1932 Stutz Model DV-32 Convertible Victoria

Stutz DV-32 wears Convertible Victoria coachwork by Rollston and is believed to have been originally shipped to New York. In the early 1950s, it was found in a parking garage in the Bronx. It is believed to have been left after its owner was killed during World War II. It was later acquired by Dr. Art Burrichter and later by the Imperial Palace Auto Collections of Las Vegas and was exhibited in their museum. The car was sold from the Imperial Palace to Michael Calore of Rhode Island, who began its restoration. The current caretaker acquired it shortly after the restoration started and continued the work. It was restored to its original condition and finished in ivory with a bronze chassis and wheels, tan leather upholstery, and a khaki soft top.

After the restoration was completed in 2001, it was shown at the AACA National competition, securing a Senior First Prize in its division. In Classic Car Club of America judging at the 2008 New Hampshire Grand Classic, it was judged a perfect 100 points and received its Senior badge no. 2636.
