Textured tan softcovers, black lettering, gray ruled borders, NF copy. First edition of this uncommon Peerless Motor Car Company dealer brochure, advertising and promoting the advances… brought to the Company in during the Roaring 20's under the direction of Ver Linden, after being purchased by Collins, former President of Cadillac, and his business investors. At the time the Model 8-69 was the only 8-cylinder engine car in their line-up, featured a 128 in. wheelbase, and could be purchased in a roadster, coupe, sedan, and even a custom limousine. The company originally began manufacturing automobiles in Cleveland in 1900, and were known for their high-quality, luxury automobiles, and were responsible for introducing drum brakes and enclosed-body production cars. Collins' team increased the horsepower in the Peerless V-8 engines, improved the cooling system, introduced new model colours, and more. Unfortunately, they were unable to improve sales as much as the investors wished, and by 1927, Collins was out. The last automobile built was the 1932 V-16 sedan, and after that Peerless' president James Bohannon, decided to convert the auto plant to beer brewery, eventually becoming the Carling Brewing Company.
