The modern-day Indianapolis 500 takes about three hours to complete. When the inaugural took place, it was called the 'International 500 Mile Sweepstakes.' It was a difficult and grueling race that took six hours and forty-two minutes to finish. The average speed was 74.602 mph.
A Stutz finished in 11th place and completed the race without making a pit stop for anything other than fuel and tires. The car had just been completed by its designer, Harry C. Stutz, who entered the car as part of a promotional campaign to show the reliability of the design to the American public. The car's success began the legendary motto, 'The Car That Made Good in a Day.'
Within a few years, Stutz became a dominant force in the motor racing scene.
By 1917, all Stutz models were powered by four-cylinder engines of Stutz's own manufacture, which included sixteen-valve cylinder heads.
This Model G Close-Coupled Touring car has been driven 76,100 miles. Power is from a four-cylinder monobloc engine with four valves per cylinder, offering 80 horsepower. There is a three-speed rear-mounted manual transaxle and two-wheel mechanical rear brakes. It is an original car that features restored paint and upholstery dating back to the late 1980s. In 2009, a new folding top and top boot were added.
In 2009, this Touring car was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Hershey presented by RM Auctions where it was expected to sell for $75,000 - $100,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the lot had been sold for the sum of $66,000, including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2009
