Vehicle description
This rare 1913 Pierce-Arrow Model 66A - 7 passenger touring, is currently for sale in Newport Beach, CA. The vehicle previously ran and drove prior to storage, however does need finishing repair work. 66 hp, 824.7 cu. in. T-head inline six-cylinder engine, four-speed manual transmission, solid front and live rear axles with three-quarter elliptical leaf-spring suspension, and rear-wheel mechanical brakes. Wheelbase: 147.5 in. The 66 was named for the horsepower of its engine, an inline six-cylinder mill that, at its introduction in 1910, displaced 714 cubic inches. By 1913, the engine had gained to nearly 825, and while its name remained the 66, its rating had increased to nearly 100 horsepower. This 1913 66A was built with a full wood frame with sheet aluminum. For some years, the model was recorded in Guinness World Records as having the largest engine installed in a production automobile. Some 1,250 Model 66s were built between 1910 and 1918, but only 14 survivors are recorded today. Almost all are held in private collections and rarely, if ever, are seen for sale on the public market.
