Ø Peerless outsold Packard in 1920 Ø They were one of the most expensive luxury cars of the era. The top three in price and status were called the three P’s: Packard, Pierce Arrow and Peerless. Ø Peerless Motor Cars (Cleveland, Ohio 1900-1931) was the first company to adopt what would become the standard of automobile design, a front mounted engine driving the rear wheels through a solid drive shaft. Ø Barney Oldfield shattered world speed records with the Peerless “Green Dragon” Ø Many collectors believe the Peerless motorcars to be some of the finest automobiles built in the USA in the 1920’s renowned for their high performance and stylish luxury . However, Peerless is the rarest and hardest to find of the “three P’s” as it ceased production in 1932. Ø In 1933, ownership and management of Peerless organized the Carling Brewing Co. USA , just after Congress repealed Prohibition, and began production of the famous Carling Black Label Beer in the old Peerless factory. Other Peerless “Firsts” - Peerless was the first company to successfully use a flyball governor to maintain speeds. - They set a 1,000-mile endurance record and the fastest time ever in the Mt. Washington hill climb in New Hampshire. - Peerless was the first to use of aluminum in their side-entrance tonneau along with being the first closed formal body in American production. - Peerless was one of the first companies to use electric lighting. They used a Gray & Davis system as early as 1910 and then upgrading in 1913 to a single voltage Gray & Davis system which now included an electric starter.
