An event by the Pacific Northwest Region of the Pierce-Arrow Society brought around a dozen vintage cars to Whidbey Island over the weekend.

The society’s 2022 tour, combined with the National Stutz Club, took place July 13-17. Drivers paraded their almost-century-old vehicles all over Whidbey Island.

About half of the cars were Pierce-Arrows and one was a Stutz. A number of other vintage models were also represented. Most of the vehicles were from the 1930s or earlier. The oldest vehicle was a 1918 Pierce-Arrow owned by North Whidbey resident Richard Anderson. Despite the cars’ ages, Anderson said, most of them can still reach speeds of 60-70 miles per hour.

Anderson said the Pierce-Arrow Society takes an annual tour. The group has been to locations all over the Pacific Northwest together, including Vancouver Island.
