Polished instruments of beauty and precision, the high-priced models always draw the most pop-eyed crowds. Pierce-Arrow last year exhibited a special fully streamlined model called "Silver Arrow." This year nearly all Pierce-Arrows are Silver Arrows-in varying degrees. In its line of eights and two lines of twelves are models for every taste in streamlining, as well as strictly conventional models for the strictly conventional...
