1929 Pierce-Arrow is correct.  This rare one without fender-mounted headlights belongs to a friend of mine.  The car was at a Concours d'Elegance held on a golf course this weekend.  Check out the water flying up from both front and rear tires.

One point to Manuel.

How did you know it was a Pierce-Arrow?

Well 65, first I could not decide if it was a Packard or PA. I know some PA's had normal lights. I think they were optional.
Then it was down to the tail light, bonnet louvres and what I could see of the  grill.
The easiest thing to ID were the wheels. As far as I know Packard never had wires and hubcaps like that.

What engine does it have?

Keep them coming.
