Pierce Arrow Silver Arrow
The Pierce Silver Arrow (also known as the 1933 Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow) is a luxury automobile produced by the American automaker Pierce-Arrow in 1933. Designed by stylist Phillip O. Wright as a futuristic car, it was unveiled at the New York Auto Show in January 1933 and later exhibited at the Chicago Century of Progress World's Fair. Only five examples were hand-built, each priced at $10,000 roughly equivalent to three or four suburban homes at the time. The Silver Arrow is widely regarded as one of the most influential and forward-looking American car designs of the prewar era, often described by Pierce-Arrow as "the car of 1940 in 1933." Despite its radical styling, the Silver Arrow was constructed on a production Pierce-Arrow V12 chassis and used the company's most powerful engine. Three of the five original cars are known to survive today.
