Did you know..

Ø Peerless outsold Packard in 1920

ØThey were one of the most expensive luxury cars of the era. The top three in price and status were called the three P's:

Packard, Pierce Arrow and Peerless.

ØPeerless Motor Cars (Cleveland, Ohio 1900-1931) was the first company to adopt what would become the standard of automobile design, a front mounted engine driving the rear wheels through a solid drive shaft.

ØBarney Oldfield shattered world speed records with the Peerless "Green Dragon"

ØMany collectors believe the Peerless motorcars to be some of the finest automobiles built in the USA in the 1920's renowned for their high performance and stylish luxury. However, Peerless is the rarest and hardest to find of the "three P's" as it ceased production in 1932.

ØIn 1933, ownership and management of Peerless organized the Carling Brewing Co. USA, just after Congress repealed Prohibition, and began production of the famous Carling Black Label Beer in the old Peerless factory.

Other Peerless "Firsts"

- Peerless was the first company to successfully use a flyball governor to maintain speeds.

- They set a 1,000-mile endurance record and the fastest time ever in the Mt. Washington hill climb in New Hampshire.

- Peerless was the first to use of aluminum in their side-entrance tonneau along with being the first closed formal body in American production.

- Peerless was one of the first companies to use electric lighting. They used a Gray & Davis system as early as 1910 and then upgrading in 1913 to a single voltage Gray & Davis system which now included an electric starter.
