BUFFALO, N.Y. — A piece of Buffalo's automotive past is back in town, and this time it's for good.
Thanks to a generous donation from the Bill and Jean Irr Family Foundation, a 1904 Pierce Arrow will go on permanent display starting Saturday at the Buffalo Transportation Pierce Arrow Museum.
In his day, Buffalo's George N. Pierce was a manufacturer of some of the finest automobiles on the road. The car was built at his factory, where Canalside sits today.
What Pierce created what would become a status symbol around the world.
The stars of Hollywood, tycoons, and even the president rode in a Pierce-Arrow.
From Buffalo, to around the globe, and now back where it was built. This 1904 Arrow is just one of two known to still exist, and thanks to a generous donation, it will live here permanently.
