I have received an email from a Peerless owner about 15 miles away from me in central Iowa with an invitation to come see his 2 cars. They are late teens, and I believe he is a Peerless Club member. I hope to take some photos, and when I do, I will upload some. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

In the late teens, Peerless was still in it's heyday as one of the fabled 3 P's along with Packard and Pierce Arrow, but I think they were better then Pierce Arrow in regards to engineering prowess, more in line with Cadillacs.

Packard was on the rise in both engineering and styling at the time.

Here are some photos of the Quam Peerless cars. These are a 1918 and a 1920. Both are V8's,as this was a period of time when that is all Peerless made, engine wise. Peerless went the way of Packard in the early 20's by creating an in house straight 6 cylinder, to help add to sales.

Sorry - unable too add, I don't see the option to add photos. I don't see File Manager option on my screen, so I can not add the photos
