Gathering of Peerless owners….

Has there ever been a gathering of Peerless owners, similar to the Franklin people getting together for the TREK? If so, are there any photos to document it?

Yes, in 2001 there was one in Cleveland(23 Peerless cars there) and in 2013 there was one in Hickory Corners. The Peerless Motor Car Club held a joint meet with the Pierce-Arrow Society at an annual affair the PAS holds at the Gilmore Car Museum there in SW Michigan. Two days of touring to visit private auto collections followed by a car show and banquet at the PAS Museum there at this huge car museum complex. On the show field, there were 18 Pierce-Arrows and 6 Peerlesses. The PMCC also had get-togethers in 2014(New Glarus, WI), 2015(Cleveland All Stars Meet), and 2016(Odessa, FL).

@JohnBloom Here's one Gordon Linkletter took on the tour during the Gathering At Gilmore in 2013. We're parked to look at Bill Upjohn Parfet's Collection. The cars on the left are: 193_ Pierce, 193_ Pierce, 1931 Peerless Coupe, 1923 Peerless, 19__ Pierce(probably the 1934 Silver Arrow that drove to the Gathering), 1931 Peerless Cabriolet, 19__ Pierce. On the right is a 1932 Pierce Coupe. By coincidence, I did a colored pencil drawing based on this photo. It's such a great lineup of cars you don't see every day.

@JohnBloom Here is a Gordon Linkletter shot of Richard and Mari Anne Lichtfeld's 1916 Peerless Model "56", and Lloyd and Shirley Young's 1920 Peerless "56" at the 2015 Cleveland All Stars Meet.

@Peerless28 The green 32 Pierce Arrow coupe in the background is Ed Minnie's old car.

@alsancle If the Peerless owner from Lebanon, Missouri was on here he might notice the red car in the foreground as his!

@Peerless28 Jeff, he has not joined yet. In fact I think his invitation email was blocked. I might see him on a tour or at an auction and will ask him to join.
