Pierce-Arrow Colani Concept

- bonnet mascot -

 

Despite the prestigious image, Pierce-Arrow only

offered high-end cars, unlike its competitors. In

1938 the company declared insolvency and closed

its doors. In 2006, a Swiss company bought the

name and started designing a new car. That’s the

Pierce-Arrow Colani Concept Car.

The design works in the same way as the original.

The base remains the same for each example,

the bodywork was custom designed by Luigi Colani.

Pierce-Arrow is an ancient name. Originally based

in Buffalo, New York, Pierce-Arrow produced

expensive luxury cars between 1901 and 1938.

One of its biggest claims to fame was that in

1909, US President William Taft ordered two

Pierce-Arrows as the first official cars of the

White House.

Luigi Collani crowned his automotive lifetime

achievements with the rebirth of a legend:

Pierce-Arrow.

Only 6 collector pieces worldwide.
