Pierce Arrow

[salinen]

I must again tell the story of the Pierce Arrow Motor Company. Pierce Arrow made first class, handmade, top-notch engineered, beautiful automobiles made right here in America. Then the depression hit. There were still plenty of rich folks around that could afford Pierce Arrows. One problem with Pierce was in their advertizing. They depicted the upper crust, flushed from a round of badmitton, with the a chauffer holding the door. That didn't sit well with people without jobs or opportunity. So people started throwing bricks at Pierce Arrows. They went bankrupt.

Hey did you here that an oil exec just cashed out for 400 mil? And did you know that gas at the pumps will be $4 next week?

I am going to invest my money in bricks.

Aviators?

4. 400 mil

...AND a company car for life.

Holy fuck. The bastard is getting 400 mil & still wants a company car.

Their greed is beyond comprehension.

Where did this version of Pierce-Arrow's history come from?

7. Ballantine's Illustrated History of the car

marque book no. 4

I embellished it a bit. A guy who own's a car memorobilia shop told me about the bricks.
