SALE PENDING!! In the late 20's, American automotive standards were
set by the three P's: Packard, Pierce-Arrow and Peerless. Somehow,
Peerless has nearly been forgotten and its cars are by far the most
rare. This is a thorough and high quality older restoration done to
high standards. And it looks incredible still. With just over 800
miles traveled since restoration, it is in good mechanical
condition as well. The livery is painted in four colors, three
shades of green and black fenders. It looks fantastic. The paint is
in overall good to very good condition. It has terrific luster and
no noticeable cracking or other issues. The chrome is also in good
to very good condition. Overall, the entire car has a consistent
patina. It would be very comfortable at any car show and most all
concours events. This Peerless was bought new in San Diego, CA and
remained there under long term ownership nearly all its life. In
the early 1990's, it benefited from a complete ground up
restoration. You can see from the photo gallery that this was a
very thorough restoration. After 30 years of ownership and
restoration, the car was sold and spent about seven years at the
Murphy Auto Museum in Oxnard, CA. From there, it was traded to join
the vast collection of the present owner in Northern California.
This has an incredibly rare hood ornament that overlays onto a
Moto-meter. This very opulent hood ornament was issued by Peerless
only to special VIP repeat customers. The owner of the car had been
offered $7,500 by a ornament collector- JUST FOR THE ORNAMENT!!
Also included in the sale is an incredibly rare Peerless tire
pressure gauge and its original pouch, both in spectacular
condition. The interior is done in a correct looking mohair. The
flooring is rubber matting that is in very good condition. The
Peerless fires up easily with an electric fuel pump professionally
mounted. The vacuum fuel system is still there and in excellent
condition. The transmission and brakes work and seat belts and turn
signals were added for safer touring. This is a testament to the
fact that this is not meant to be a trailer queen. The new owner
would need to perform a major service before enduring a tour. With
a 115 inch wheelbase and the dependable and powerful Continental
248 cu. in. straight six and three speed manual transmission, the
motorcar performs well for the period. Peerless were made in
Cleveland, Ohio from 1900 to 1931 and was considered an innovator
having developed drum brakes, still used today. For more
