I contacted the seller and probably found a buyer for him... not everyone can affort a Pierce Arrow... !!

Looks like it very well could be a Superior. That license plate light on the back door is something put on later in the vehicle's life and is not original. Very nice I must say. Thanks, Atti for posting this.

Atti - I also had a thought that this could be a Eureka but, when I read the text of the ad itself, I am now of the opinion that this could be one of quite a few coaches built by a contractor for Bourgie in Montreal. I am given to understand that for many years Bourgie had caskets and vehicles built for themselves and sold these to competing firms. This could very well be one of those cars. By the way, the rear bumper is also a later addition. It looks like it's off an early '40s Chevrolet or an Oldsmobile. In any event, this is a very interesting car.

From what I spoke with him it's largely overpriced. The only Pierce Arrow lover I know (Who was supposed to be the buyer...) told me he will pass on it since the seller "ask an unbelievable price for a unrestored unusual Pierce Arrow". To be honest the guy was interested but told me it's the "Studebaker Straight 8 when Pierce Arrow were near bankrupsy so there is no interest on the market even if it's a hearse". That means the car will probably cross the border... or he will get stuck with it if he doesnt lower his price.
