I do what I can. Thank you!

I guess I could take inspiration from the greatest call-to-arms song ever written, "By The Rising Of The Moon" and pen some similar verse:

 

 

Oh say there, Peerless owner, why do ya hurry so?

 

Hush me Dougal, hush and listen, for it's almost time to go.

 

I bear orders from the Event Chairman, get you ready and look alive,

 

For the cars must be together, August 23 to 25.

 

Then tell me Sean O'Farrell, where The Gathering is to be,

 

At The Gilmore Car Museum, quite well known to you and me.

 

One more word first, signal captain, whistle up the marchin' tune,

 

For the cars must be together, just up the road from Kalamazoo.

 

400 cars in the Museum, 200 miles to tour,

 

Pierce owners want to meet us, and compare a thing or two.

 

This Gathering At Gilmore, will have lots of brass and chrome,

 

Put your cars up on your trailers, and head out from your home.

 

Though Cadillacs and Duesenbergs, outnumber us, it's true,

 

Don't forget the Peerless legacy, and Barney Oldfield, too.

 

Far beyond just mass production, the word was "lux-ur-y",

 

Bring your car to Hickory Corners, for everyone to see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would like to record that ditty. May I use your words?

[What model Peerless do you have?]

And on the port side...

[What model Peerless do you have?]

1927, S 60, A402599, 10E 1824-cast dates head 4-27-27 block 4-27-27.

[Is this a Peerless?]

Not sure on the year but...24 louvers, cowl lamps, French roof, bumpers, ridged fenders and hatbox chrome lamps. I think it is a Peerless 6-81 Boat-tail. A one "hole'er". Brother Dave Thomas in the front will be OK after they turn his head around...

sweet data...

[Peerless Photos]

This is one of the last photos taken in Great Race livery. All stickers and labels were respectfully removed and toasted appropriately.  "FEARLESS PEERLESS" will live on in eternity. Confetti was removed from under rear seat. Thanks Ron Martin for getting her to me...it's a match made in heaven.

This car has changed hands and is now based in Osprey Florida.
