1928 Stutz

One of the legendary marques of American automotive history is the Stutz, built in Indianapolis, Indiana from 1911 to 1935. The company made its reputation at the Indianapolis ‘500.’ It built upon that reputation with a series of both sporting and luxurious automobiles. Stutzes were always fast cars – and they were expensive. This convertible coupe (with body by Phillips Body of Warren, Ohio) cost $3,700 new. A Stutz Black Hawk was America’s fastest production car in 1928, average 106.53 mph at Daytona. The 1928 Stutz BB Vertical Eight chassis was powered by an in-line, straight eight engine that developed 110 horsepower.
