- 1904 Pierce-Arrow Roadster - From its founding in Buffalo, New York, in 1901, Pierce-Arrow quickly grew into one of the country's most prestigious automobile marques. This sleek, two-cylinder 1904 roadster features a front-mounted vertical engine, a sliding-gear transmission, and a driveshaft to the rear axle -- all very advanced for an American car at that time. Pierce-Arrow fell victim to the Great Depression in 1938.
