Pierce-Arrow Model 41

The Pierce-Arrow Model 41 maintained the marque's reputation for quality and innovation during difficult economic times. Its signature fender-mounted headlamps became an iconic design element copied by many others. Pierce-Arrow remained independent until 1933, competing directly with Packard and Cadillac with superior build quality. The Model 41's 366 cubic inch engine delivered smooth, quiet power befitting a luxury automobile favored by presidents and business leaders.
