AI Listing Summary

This 1928 Pierce-Arrow Model 81 Runabout is a CCCA Full Classic that was part of The Richard & Linda Kughn Collection. It features a period-correct cream and black color scheme, well-preserved interior, and an inline six-cylinder engine. The car was previously owned by an enthusiast and won an AACA Senior National First Prize in 1976, but it no longer has its original serial number tag.

Condition 

8

The car is described as being in a lovely, period-correct cream with black fenders and green door saddles that match its painted wire wheels, and it is equipped with a proper canvas folding top, a radiator stone guard, “Archer” mascot, dual side-mounted spares, and wide whitewall tires. Wonderful details show in its well-preserved button-tufted brown leather upholstery and the rich interior woodwork, including a steering wheel and dashboard containing Waltham gauges that are free from cracks and wear. It won an AACA Senior National First Prize winner in 1976. This indicates that the car is in excellent condition with a condition rating of 8.
