Pierce-Arrow is widely regarded as one of America’s finest automobile manufacturers. The Series 33 debuted in 1919 and served as their entry level model for the 1920s, being renamed the Model 36 in 1928. Pierce pioneered the use of aluminum components and multi-valve engines, yet waited until 1920 to move the steering wheel to the left side. This example features Pierce trademark, fender-mounted headlights, flanking a grill trimmed in German silver. The body appears to be custom-built. Originally owned by Paramount Studios, it was used to carry film actress Marlene Dietrich to and from her home in the Hollywood Hills. Beautifully restored by Ron Bissett in honor of his father, a former Pierce dealer, the car received an award at the 1999 Concours d’Elegance in Pebble Beach, CA.
