Another green Peerless has turned up to add to the list of known cars. This one is a 1923 or 1924 Model 66 Seven-Passenger Touring Phaeton that has turned up in Indiana. It has been in a barn, untouched since 1969. Just $2,990 in 1923, unless you count freight, accessories and taxes.
About this same time, a radio station had a contest on the air in which you had to send in 50 cent telegrams in favor of repealing the Volstead Act. After a certain amount of time, thousands of votes came in and the winner got to have what the station called: "The best car on Automobile Row in Chicago". It was one of these.
Jeff, I didn't know you had posted this! Sorry it has taken me now four years to respond to this. I am the lucky owner of the Peerless pulled from the barn in Indiana! I have attached a photo of it in the barn the day I picked it up, however, it is not a seven-passenger, it is what Peerless called the Four-Passenger Touring Phaeton. The research I have done thus far tells me the car came from Chicago. Time to research this radio give-away!
