Picnic At Ross Classic Car Show 2018 - 1959 Peerless GT. Made by Peerless Cars Ltd, featured Triumph TR3 running gear in a tubular space frame with de Dion tube rear suspension with a fibreglass 4-seater bodywork. Two Peerless Works cars were entered in the 1958 Le Mans. The race versions of the GT had hand-built engines, additional fuel tanks, and a lowered suspension. One of the cars won its class, and finished 16th overall.
About 325 were made between 1957 and 1960. After Peerless went broke in 1960, the car morphed into a Warwick, which included a prototype of a 3.5 Litre GT which used the light alloy Buick V8 engine that was later used by Rover in P5, P6 and SD1. The Peerless space-frame was subsequently used as the basis for a Chevrolet-powered, Giugiaro-designed, Bertone-built bodywork, which eventually reached production in 1964 as the Gordon-Keeble.
The last revenue run up to Peerless Confectionary?
I received a call from Ken the engineer on the Chicago Terminal at the time tipping me a couple of days earlier off that the final run to Peerless would take place on February 1, 2007. Peerless announced it was shutting down January 12, 2007, with the last day of operation April 30, 2007. No new orders would be accepted after February 15, 2007.
This Chicago Terminal operation would involve retrieving an empty tank car and returning it to the North Avenue Yard. So I took the day off from work and brought with me a banner I made signifying the end of rail service on this northernmost section of the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line.
And yes I was still shooting film back then with my trusty 35mm Canon camera.
Assisting Ken that day was John who was a conductor and a younger person whose name I do not recall.
Later I heard that one more run was made to Peerless before it shut down later that spring for good. Then in 2008 gondolas were stored on the Peerless spur after the factory was torn down as well as an excursion run by Chicago Terminal parent Iowa Pacific with the passenger car Caritas for Iowa Pacific customers.
If anyone has photos of a REVENUE run up to Peerless after February 1, 2007, I would be interested in seeing them posted.
I wrote an extensive history of the Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line in the book "The Milwaukee Road in Chicago" which was published by the Milwaukee Road Historical Association in 2007 if anyone is interested in knowing more. It goes into the Chicago Terminal era.
I received no money from the book and it sold out quickly but might be available on the secondary market. The MRHA is considering reprinting it and I have an update to go with it.

At Fatehpur Sikri: the Peerless Pool (Anup Talao) occupies a large space in the courtyard in front of the Emperor's Palace, the Khass Mahal. Apparently Emperor Akbar would relax sitting on the deck in the middle surrounded by sweet perfumes etc.
This view is from the Khass Mahal. The square building in the distance is the Emperor's private audience chamber, the Diwan-i-Khas. It was pleasantly cool in the shade - outside it was exceedingly HOT!

Very old alarm clock made by Peerless. Encased in the original Bakelite case.
All parts, face and hands are original and presently this clock does not work.
I'm not certain of the exact age of this clock.

‘Peerless’ Jim Driscoll. Driscoll was a renowned boxer and is regarded by many as the finest exponent of scientific boxing the world has ever seen. Driscoll was well respected not only as a boxer but also as a man of great generosity who brought much credit to his native city (Cardiff, Wales). Although Driscoll’s memorial states that he was ‘retired featherweight champion of the world’, he never in fact achieved that title (despite beating the World Champion at that time (Abe Attell) in the US). Such was Driscoll’s popularity that 100,000 people lined the streets to watch his funeral cortege pass by. This statue was relocated in 2009 (due to works) but still remains in Cardiff City Centre and was unveiled in his new spot by Light-Welterweight Champion Ricky Hatton.
I love thes little glass signs, i was lucky enough to pick one up off a guy at a steam fair earlier this year and it now takes pride of place on my shelf. I want a projector to go with it tho!

I like this photo, as it is the only one I got that somewhat shows the dashboard layout. The wonderful 1930 Willys Plaidside Phaeton (only such Phaeton in existence) is behind the Peerless.

In 1919 the British Army found itself short of armoured cars when many were needed quickly to police various trouble spots around the world. Few manufacturers wanted to do war work at the time but the Austin Motor Company of Birmingham agreed to provide armoured bodies if the War Office could come up with suitable chassis.
Austin had made armoured cars during the war, mostly for the Imperial Russian Government which favoured a twin turret design. Some of these cars later served with the Tank Corps. The best chassis that the War Office could come up with was the Peerless, of which stocks were available. The Peerless was a robust, chain-drive chassis manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio which had been used in large numbers as lorries by the British Army during the war. In fact the chassis was too long for the Austin body, leaving a good deal sticking out at the back.
In reality it did not make a very good armoured car. It was too big, too unwieldy and slow while the crew got a rough ride on solid tyres. However it was durable and quite a few were still in service when the Second World War began. Peerless armoured cars saw service in Ireland, as food convoy escorts in London during the General Strike and with Royal Tank Corps Territorial Armoured Car Companies.
During painting in 1984 number 5035-CF was found below radiator flap and 31 on offside door.
Vehicle chassis is the standard 2.5 ton Peerless TC4 chassis and the armoured body an Austin design of 1918. Drive to rear wheels is by sprocket and chain. First car to have controls duplicated at back so allowed the vehicle to reverse easily in an emergency. Used in Irish Civil War, 7 of them handed over to National Army after treaty of 1921. These remained in service until 1934. After this the armoured bodies and guns utilized on locally produced AFVs.

A Southern Freight charges past the old Peerless Woolen Mills complex and through the grade crossing at McFarland Ave. in downtown Rossville, GA.
Built in the early 20th century, the million square foot Peerless Mills complex was an active textile manufacturing site until the mid-1960s, employing as many as 3,000 people. The dormant factory complex is now quite run-down and has recently been auctioned for less than the cost of a small house. Although renovations and hazard remediation would certainly cost a fortune, here's hoping that the new owners can somehow find a way to preserve this important piece of the city's manufacturing history....and a great prop for a railroad photo!
Closed when Peerless went out of business. Became HomeGoods in August 2000.
if you don't know about Peerless, here's something ahout them: Peerless was a Providence, Rhode Island based Department store that went out of Business back in 1990. Lincoln Mall (Where HommeGoods is now) was one of their stores. They had stores in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.
