@Peerless28 is in an RV park with limited internet but he had some comments on the 6-70.

I told you about the 1st Peerless I saw 20 years ago - a Condition #6 1924 6-70 in  Bozeman. The one that sat out in a cow pasture 60 years.   It did lead to all my interest in Peerlesses because I could see a few vestiges of quality.

Researching it, found it to be the only survivor of this model, mostly 1924 w/ a few holdover models built thru MAR, 1925. Then found a restored '25 6-70 Sedan, and a restored '25 6-70 5-P Touring Phaeton. That had been an amateur 70s restoration by a farmer in S. SASK., Canada. 2 farm auction.........(SASK, MT)seems to be F/S again(by an auction Co.?). Sold for ~8-10K USD each time.

IMHO ----------it's a fantastic find and a fantastic car. 3 of these on the planet, out of 2,786 built. During the Cadillac Lookalike Years(1923-1924/25)... yes it's the 6, but about the same HP as the 8. Engine designed by Cadillac. Perhaps they envisioned getting into the Owner Driver niche that Pierce & Packard led, followed by Peerless, with a less ponderous lower luxury pricepoint [Packard "Single Six"/"Pierce Six-80", "Six-81"], but declined to add a 6.............and Peerless wound up with it.

As you know, Cadillac's President bought Peerless and brought over much of the firm's officers to run it in 1921, as well as the Collins Six engine. Richard Collins increased sales and got a bonus for every one of the 6-70 models *sold over-a-million-dollars-worth, but left in DEC 1923.
*over 14,000 Peerlesses w/ this engine sold 1924-1929 between 4 similar models
