Technical

This car is equipped with the new Stutz vertical eight engine and safety chassis, developed with the influence of Frederick E. Moskovics who became president of Stutz in 1925. The engine is a nine-main-bearing SOHC dual ignition eight developing in 1928, 115 BHP (or 95). The chassis is centrally lubricated and features an underslung worm drive which allowed for low and sensuous bodies. The bodies were made by different coachworks, this one was probably made by Phillips Body of Warren, Ohio. The Stutz company produced expensive, quality, fast cars in low numbers. It is one legendary Marque in the American automotive history. The company made its reputation with the racing car Bearcat and Indianapolis 500. The firm was founded by Harry C. Stutz in 1910 first under a different name but in 1913, under Stutz Motor Car Company. In 1934, like a lot of luxury car makers, the company closed after the great depression. The firm was known for promoting innovations in their cars like hydraulic brake system, low-gravity center chassis and safety glass.
