jeff_a Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) A 1928 Peerless Six-91 Five-Passenger Sedan The owner told me he drove it from Massachusetts down to New Jersey or Maryland for an antique car show of some kind, and parked in visitor parking, since he had no plans to enter the Peerless. Soon he was summoned on the sound system and asked to report to the judging area, because the organizers thought it was too nice to be in the visitor lot. He was asked to move it to a prime area as a featured exhibition car. Maybe he got an award for Best Twenties Car To Crash The Party!

Not beautiful the way most of the car in this thread are, but very imposing and interesting. As one of the few that like the 1920s cars more than the 1930s cars, I really like this one. What is even better, is that it wound up in a long-time good friends garage! I haven't been out to see it yet (my family issues still), but hope to by some time this year (I think I said that last year?). He is a great guy and very passionate about the cars and the history surrounding them. The car is in good hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw it in 2010, it was parked between two posts, next to the Gray-Dort, of which I took a photo of here: https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/stove-huggers-the-non-studebaker-forum/47754-orphan-of-the-day-12-02-1924-gray-dort?46595-Orphan-of-the-Day-12-02-1924-Gray-Dort=&highlight=gray-dort It was impossible to get a good photo of it because of the posts being in the way.

Fred Roe didn't note whether this Castagna-bodied J was still extant. Perhaps Randy Ema knows. Anyway, here is another favorite Duesenberg J sport sedan by Rollston, primarily because its conceptually a convertible sedan with a stationary top. It retains the light chrome window frames and half-door construction. One does have to overlook the rather bulbous trunk, though. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Speaking of Mark Hyman, here is a Judkins bodied car that I saw years ago in Chris Charlton's shop when it was owned by Bill Ruger. Bill had updated it for touring like all his cars. It goes like a bat out of hell. Not beautiful, but not ugly. Interesting car. Have been on a tour behind it trying to keep up and failed miserably. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
