This Stutz was given the convertible coupe body, style number MB-47, on the long-wheelbase Model MB chassis. In the 1980s, it was acquired by the late Richard Sahlin of Michigan, who elected to install an original DV-32 engine and modified the body with various design cues inspired by Rollston of New York City. This design existed in company literature but is never believed to have been built in period.

Much of the Stutz's original LeBaron body remained intact. The beltline was changed slightly and the windshield that had been lowered and raked in the 1950s, was left in that form.

The car was later owned by Robert Bahre, Noel Thompson, and the Milhous Brothers. In 1990 it earned an Antique Automobile Club of America National First Prize and a Senior Premier First Prize in Classic Car Club of America National judging. At the Milhous Collection sale in 2012, the car was acquired by its current caretakers.
