Just a Thought
Today, in 1900, Pierce tested their first car. They were originally a bicycle company, and before long, they changed their name to Pierce-Arrow, by 1938 they were gone. Not entirely their fault, however. They were bought by Studebaker at the start of the Great Depression, and because Studebaker didn't know what they were doing, they ran the company into the ground. They sold the company off, but it quickly faded to obscurity. Its a shame, as they did make some lovely cars.
