver Arrows in 1934 before the company declared bankruptcy in August of that year. Survivors are extremely rare, with only a handful of eight-cylinder examples known today.
The Silver Arrow represented Pierce-Arrow's final attempt to compete with luxury rivals like Packard and Cadillac during the depths of the Great Depression.
