Not only is this car special because it’s a beautiful classic, it is also unique thanks to its original ownership. The two-tone dual cowl wheelbase Pierce-Arrow used to belong to famous Charlie Chaplin. It is a 1929 model, which means that the silent movie star bought it at the beginning of the Great Depression. Yes, he could afford to make such a purchase in difficult times, because his salary was of over $600,000 per year, which was quite something for that time.
Priced between $2,800 to more than 8,000, the Pierce-Arrow was a very popular vehicle among royalty, corporate tycoons and Hollywood stars. In 1929 alone, the automaker sold 10,000 such cars, thus setting a new sales record. You see now why this vehicle is so special today. It is now available on eBay, with the bidding ending on May 15 (current bid: $61,226).
