Pierson Bros' 34 Coupe at Speed
This painting is now SoldOil on Canvas 12"x 16"
An iconic Hot Rod, the Pierson Brothers '34 coupe is one of the most celebrated Bonneville lake cars in the world
Over fifty years ago, this largely home-built hot rod copped an attitude long before that expression was applied to anything on four wheels. For a brief time, it was the fastest closed car in America. Its wide exposure at the lakes, and in rodding magazines of the period, served to define the postwar American youthful obsession with power and speed. It also helped put Edelbrock Equipment on the high performance map. Stated simply, it's the coupe that beat the roadsters.
The Pierson Brothers coupe was a sensation when it topped 140, and soon afterward, it ran over 150 mph
