In the early 1930s, Stutz doubled the number of valves per cylinder in its engine, resulting in a boost of horsepower by 40 percent from the base motor. It was known as the DV-32 for its 32 valves, and it was used to power vehicles that were adorned with an array of bodies.
Chassis number DV-21-1345 is one of the last examples built in 1931. As such, it wears slightly elliptical double-bar bumpers that nearly touch each other at either end, a feature that was only seen on the 1931 models.
The coachwork is a five-passenger sedan built on the 134.5-inch wheelbase frame, with an exterior that is finished in dark blue paint with yellow beltline accents. There are dual side-mount wire-wheel spares, whitewall tires, Ryan-Lite headlights, and chrome details. Inside, there is plush camel cloth with brown carpets, roll-up window shades, a folding footrest, and a lap robe rope. The driver's area features a finished console of burled wood veneers framed in wood grain sections.
Since new, this vehicle has been treated to a nut-and-bolt, ground-up restoration.
In 2011, the car was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was estimated to sell for $150,000 - $200,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for $170,500, inclusive of the buyer's premium.
This Stutz was once part of the A.K. Miller collection in West Orange, Vermont. It was later owned by John Lory of Hollywood, Florida, who undertook a meticulous restoration and exhibited the car at the CCCA's Florida Grand Classic in 2007, earning 99.5 points and a Primary First Place. It was later purchased by the Gateway Automobile Museum collection. In 2023, it entered new ownership after being sold at the Broad Arrow Monterey Jet Center auction.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2011
