1914 Peerless Model 60-Six news, pictures, and information

Peerless had a well renowned reputation for producing luxurious automobiles. By 1908 Peerless used a six-cylinder engine which was added to their four-cylinder unit which was used in their smaller models. The six-cylinder engine was massive and one of the largest ever used to power an automobile. Its 824.7 cubic-inches provided 60 horsepower which allowed the Peerless to cruise at a comfortable 65 miles per hour.

The Peerless Model 60-Six had seating for seven and considered a rather luxurious touring automobile. It carried a factory price of $6000, which was a substantial fortune for many during that era. In 1914 Peerless only produced 57 Model 60-Six Touring cars and this example is the only one known to exist in modern time.

Touring
 
Peerless was in production from 1900 until 1931. The Model 60-Six may represent the company's zenith - it was priced at $6,000 in 1914, an amount that could have purchased a significant home at that time. By the 1920s one could buy a Peerless for significantly less.

This massive touring car was built on a 140-inch wheelbase chassis and powered by a motor that developed 60-plus horsepower. The company's marketing slogan was 'All that the Name Implies.'
