You would be surprised who many "Mrs Dorothy Arrington" hits you get for different people in the 1920s. I couldn't find anything on her.

Nice photograph, really. What's interesting is the variety Peerless gave you with these boattail Roadsters (and Roadster Coupes). In '26 you could get them in 6-80, 6-72 and 8-69 models; each a different car and different engine. Richard's Peerless book says production was 11,670 cars that year.
_ _ _ 6-80 230 Cu. In. six/63 h.p./$1,495
_ _ _ 6-72 289 Cu. In. six/70 h.p./$2,195
_ _ _ 8-69 332 Cu. In. eight/70 h.p./$2,995
In 1927, the 6-60 was added, if you had $1,395 you could get one with 62 h.p./199 Cu. In.
