1909 Oakland Model 40 Touring Chassis no. 1576 Engine no. 331318.1 cu in, BiBloc Inline 4-Cylinder EngineSingle CarburetorApprox. 40hp 3-Speed Manual Transmission Front, Semi-Elliptic Leaf Spring, Rear, Fully Elliptic Leaf Spring Suspension Rear-Wheel Drum Brakes* Early Pontiac, Michigan built automobile* One of only 4 of the early Oakland cars to survive* Potentially a usable and affordable touring carTHE OAKLAND MODEL 40 For more information on the history of the Oakland Motor Car Company please see lot 521 in this auction. As elaborated there, the model that really got the company off and running was this, the 'Forty'. A proud advertising campaign played strongly on its virtues and the value that it offered, its text succinctly sums up the details, under the heading 'The Oakland is the answer to the man who says 'Show Me'. The pitch reads 'It is a good, old-fashioned American habit, whether buying a cigar or a ten thousand dollar house to look into things a little before spending your money and see that you are paying not one cent more than is necessary. You select an automobile for what it is and for what it will do.' It asked 'Why should you pay from 50 to 100 per cent more for a car that will do no more than the Oakland 'Forty'?' This continues 'It has a forty horsepower motor with cylinders cars in pairs, 112-inch wheel base, seats five people without touching elbows, and in every little appointment is luxurious and easy-riding.' 'Light weight, 2,000 lbs., means low cost of maintenance. Big 34-inch wheels, 4-inch tires, steel I-beam axles – nothing cheap about the Oakland – simplicity of construction and scientific manufacturing system alone can account for the phenomenally low price.' 'This is a car you want to buy, and if you are an agent, it is a car you want to sell' The Oakland Motor Car Co. was absorbed into William Durant's General Motors conglomerate in 1909, providing for the company the financial resources it needed to develop its range of cars. The four-cylinder cars were marketed as 'The Car with a Conscience' and the radiators carried the distinctive oak leaf and acorn emblem.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDThe Two Generations collection houses two key products from the incubatory period of Oakland, their original two-cylinder car and its successor the four-cylinder Model 40 which was key the foundation of the brand. Of the four surviving Oaklands in the HCCA roster two live in this collection, another prominent exponent of these cars was Robert Roughton of Virginia Beach, from whom this car was acquired in 2017. There was always a penchant for red cars in this collection, as can be seen on these catalogue pages, so this larger Oakland would have appealed strongly to these owners and matches the schemes of the Palmer-Singer, Pierce-Arrow and others in the stable. In this case, the red coachwork is contrasted with black painted beads to the fenders and its black button back leather upholstery. A cursory viewing of the car shows it to be well appointed with a period head and sidelamp set and nice detail features such as its 'Automatic Folding Windshield', which claims to be operational single handedly, another clever piece of design is for the Clutch and Brake to be cast into their respective pedals, surely in those days there were still a few people getting the hang of these arrangements. Clearly an older restoration, and likely needing some recommissioning, this Oakland Forty is nonetheless an honest and relatively affordable Brass Era touring car, much as it was when they sold new.

