Pierce-Arrow Museum Buffalo N.Y

[squonk 43,731]

Went to the Pierce-Arrow museum in Buffalo as part of my father's day. This is a MUST SEE if you are ever in the area along with the Naval museum. They have about 30 cars in there now along with tons of memorabilia. They are building a gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the early days of motoring as one of the first modern stations. They are building on and have over 100 cars stored away to put in once it is finished. They hope to be done in a couple of years. Here are some pics:

My dad's 1933 Pierce Arrow back in 1962. We bought it in Boston in 1960 and drove it home to Rochester, NY. They were considerably cheaper back then.
