PIERCE-ARROW TWELVE!!


Blog by Gmy.

Origin by USA
First manufactured in Year 1932 until 1938
Engine installed 6.5 I (398 cis), 7.0 I (426 cid) sidevalve V12

The Twelves set many speed & endurance records, reaching 115mph (185km/h)

Build quality was so good that a number of Pierce-Arrows were converted into rail cars - effectively trucks or buses that ran on railway tracks - & the nickname for these strange hybrids was 'Galloping Goose' after their speedy progress & honking horns.
