In 1928 Stutz offered increased performance and safety compared to the competition. This BB Speedster has innovative features such as shatter-proof glass and hydraulic brakes reaching all four wheels.
In 1927 two experimental Black Hawk Speedsters raced at Indianapolis and many stock car races. 1928 proved the most successful year for Stutz taking a second place at Le Mans with a Black Hawk Speedster.
With its sharp boat tail body with coachwork by Robbins, cycle fenders, jaunty fold flat windshield and twin side-mounted spares give this Stutz an undeniably exciting appearance. It is one of the few American cars of the late 1920s that looks and performs like a genuine sports car! Open the cutout and it sounds like a serious contender for the Indy 500.
Despite certain cosmetic imperfections, the cars 1988 AACA National First has held up quite well. We believe the body to be new coach work done to exact specs and standards of the original. The Black paint for example, is very presentable, although upon close inspection shows relatively minor signs of shrinkage and other imperfections. The cars overall appearance, however, remains generally unaffected. As for the chrome it is show quality and very nice. The upholstery and top are still in excellent condition. The red leather upholstery serves as an elegant complement to the black exterior. The dash presents very nicely and is quite clean and generally flawless.
This Stutz was built to be driven. It is equipped with a overdrive so it will go down the road with ease. With its strong credentials it should continue to bring years of enjoyment for its owner. Whether it be a car show or a rally this car will attract much attention wherever it goes.
