Exceptional Condition | Rare Open Pierce-Arrow | CCCA Full Classic

Offered here is an outstanding 1929 Pierce-Arrow Model 133 with desirable tonneau shield, a rare and highly collectible Classic Era automobile presented in exceptional condition. The Model 133 represents a pivotal chapter in Pierce-Arrow history, introducing the marque's first inline eight-cylinder engine while preserving the refinement and craftsmanship for which the company was renowned.

This example stands out not only for its elegant specification but also for its remarkable presentation. It is believed that approximately only ten Model 133 examples remain in existence today, making this an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire one of Pierce-Arrow's most exclusive open models.

Model & Mechanical

The Model 133 is powered by a 365.6 cubic-inch L-head inline eight-cylinder engine producing 125 horsepower, paired with a three-speed manual transmission. The chassis features a solid front axle, live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, and four-wheel mechanical brakes. The 133-inch wheelbase provides excellent ride quality and commanding road presence.

The car performs as well as it presents, delivering smooth, confident power and refined road manners suitable for touring and Classic Era events.

Exterior & Coachwork

The open body with desirable tonneau shield adds both visual distinction and added comfort for rear passengers. The body and paint are in fantastic condition, reflecting a high-quality restoration that has been exceptionally well maintained. Panel fit is excellent, finishes are consistent, and the overall presentation is striking.

Well-equipped with period accessories, including:

Iconic Pierce-Arrow archer mascot
Painted wire wheels
Wide whitewall tires
Dual side-mounted spare wheels
Dual driving lights
Dual horns
Wind wings
Canvas-covered rear trunk
Brightwork remains equally impressive and complements the elegant cream-and-black presentation.

Interior

The interior matches the exterior in overall quality and condition. Upholstery presents beautifully with minimal wear, and the cabin retains the substantial, dignified character expected of a Pierce-Arrow. Interior trim, instrumentation, and fittings are all in excellent order, creating a cohesive and authentic Classic Era environment.

Rear passengers benefit from the desirable tonneau shield, enhancing comfort during extended touring.
