FOR SALE… reduced price $34,000 Pistorius Collectible Autos Antique & Classic Car Sales and Restoration Services Brando Pistorius (813)917-9205 Tampa, Florida USA www.OldWheel.com They were one of the most expensive luxury cars of the era. The top three in price and status where called the three P’s: Packard, Pierce Arrow and Peerless. Peerless 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. Barney Oldfield shattered world speed records with the Peerless “Green Dragon” Many 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 went out of business in 1932 during the depression. In 1933, ownership and management of Peerless organized the Carling Brewing Co. USA, just after Congress repealed Prohibition, and began production of the famous Carling Black Label Beer in the old Peerless factory.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.

Guest Brando & Joanne Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Great background info! I love the histories of these great cars. I wish I could get a hold of some Carling Black Label Beer to sell along with the Peerless. This is the beer company they converted the car manufacturing plant to brew their beer in. It seems Carling is now only sold overseas, or at least I can not find it. Any help out there (Hey Mabel, Black Label!) is appreciated. By the way, the windscreen winds up (not "out" like other cars) about 4". That along with the wider than usual sun visor make for enough shade and air flow for a comfortable ride. We are down in Florida, and it has sufficed pretty well so far :-) By the way, this beauty won a "Best-in-Class" at the FOS Amelia Island a couple of weeks ago. We need the space to start a new project, so spread the word, she is going for a fabulous price. Just reduced to $34,000. We can even work with the buyer on delivery options. Cheers!
