From its humble beginnings as a manufacturer of household items, the company evolved to produce bicycles, motorcycles, and eventually, luxury cars. Pierce-Arrows symbolized wealth and status, and were favored by prominent figures such as presidents, industrialists, and celebrities. The company was also known for its innovations, including the iconic Helmeted Archer hood ornament and fender lights designed by Herbert Dawley.
The E.R. Thomas Motor Car Company, also based in Buffalo, NY, was initially established for the production of bicycles and motorcycles. The company gained recognition for its Thomas Flyer automobiles, which were celebrated for their character, speed, and reliability. Thomas Flyers won numerous hill-climbing and endurance contests, solidifying their reputation as exceptional vehicles. Despite facing bankruptcy in 1913, the company left a lasting legacy, and its factory still stands today as part of the Rich Products complex in Buffalo.
