A highlight of the valvetrain included twin sets of exhaust and intake valves which is why the engine is sometimes reffered to as the &#8216;Dual Valve Six&#8217;. It offered 48 horsepower which sent power to the rear wheels through a cone-type clutch and four-speed manual transmission.<\/p>\n<p>During it&#8217;s introduction, Pierce offered 14 different factory body styles on the 48 chassis. Most of the cars were delivered with Pierce&#8217;s fender-moulded headlights, but cars delivered in Pierce&#8217;s home state of New York we forced to used detachable units.<\/p>\n<p>Story by Supercars.net<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1909_PierceArrow_Model481.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1909_PierceArrow_Model481.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"1913\u21921918 Pierce-Arrow Model 48\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1909_PierceArrow_Model481.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1909_PierceArrow_Model481-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1909_PierceArrow_Model481-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1909_PierceArrow_Model481-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1909_PierceArrow_Model481-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1909_PierceArrow_Model481-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1909_PierceArrow_Model481-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<h3>In Detail<\/h3>\n<table class=\"cardetails\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">type<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">Series Production Car<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"label\" align=\"left\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"30%\">production years<\/td>\n<td class=\"value\" align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"70%\">1913 &#8211;

sold for $852,500.\u00a0<\/b>The car is correct in all important respects, as it was reportedly restored from an excellent original car, with only its front fenders requiring correct replication. It is equipped with acetylene headlamps and an oil tail lamp, as well as a correct Pierce-Arrow muffler and electric self-starting system, and it has a wonderful charm and patina of age about it. Its brass trim and paint have a rich, deep shine, but the interior is lightly worn and beginning to crack around the edges, while the chassis has a well-used but tidy appearance. Overall, it appears as it is: an automobile that has been enjoyed on tours by its owners for decades and one that is ready for continued travels with the HCCA and VMCCA in events such as the Glidden Tour.\u00a0<b>Auction Source: <\/b><a class=\"copy-paste-block\" href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/3227\/1.html\">Paul &amp; Chris Andrews Collection by RM Sotheby&#8217;s<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1913%e2%86%921918-pierce-arrow-model-48\/1072399-1024\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-207717\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-207717 size-full\" title=\"1913\u21921918 Pierce-Arrow Model 48\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1072399-1024.jpg\" alt=\"1913\u21921918 Pierce-Arrow Model 48\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\"><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=5013&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=1072399\">1915 Pierce-Arrow Model 48 Seven-Passenger Suburban 13304<\/a> &#8211; sold for $159,500.<\/b> An Exceptional Example of the Model 48 Pierce-Arrow.
