1920 Stutz Series H Touring

'The car which made good in a day,' established in 1910 in Indianapolis. The Stutz took 11th place in the inaugural 1911 Indy 500 race. Stutz's first race car ran well, but flat tires were numerous. Accordingly, all Stutz vehicles were equipped with two spare tires until production stopped in 1934. Driver Barney Oldfield placed 3rd in the 1912 Indy 500. Stutz won the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in 1926 and placed 2nd in the 1929 Le Mans France 24 Hour race. Stutz is best known for the 'Bearcat' priced at $5,095 in 1930.
This 1920 touring car, one of 3,000 built, sold for $2,300. Model 'T' Fords sold for less than $400 at the time. Harry Stutz, an inventing engineer, pioneered the first rear axle/transmission combination unit used by this car. The four-cylinder engine uses four valves and two spark plugs per cylinder.
