Jeff, here is the photo. I wanted to add it to your profile but couldn't.
Glad I was able to get back on!
I'm gonna make that your profile photo. I just have to submit an enhancement request.
This 1923 PEERLESS looks like a true Condition#1 restoration. I'd be curious to know the background and restoration shop!
I looked up the Reno Auction and there was
some choice iron!

Saw This On Prewar Car. Don't know if current:
"Peerless 1925 V8 seven passenger sedan
Peerless 1925 V8 seven passenger sedan
This car is extremely original. Has original upholstery from 1925 in near perfect condition. Never any rust . Was found by a collector in usa early 1950. Put in his private museum .Technical restored as well as paint and nickel , tyres ect., run."
Jeff, I searched for it and couldn't find it. Looks like a really nice car.
I'm pretty sure this one was the Model "8-67" in Denmark. It will turn up again with a new owner.
Hi Jeff, talking about model 66, does this car have the permanent top, or was it an option for 1923?
What was the appeal of the permanent top in a open car? Was it offered only in 1923 or only in model 66?
Julio, I'm gonna take a guess:
1. Cheaper than a sedan.
2. Many times more stylish than a sedan.
3. Still "open air" without the side curtains.
4. Some were seasonal, so you could take it off in the summer, or swap in a folding top.
