Identifiable by the chrome sidemount covers and the Peerless script on the rad shell. The Deluxe Master Eight and Master Eight would have been 125" wheelbases vs. 138" on the Custom Eight....same engine, except carburetion and horsepower(115). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Mereness Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 From AACA Forum Member jeff_a A 1928 Peerless 7-Passenger Sedan. Model Six-91...289 Cu. In. seven-main-bearing alloy Superb Six engine, designed by the Cadillac engineering department. The 6-90 and 6-91 models were all supposed to be 120" wheelbase/$500-less versions of the luxury 6-72 model. A 7-P 6-72 Sedan was 133 1/2" w.b./$2,595. 128" wheelbase for this 6-91 body style only. The black color, wire wheels, and Peerless Eagle hood ornament give this a certain cachet. This one would have been $1,995 before the D/S/M and wire wheels.

The date......July 8 1932 was the lowest point of the stock market ever........it was “the worst and lowest point” of the depression. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can somebody more knowledgeable than I (Jeff?) elaborate. Note spare tire covers, different bumper and other differences. Btw, these cars are made of Unobtainium. In the last 20 years, I've seen one Master Eight and two Custom Eights for sale. EDIT: It is the wheelbase - I attached additional article. Thank you A.J., Ed, and John for the discussion of some Peerlesses. I can't read the small print in the newspaper announcement of the Custom Eight -- but it probably has some info not commonly known these days. The benchmark surviving Peerless Custom 8 is the one Ele Chesney has. Ed from Massachusetts could theoretically get another V-16 besides the one in the Crawford Museum...........they built 3 of them. They say No one knows what happened to the other 2, but remember that not one person in the world knew where they stashed Osama Bin Laden for years(total bs, 50 people probably knew). Maybe the other 2 V-16s got scrapped, maybe not. When you get into the custom-bodied Custom 8s, like a Weymann, you are up to the 5K price level, TTBOMKnowledge. alsancle posted a neato photo of another coachbuilt Peerless in a Dutch motor show, circa 1930, on the "Classic Era Peerless" thread of the CCCA General Forum here [De Lay bodywork of Holland] There is a little-known 1930 image of a Peerless Custom Eight showing what may be a color scheme intended for a show car:...in my opinion, this salmon/cranberry combination may be what the repaint of the Ele Chesney car by Harrah's was trying to achieve before turning into more of a silver-grey/maroon exercise. That's assuming Harrah had access to this illustration and that they wanted to make it a little more mainstream. Not every car could pull that livery off....think of the flesh-tone Fords about 1974.
