Claim: The Peerless Motor Company started in 1900 and in 1902 the first front-mounted engine vehicles were produced, in 1904 they designed a racecar and in 1931 the last Peerless vehicle was made.
Evidence: The Peerless Motor Car Company was an American automobile manufacturer that produced the Peerless brand of motorcars in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1900 to 1931. The first Peerless-branded vehicles appeared in 1902, with a front-mounted engine driving the rear wheels through a shaft. In 1904, Mooers designed the Green Dragon racecar and enlisted Barney Oldfield to drive it. A single V16-engined 1931 Peerless was finished in June 1931, the last Peerless ever produced.
