My buddy got me involved in the world of antique cars( he rebuilt a 1919 Buick) and helped me find the Stutz. Little did I know that acquiring the car would be the easy part! I really do appreciate all the helpful advice and recognize this isn’t a hobby for the novice or ill informed. I’m going to better familiarize myself with this age of auto, ie, join the clubs, read the book(s)/ forum pages, attend any regional gatherings etc and hopefully join the ranks of the “legit” antique auto collectors. And just an fyi, the reason I’m asking these questions is because I acquired the Stutz via an estate sale where only distant relatives survived, the Stutz was transferred notarized bill of sale only so no title info(or any real info for that matter) and from what I can tell, no local history. It’s as if it’s a ghost or simply appeared. Nonetheless, I once again appreciate everything and I’ll update the post with some photos of the ol gal soon to get y’all’s opinion on the condition and potential restoration efforts.

Great advice and thanks. I’m just getting my feet wet in the world of antique autos so all info is good info for me. Quick follow up, if I was wanting to run a vehicle history report like a car fax, are there any sites specific that deal w antique autos? Thanks again

Curious if anyone can give me the info necessary to decode my 1932 Stutz Vin ID. Also hoping someone can provide a technical sheet or type of owners manual for the SV16. As always, thanks.

Thanks for the info. Would anyone have any idea what it’s worth, assuming it’s not locked up and can be restored?

I’m trying to identify this engine and after showing the pictures to a couple old gear heads, we believe it to be a Nash engine but I’m hoping someone can confirm what rendition of Nash it is, or identify if it is not.

Thanks for the info. This was bought from an estate where the former resident was a collector of both Nash and Stutz vehicles.

As you can see, it’ll need a restoration and has been sitting outside: however, it has been undercover and predominantly kept dry. I’ll get more pics for anyone interested. Located in western North Carolina. Willing to crate and freight or personally deliver, depending on price. Make me an offer.

What would you like measured on the distributor?

Referring to the turn signal? I really don’t know. I’ve not been able to find another example of it anywhere.

I can. Give me a couple hours to get home and unpack it. I will paste the following from an antique air expert I reached out to for info on the signal. “The Thullen Signal was first mentioned in December of 1920 when Grand Rapids Brass Co solicited to find distributors for the signal. It was an "after-market" device that could be used on most vehicles and thus was not specific to a certain make. I could find no mention of the signal beyond 1922. It is my guess that the signal did not really "take off" and thus was not available in the marketplace very long.”

Make me an offer.
