this is a much modified 1929 or 1930 Stutz Model M Two Passenger
Torpedo on the 134 1/2 inch wheelbase. The radiator shell is modified as
well as the hood ornament ( gone is the Egyptian deity Ra and a M-B tri-
star pokes up ), the solid front bumper is wrong, the rear fender leading
edge seems dolled up with chrome strips and the rear body contour of
the torpedo body may have bee changed. The following items remain as
identification guides: the free standing side mounted spare tire/wheel,
the aluminum step plate under the door, the cycle front fenders with the
mud flap, the Stutz fold down cast windshield , the low lying horizontal
hood louvres and the unique body mouldings on the cowl and body side.
These were painted in contrasting color to add artistic emphasis. The
sales catalogue for the Model M shows this car in light gray with red
wire wheels and leather seat. The Four Passenger Speedster had the
same cut down front door but the rear compartment entry doors had
horizontal top even with the belt line. It was available with or without
a tonneau cowl and windshield. These were very low production cars
but my most recent copy of the CCCA Handbook (2007) shows seven
(7) members with "speedster" models of the Model M of 1929 / 1930.
Some indicate Weymann bodies, others LeBaron . None specify the
"torpedo" body. Perhaps none exist except as this photo image and the
representations in the Stutz sales catalogue. Comments are welcome.
Sincerely, Jonathan Richards at Red Oak, Iowa aka <a href="mailto:[email protected]][email protected][/url]
P.S. -- Note the photo was taken at what appears to be a sports venue,
possibly an auto race track , and the car displays a front license plate
for OHIO for the year 1941 or 1947. jr
