History

Sharply raked, highly stylized grille

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. ^[1]
