History
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/1933_Pierce_Silver_Arrow.jpg/180px-1933_Pierce_Silver_Arrow.jpg)
The car featured a modern flowing design, spare wheels hidden behind the front wheels, a wide-angle V-12, and top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h). Five production models were built, but they resembled a more typical Pierce-Arrow and lacked many of the unique features shown in New York.[further explanation needed] Only three Silver Arrows exist today.
