...from the Steve Hennings Peerless site about 2000. This originally went with the 9-paragraph essay on the Peerless Society homepage here. Mark M. in NY, a Peerless Society member, now owns the car pictured. Also featured on page 100 of the definitive chapter on the marque, Automobile Quarterly, Vol. 11, No. 1, "The Peerless Story" by Maurice D. Hendry. 32 pages, 1973.

I remember a boat tail coupe for sale on the AACA forum 4-5 years ago. It garnered a lot of attention and I believe was bought by a forum member.

Some interesting reading on a Boat tail found a few years ago.

@JohnBloom Fantastic car. Fantastic opportunity for someone. Unfortunately, no one here got it before it was gone. A museum in Cyprus thought enough of it to bring it all the way there. They also have a "Six-61" Sedan, and a 1932 Model "B", or "Master Eight" Sedan, the one Mike West restored.

A nice photo of a 1926 Peerless Six-80 Sedan. I read that until about 1960, the California Chamber of Commerce wouldn't let any members say the state had snow. They were trying to get people to move there to get away from the snow and ice of the Northeast and Midwest. My family was one! This is Big Bear Lake, only 2 hours up in the mountains from Los Angeles.