1911 Pierce-Arrow Model 36-UU Touring Car Chassis no. 12133 Engine no. 32325 (see text)475ci T-Head Inline 6-Cylinder Engine40bhp (Rated)4-Speed TransmissionFront, Semi-Elliptic Leaf Spring, Rear, Three-Quarter Elliptic Leaf SpringRear-Wheel Mechanical Drum Brakes*Example of famed Pierce-Arrow high quality automobile*A proven tour car*Nice older restorationTHE PIERCE-ARROW MOTOR CAR CO.Pierce-Arrow had cemented its reputation for performance and reliability when the Pierce Great Arrow won all five of the famed Glidden Tours in 1905-1909 while achieving perfect scores in all but one of them.Both to retain its high standards and to facilitate its continuing innovation and refinement, Pierce-Arrow closely controlled all aspects of construction including coachwork for which most other luxury marques relied upon outside coachbuilders. Instead, Pierce-Arrow worked with its Buffalo, New York neighbor Aluminum Company of America to perfect casting techniques, which produced cast aluminum body panels as thin as 1/8'. The resulting Pierce-Arrow bodies were exceptionally strong, rattle-free and lightweight. Body design also was handled within Pierce-Arrow's Art Department. Created long before GM recruited Harley Earl to create GM's Art & Colour Department, Pierce-Arrow had Herbert Dawley designing bodies for Pierce-Arrow automobiles and working with Pierce's demanding clientele to manage accessories, colors and materials.Pierce-Arrow actively sought the business of prominent figures, including the White House where every President from William Howard Taft through Franklin Delano Roosevelt rode in the Buffalo company's automobiles. Pierce-Arrows were favored by movie stars like Mary Pickford, Gloria Swanson and Tom Mix. The publicity and recognition of product placement like this was supported by an imaginative advertising campaign.Being based on the successful business of its founder, George N. Pierce, and having developed an extensive network of dealers for its very successful line of bicycles, Pierce-Arrow enjoyed excellent distribution. Its sales organization reached into every corner of the United States.Pierce-Arrow's success enabled the company in 1906 to construct a massive integrated factory in Buffalo that covered 1.5 million square feet on the site of the 1901 Pan-American Exposition. Unit production from Pierce-Arrow was never high (it took until 1912 before Pierce-Arrow built its 12,000th car) but in quality and materials there was none better and Pierce-Arrows were enthusiastically snapped up by the elite at prices that made a Packard or Peerless seem inexpensive by comparison.Over the years prior to World War I Pierce-Arrow had a number of models, often offering them on a variety of wheelbase chassis and creating an impressive number of separate models. It was the first company to market a six-cylinder luxury automobile and employed impressive methods and procedures to ensure that each Pierce-Arrow built was quiet, powerful and trouble-free from the moment its new owner took delivery. While other manufacturers might rely on their customers to find and point out weaknesses in new models, Pierce-Arrow found them itself, corrected them and then charged a healthy premium for the confidence conferred by its deserved reputation for reliability, performance, silence and quality.Pierce introduced its first six-cylinder automobile in 1907. The Series Q Great Arrow employed a T-head six with 648 cubic inches and a 60 horsepower ALAM rating. In 1909 the Series QQ, a 453-cubic inch T-head six with a 48.6 horsepower ALAM rating became the top of Pierce's model range while a smaller six, the Series SS, rated at 37 ALAM horsepower with a 347 cubic inch displacement joined the company's offering. Also in 1909 the company reorganized, splitting the bicycle and motorcycle business off from the automobile business which took the name Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company. George N. Pierce resigned from active involvement and management was turned over to Col. Charles Clifton who had been its Treasurer for years.The Pierce-Arrow Model 36 was priced at an astounding $4,000 F.O.B. Buffalo, New York, and came with Pierce-Arrow's quality, rigid, luxuriously trimmed and appointed aluminum cast panel bodies.Many enthusiasts prefer these cars as 'drivers,' as they have abundant performance and are joys to drive. They are very popular in Pierce-Arrow Society activities and in tour events with the Vintage Motor Car and Antique Automobile Clubs of America and can be seen in many of this country's most distinguished collections.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDAnother hallmark car of the early American automobile industry, naturally in a collection of this stature and of this era it was a necessity that an example of the renowned Pierce-Arrow was included. The car arrived in this stable 22 years ago in the February 2001. According to correspondence on file, including a letter from Bernie Weis of the Pierce-Arrow Society, this 1911 car is fitted with a slightly later 1912 powerplant. The Pierce is known to trace much of its history in California where it is understood to have been recorded with license number 2369 in 1914. Its earliest recorded owner was Lillian Beal of Santa Barbara, who was succeeded by Samuel O Crouthers of Moreno Valley California and Phoenix, Arizona. Immediately prior to its present ownership it was owned from 1963 by Elmer A. Hankins of Riverside, California. Known as the 'Peach orchard car', it was discovered by Elmer Hankins in the 1960s as a rolling chassis with the front seats intact and rear having been modified, presumably for some commercial purpose. It was subsequently restored under his watch, during which the correct aluminum rear section of the bodywork was recreated by George Armour. Arriving in the collection those 20 or so years ago, it was one of a handful of stalwart touring cars in the group. Touring expeditions included a trip to England and Scotland in July 2005, a month long tour in Ireland in 2014, as well as many domestic events. For practical reasons a starter motor has been added. Pierce-Arrows are as rated for their touring capabilities today as they were when new. Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
