jeff_a Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) This post is so old it pre-dates the AACA Forums. The following is from a Peerless owner in Norway from March 7th, 1998:"To anyone out there who know something about Peerless cars ( the American cars from before 1930 ). I want to come in contact with you."----Egil Johansen egil@porsnes.vgs.no found on: www.alt.autos.antique [Note:neither of these links work anymore]There was also a post on this site about parts he wanted to trade, from March 2nd, 1998:"I want to get in contact with owners of Peerless cars. Im also interested in trading parts for this car."Egil JohansenNorwayI have never been able to find out what part of Norway Egil and his car are in, or what year the car is. I think both EGIL and JOHANSEN are common names in his country. I think "porsnes" may be a school. It's interesting to think that somewhere in the fjords or on the Hardangervidda of Norway someone might have a 1909 (or a 1929 ) Peerless!-Jeff Edited December 31, 2009 by jeff_a (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Here is post that's even older:Sept, 12th, 1994 John Henry Parlevliet ( cake@gpo.swin.edu.au ) left a message on www.alt.autos.antique seeking information about a car his friend owns -- a 1926 Peerless boattail coupe located somewhere in Australia with a six-cylinder, 230 cubic inch motor.

jeff_a Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Finally, after six years, I have verified that the Peerless Boat Tail on post #2 of this thread exists! It's in the Melbourne area and I now have two color photos, thanks to the cooperation of Ron in Australia. It is (at least in 1978) a restored Roadster Coupe done up in red and black. I've heard a story about a third Peerless in Australia...but not much is known yet. Edited July 24, 2012 by jeff_a (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Oops, Pic didn't take, have to have another go when I have more time. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Dear Mal,Thank you for the news of the Peerless. My guess is it's a blue Sedan with red wire wheels.----Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Dear Mal,...My guess is it's a blue Sedan with red wire wheels.----JeffJeff, I'd say "good guess" but it obviously wasn't a guess, more like good intelligence. Well done!EDIT - Sorry, I captioned the pic incorrectly as a Pierce Arrow. Might be two reasons for that 1) The effects of the anaesthetic is still working, or 2) The owner telling me he wants to have the Three P's, Packard, Peerless and Pierce Arrow.

jeff_a Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Mal,Thanks. There are only 3 or 4 late-production 6-81 Peerless cars the owners describe as 1930s, and one has been listed for sale a few times plus written about on the Peerless Forum thread "What is this car worth, any ideas" {18 posts and several pictures} from a couple of years ago. I kind of guessed it was this Peerless. It's a very photogenic car and has even been in a film or two.If your colleague from the Packard Automobile Club of Australia has a Pierce and a Packard....then he has one of only about twelve collections worldwide to have one each of the "Three Ps". That puts him in company with the likes of the Nethercutt Museum and the Dutch National Motor Museum.----Jeff Edited August 3, 2012 by jeff_a (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Congratulations, Ozstatman, you wrote the 1000th post here on the Peerless Forum!Who would have thought when Wayne, Bryan, and I started this thing in 2007 it would get so much traffic?

Ozstatman Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Jeff,Didn't mean to steal a milestone post, but so be it! The owner of the Peerless doesn't have a Pierce Arrow, yet, he's currently on the lookout for one. Although Andrew is really a Ford collector he'd always wanted a Packard and being a real car guy the three P's then became a natural progression for him. I'll also alert Andrew to the thread his "new" Peerless is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
