1931 Stutz Model SV-16 Cabriolet Coupe

This Stutz was first restored by a former owner named Mendal Evans and afterward received an AACA First Junior in Hagerstown, Maryland, in 1970 and then an AACA Senior Award in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

This Convertible Coupe is thought to be one of only three extant 1931 Stutz SV-16s and is equipped with Bijur chassis lubrication, dual ignition, an overhead-cam straight-eight, a worm-gear rear end, four-wheel hydraulic brakes with servo assist, and an all-aluminum body.

This car has been driven just 200 miles since the restoration in the early 1970s. The odometer shows less than 82,000 miles which is believed to be original.

The car has had a recent mechanical going-over which included a carburetor and distributor rebuild, a relined gas tank, and an engine tune-up. Since the initial restoration, the cabriolet roof has been replaced, the car has been repainted, the interior has been reupholstered, and the electrical system has been updated.
