1919 Pierce Arrow Series 51 Presidential Limousine | March 18, 2008
1n 1909, President William Howard Taft became the first president to own a car when he ordered a Pierce-Arrow to be used for State occasions. This was a very considerable honor for Pierce, a motor car company that had been in production for only eight years.

Ten years later, the Government decided to order yet another Pierce Arrow, this 1919 Pierce Arrow Series 51, and had it prepared to meet President Woodrow Wilson when he returned from the historic Versailles Peace Conference in 1919. The President enjoyed the vehicle so much that when he left office he acquired it for his own use.

It was first restored in 1973 and a more definitive restoration was undertaken in 1990.
