1929 Pierce-Arrow Model 133 Coupe

In 1928, Pierce-Arrow merged with the Studebaker Corporation, saving it from bankruptcy, and for five years it was the fourth largest automotive conglomerate and FM, Ford and Chrysler. For 1929 Pierce-Arrow introduced the Model 133 and 143 – so named for the length in inches of their respective wheelbases. The L-head straight-8 engined cars boasted more modern styling while retaining the rather conservative look that customers expected. The majority of cars included the marque’s trademark fender-mounted headlights styled by Herbert Dawley.
