1Title:  Peerless Motor Car Company Records     
 Creator:  Peerless Motor Car Company 
 Dates:  1911-1943 
 Abstract:  The Peerless Motor Car Company was founded as the Peerless Wringer and Manufacturing Company. in 1889 on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio. The company produced washing machine wringers into the late 1890's until it began bicycle production. In 1903, The Peerless Manufacturing Company. was renamed The Peerless Motor Car Company to reflect its new focus on automobile parts and construction. The company specialized in luxury car manufacturing and thrived for two decades. Peerless also profited from truck manufacture and sales, particularly during World War I. New marketing strategies, however, could not offset the economic decline of the Great Depression; the company dissolved in 1931 and its last president arranged to have the Carling Brewing Company use the factory to produce beer. The collection consists of appraisals, catalogs, correspondence, memoranda, and minutes.
