ORIGINAL 1911
PIERCE ARROW TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE (with Original Case) Patent. June 13, 1911. Manufactured by : U.S. Gauge Co. NY I found the gauge in a box of my Grandfather’s tools. In ~ 1915 he acquired a 1911 Pierce Arrow Touring Car and moved the family from Illinois to Portland, Oregon. He didn’t like the weather, and moved to Southern California. After they settled, he sold the car to buy property. This gauge, along with other Pierce Arrow tools that will be sold later, came with the car. The gauge was tested to 22 psi and held that pressure for 20 minutes plus. When it was released, the gauge went to “0”. The glass looks to be in good condition, just needs to be polished. The rim has two dings: one at the 10 psi area and one just below the air needle The nickel back is in good condition for being 102 years young. Some of the nickel is worn on the fitting. The leather case is not in very good shape. The snap has the “U.S. Gauge Co. logo on it. This should make a nice addition to someone’s Pierce Arrow. Please look at photos. Sold as is.

Citroen C1 Urban Ride Concept – it’s a C1 ‘Allroad’ Crossover
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Citroen C1 Urban Ride Concept – it’s a C1 ‘Allroad’ Crossover With the 2014 Paris Motor Show rapidly looming, car makers are busy rolling out details of their new cars and concepts due to go on show, and today there’s another from PSA with the reveal of the Citroen C1 Urban Ride Concept. Demonstrating what can be done to the, frankly better than you think, C1 City car, Citroen has applied a makeover that turns the C1 in to a funky little ‘Allroad’ for a bit more rufty-tufty around town. Citroen calls its makeover of the C1 to create the Urban Concept as SUV-inspired with ‘go anywhere looks’.
CCS Ford Model T project
Fri, 13 Jun 2008This past semester, eleven junior-level College for Creative Studies (CCS) Transportation Design students were asked to reinterpret an automotive icon: the Ford Model T. Over the course of the 16-week semester the students created 11 different concepts for a Model T for the future without forgetting the underlying principle - creating an icon that would have equal significance and social impact like the 100 year old original. On April 30 each of the students presented their research, sketches, renderings and one- quarter scale models judged by Peter Horbury, Ford Executive Director of Design, The Americas and Pat Schiavone, Ford's Design Director for North America Trucks and CUVs. The winning concept, which the judges thought best embodied the spirit, innovation and sociological impact equal to that of the original Model T, was created by Dong Tran, of Cicero, New York.
BMW 0 Series revealed? +video
Sat, 26 Jun 2010Is this the BMW 0 Series? If BMW are going to go further downmarket in their quest for more sales – which we know they are with their plans for front wheel drive BMWs – then short of a sub-brand marque (entirely possible some will wear the Isetta or i-setta badge) then the only number we have to play with is a big, fat 0. It seems daft to give a BMW a leading 0 and its own series, but it certainly looks to be under consideration.
