This was a very large, expensive car. Driving a Pierce-Arrow symbolized financial success. This one at the museum is unrestored. Some of the windows look as if they have been scorched by fire. No fire. This is actually an early attempt at making safety glass. Safety glass uses transparent plastic. But plastic hadn’t been invented in 1929. So the safety membrane in the glass was a derivative of a transparent soybean oil. However, being organic, the soybean material aged and discolored. The company also made utility trailers, camping trailers, motorcycles, and other items.
