This 1915 Pierce-Arrow Model 48B-3, 5-passenger touring Pierce-Arrow was photographed at The Nethercutt Collection in Sylmar, Calif.

It was manufactured by the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Co. of Buffalo, N.Y. Pierce-Arrow was also the coachbuilder. It is powered by a 6-cylinder T-Head engine and could reach 48hp at peak performance.

“By 1915,” a Nethercutt summary states, “Pierce had established itself as one of America’s best automakers. The 1915 Pierce line consisted of 13 body styles. This 5-passenger touring car was the most popular.

“Pierce-Arrow was decades ahead of any other manufacturer with its trademarked fender design and integrated headlamps.”
