A six-sided polyhedron is called a perfect hexahedron if its sides and diagonals have integer length. \textit{B. E. Peterson} and \textit{J. H. Jordan} [Am. Math. Mon. 102, 41-45 (1995; Zbl 0822.51010)] asked if there are infinitely many perfect hexahedra with two opposite parallel congruent rectangular faces and four congruent trapezoidal faces. In the present paper the author answers this question affirmatively.
