A COLLECTORS FANTASY BECOMES A REALITY 

         There is an advertisement currently running on television which tries to show what can happen when you miss an opportunity in history.  The chance to build Las Vegas, invest in Apple Computer, or Consider the Internet.  Then there are others who know when the right deal presents itself.  To those few we present this automotive jewel.  One of the rarest classic cars in existence is actually in our possession: 

 THE 1922 PEERLESS MODEL 56-7, V8.

 

THE BIG THREE P's:  PEERLESS, PIERCE ARROW & PACKARD  

        These were the names that defined the golden era of American automotive art.  The Peerless Motor Car Company operated from 1900 to 1932 and produced some of the finest motor cars in history.  Considered one of the top car producers in America, they marketed their unique automobiles to the rich and famous.  They introduced the 80HP V-8 model in 1922 and that is the car you are viewing in this auction.  This car was stored in a garage for 50 years and was discovered in New York by a vintage car collector.  The long and detailed restoration was performed by such notables as Art Vogel of Willow Automotive, and Dave Brennan a restoration mechanic who got the V-8 engine purring again.

  

      

        You will seldom see Peerless cars today.  They are extremely rare due to their limited production as luxury cars.  Peerless cars were built with lots of aluminum and during WWII they were sought after by scrap metal dealers.  As a result, a running Peerless on the road today is a sight to be enjoyed and relished as you are indeed looking back into history. This automobile is in perfect running condition and is in mint body shape.  It has won several awards, where it was driven to the shows,  and is a museum grade quality.  You will not get a chance to bid on this quality historical classic twice in a lifetime. The owner has several artifacts and items that come with the purchase.  Study the photos and you will have to agree that this is a fantasy that can be a reality for the real collector.

 

 

       The 1922 Peerless is 100% original with the exception of the hood and the fenders.  The engine was completely rebuilt using original parts that were located and used in the rebuild. This Peerless speedster restoration was started by Tony LaPorta 52yrs ago from a touring car.  He was a big time collector/restorer who started the Westchester AACA. Once It was acquired by the current owner, he rebuilt the engine and finished the restoration. The graphics are based on the Peerless GREEN DRAGON theme. There are three others done like this in existence, one of which ran the last two Great American Races. The wheels are wooden and the tires are in mint condition.  This auto was never in bad weather and was always garaged.   The history of the vehicle has been documented completely, and covered in several collector magazines.  It has won several awards and ribbons over the years.  The latest was at the Big Indian Car Show in New York. All the service, repair and shop manuals are available.  Everything that the AACA library has on file for this vehicle is available from the owner.  Since the owner is an avid collector, he wishes to keep these documents but will make copies of everything for a fee of 200.00.  This is well below the price that was paid for these documents. The car is in perfect running and driving order.  It starts right up and can be driven unto any auto transport carrier.  It has been driven to and from every car show for the past many years with no problems.
