The history of this vehicle indicates that it has always been well-maintained, and it was restored to a very high standard during the mid-1980s by a Mr. Petri, of Buffalo, New York.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the correct wool broadcloth interior was fitted by the well-known firm of Mosher Interiors, of New York. The next owner acquired the Pierce in 1992 and retained it until the summer of 2006, when it was purchased by the current owner, who is a member of the Pierce-Arrow Society. Properly maintained, recently serviced, smooth-running, and tour-capable, this stately yet sporty example, with the distinctive Dawley headlights, also benefits from proper climate-controlled storage, and it will, without a doubt, provide a wonderful entry to any classic show.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1932-pierce-arrow-model-54\/1932_piercearrow_model541-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-207917\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-207917\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1932_PierceArrow_Model5411.jpg\" alt=\"1932_PierceArrow_Model541\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=2843&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=946057\">1932 Pierce-Arrow Model 54 Convertible Sedan<\/a> &#8211; did not sell for $88,000.\u00a0<\/b>At a cost of just over $3,400 in the trough of the painful Great Depression years, very few individuals could afford to enjoy the many delights of this sporting LeBaron-bodied Pierce-Arrow Convertible Sedan. Prior to joining the respected private automobile collection where it currently resides, noted collectors Richard and Linda Kughn owned this example between 1986 and 2003. Records indicate that the prior owner, Mr. Ralph B.
