Hello,

I have a 1927 Peerless 6-72 Sedan 5 passagers 4.800cc in Belgium (Ardennes).

I would like to know if there are others owners of 6-72 to exchange information about it.

I appreciate also contacts with Peerless enthousiats ...

Many thanks for the new Peerless Forum.

I would say many thanks to Jeff Brown for his help and documentation.

The forgotten Peerless Motor Car Make needs people like him to contribute to remember that the 3'P does not exist without Peerless.

I will contribute to this aim in my club "RVCCB : Royal Veteran Car Club Belgium" joining with my Peerless members with Packard and Pierce Arrow.

Salutations from Belgium.

Philippe,

I looked on the website of your car club, and REALLY enjoyed the photos from a winter ( Hivernales ) rally your club had on February 3rd, 2008! The picture of the Bugatti going down the road in the snow, as well as the one of all the open cars parked in the woods ( an '06 Ford, a '26 Bugatti, and a '24 Renault) is GREAT! It looks like a PRE-1930, OPEN CAR ONLY, WINTER rally. I don't think anyone in the U.S. has ever held a tour like that. ---Jeff

{ If anyone else is reading this, the club is the Royal Veteran Car Club of Belgium at www.rvccb.be }

Hello Jeff,

There is also the Veteran Car Club Grand Ducal (Grand Duché de Luxembourg - small country near Belgium).

There is a list of all member's cars with pictures for each (Bugatti, Lagonda, Rolls Royce, ... and our Peerless)

The address is http://www.vccgd.lu.

I still have to put the new pictures of the Peerless after complete restoration (in Dark Wine/Dark Grey).

Philippe

Joyeux anniversaire Philippe!

There was a news bulletin that you had a birthday today.

I had already looked at the Veteran Car Club Grand Ducal website once and seen the three photos of your Peerless. I've never been to Europe, but I've always wanted to go on a journey there to see the smaller countries, and skip the big ones: instead of going to England, France, Germany and Russia.....Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, Andorra, and Belgium....or San Marino, Monaco, Portugal and Ireland.

This 1927 Peerless is owned by Peerless Motor Car Club Member Philippe Mordant, of Belgium. It has just come out of the restoration shop and is a Model 6-72. Brakes are four-wheel Lockheed hydraulic. The engines in 6-72's have an aluminum crankcase, an aluminum transmission housing, and a displacement of 288.6 cubic inches. Power output is 70 horsepower @ 2,500 r.p.m. - as much as the Peerless V-8's for that year.

Awesome. For the uninitiated, THIS is a PEERLESS!

One of the finest motorcars built from 1901 through 1932 in Cleveland Ohio.

Hello. I am looking for any information on the 1926 Peerless 6-80. I have just aquired this car from my father after it has sat in his garage for 48 years up on blocks. The whole car seems to be all there but needs to be completly restored. I am looking for any info to give me the starting point. I need to aquire a maintenace manual if possible and any info to locate parts that need to be re-made like door handels etc. If you have any information please let me know. I can be reached at wegetnoiced@yahoo.com my name is Greg

Dear 1926 Peerless,
Thanks for writing about the Peerless that you and your father have had so long. I don't have any repair manuals myself, but I have seen quite a few things like that for sale on sites like AutoLit.com. Last time I looked, I think one had a choice between several repair and owners manuals...plus sales brouchures for your model.

The good thing about your model is that it is one of the most numerous of all the surviving years & models. The other side of the coin is good, too! Peerlesses as a brand are incredibly rare *, and you'll really have something when you're done with restoration. Just go to 10 car museums and 10 car shows this summer and tell me how many Peerless cars and trucks you see!!!

I'm interested in getting my 1st Peerless in the next year or two, and think that 1926 is a good year for the car; with the unique radiator plus the marque's history.

What part of the country do you live in?

----Jeff
* About 107,000 Peerless vehicles were built, with less than 1% remaining. Educated guesses of surviving cars range from as low as 35 to as high as 600. Interestingly enough...a lot of the undiscovered ones may be in Europe.

Hello Jeff and thanks for responding to my post. My goal is to start working on the project the first of 2009 as I have to make room for the project. We are a little starved for room at my current home where we reside in Tulsa Oklahoma. The car is currently in Southern California where it has been in my fathers garage. I was hopping that he was going to pass it on to me so I can get this back out where the public can enjoy the history of Peerless. Like you said you just do not see these in car shows and I have been to a number of them. I love restoring old stuff. My last restoration project was a 1966 Triumph Spitfire MKII which turned out great. I gave that to my father when he retired for his retirement present. I also have a 1948 totally restored Cessna 170 airplane that I use to fly cancer patients with. People just love the old stuff. I am really looking forward to the Peerless project and if you see any info out there I would appreciate it if you would let me know. Thanks Jeff. By the way my name is Greg

Hello 1926 Peerless,

Sorry for this late answer but I was not on the forum from 2 months.

I have a beautifull Peerless SIX-80 Instruction and Description Manual of 64 pages for you. I will make a free copy for you and Jeff. Give me some days to do it and send it to you.

You will find 30 pictures of internal parts of the car. 6 pictures of the engine with a beautifull Side sectional view of Engine and a front outline view of Engine, Timing Chain and Sprockets.

Please, send me or to Jeff your post adress and I will send it to you.

I have also a spare parts catalog of 1932 and a interchangable data catalog (free).

Philippe.
