1925 Stutz Model 695 Roadster

The Stutz Company, founded by Harry C. Stutz, got its start in 1911 when they built cars to compete at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's 500-mile race. The Stutz cars did not win the race, but they performed well and garnered publicity for the new car builder. After the race, the Ideal Motor Company was founded, and the production of one of the country's high-performance vehicles began. By 1913, the company had been renamed the Stutz Motor Car Company and produced four and six-cylinder models, including the Bearcat.

Harry C. Stutz left the company in 1919 after disagreements with the company's stockholders. He formed his own company, the H.C.S. The Stutz Company was taken over by the Bethlehem Steel Magnate Charles M. Schwab, and Frederick Moscovics was hired to transform the Stutz sports car into a proper luxury car.

This 1925 Stutz Model 695 has a Roadster body built by coachbuilder Weyman. Power is from a six-cylinder engine delivering 80 horsepower. This was the last year for the six-cylinder model. This Weyman Roadster is one of only two known to exist. It completed a tour of Northern Europe in 1997.
