I’ll be in New Jersey next week......what town are you in?
We are from Mountainside, but my parents own a restaurant in Stanhope, it’s called Bells Mansion, you can stop by anytime and ask for Jack, I’m sure he’ll gladly share a glass of wine with you and show you the car.

Thanks for posting the picture – you have a lovely car.
Those identification plates can be difficult to read. Yours probably says M8-23-SY55A, with the ‘S’ looking like an ‘8’.
M8-23-SY55A breaks down into 1929 or 1930 car (M8) - with 2 seater convertible bodywork (23) , on the shorter, 134.5 inch chassis, which is numbered 30557 - (SY55A).
The chassis number should be stamped vertically, on the end the rear right dumbiron. If the car is together, one must remove the right bumper attachment plate to get at it.
Your car is definitely a 1929 Stutz because it was the 557thcar built with a 134.5inch chassis. There are no Stutz build records, but at a guess your car was built before June 1929.
Good luck with the restoration!
You were right! The number is 28273, I’m so happy this car is in good hands. I’m doing a professional restoration, in a Duisenberg, Cadillac, Puckers, & Stutz. I’m so happy, she’s going to look amazing in the next 7-8 months.

Thank you both!!

Thank you for the quick reply! We appreciate it very much, we definitely be reaching out soon.
We are located in Northern New Jersey, but we had bought it in Naples(Florida, not Italy).
The Stutz is an M8 Convertible, the engine is also a V8.
This picture was taken over 40 years ago, right now we are hoping that someone notices anything about the photo. The car probably spent most of its life in Colts Neck, New Jersey.

Hey guys! My father just bought a Stutz and we were wondering if anyone can give us any info. The vin number is M8-238Y55A. We love the fact that there is so much information here already. Right now we are trying to find out how to join the Stutz club, we have no clue. Reading your information and this forum has been a treat. Thanks for your time! We are so happy we could own such a gorgeous piece of American history.
