The Pierce Silver Arrow was a concept car produced by American luxury automaker Pierce-Arrow in 1933. Designed by Phillip O. Wright, it was introduced at the 1933 New York Auto Show. Five were built in a record three months.[citation needed][clarification needed]
History
The car caused an absolute sensation, with a modern flowing design, spare wheels hidden behind the front wheels, a wide-degree angle V-12, and top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h). Five production models were built, but they resembled a more typical Pierce-Arrow and lacked many of the unique features shown in New York.[further explanation needed] Only three Silver Arrows exist today.
