The eight-cylinder Model 840A sat neatly in the middle of Pierce-Arrow’s lineup between the mid-market 836A and the flagship, twelve-cylinder 1240/1250 A.

Due to financial constraints in the early 1930s, Pierce-Arrow was late to the party with their L-head engine design, sticking to their trusty T-Head sixes long after the competition had moved on.
