First edition. 8" x 5 1/2" decorated title in blue & black, blue woodcut borders throughout, numerous color-tinted plates (1 full-page view of the Peerless plant), diagrams, text illustrations. First edition of this very scarce Peerless Motor Car Company dealer brochure, advertising and promoting their complete line-up of Model 56 automobiles powered by the Peerless V-8 engine. This catalogue includes the Peerless 7-passenger limousine, 7-passenger sedan, 5-passenger sedan, 4-passenger coupe, 7-passenger touring car, and their 4-passenger roadster, with special illustrated section on the V-8 motor. Peerless makes careful mention in the introduction of this catalogue that they did not produce yearly models, so that changes, or mechanical improvements were introduced into the Peerless motor cars, without regard to the time of year, and operated without subjecting their customers to designed obsolescence. The company 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. No copies located in Worldcat. Former owner has inked in a couple of prices on the price list page, a few light foxing spots to rear fly leaf, rear cover lightly soiled, else a very good copy of this elusive booklet.
