Here are a couple of photos of a 1930 DuPont that I had for a time while selling it for the family of a friend who passed away.

Here are a couple of photos of Al Giddings' car before he owned it.

This Stutz belonged to Jean Gorjat of Harrisburg PA before he passed away. I don't know where it is now.

M8-24 is a Two-passenger Speedster with Rumble Seat (134 1/2 inch wheelbase). SY32H translates to 30325. 30325 is a 1929 serial number.

This car was used in several movies in the 1970's. It is in "Day of the Locusts" with Karen Black and In can be seen parked on the street in the last scenes of "China Town" where it is sort of a bluish color. I have been watching this car for more than 40 years. When I inquired about it either it wasn't for sale or they wanted way too much for it. Steve

This is a photo of my 1927 Model F 4 passenger coupe on the day it arrived at my shop. It came from Illinois although it seems to have spent a lot of time in Boyertown PA before going to Illinois.

Here is a very nice photo of a 1927 Stearns-Knight that I found online.

The car that Ray in CT sold was an "L".

Ron, Thank you for the photo. I am wondering if there is a clearer photo in existence somewhere. It's hard to really tell much about the paint from this one. Steve

Smile, If you find the photo of the Robbin-Chrome finish, please let me know. I would very much like to see a photo of it. Thanks. Steve

About 7 years ago I posted the following: Stutz promoted a new type of finish called Robbin-Chrome at the 1925 New York and Chicago auto shows. Two of the five Stutzes displayed, a phaeton and a sedan (1925 Series 695 Sportbrohm), were finished in the novel Robbins-sourced treatment. The Jan 8th and 23rd, 1925 issues of Motor Age described the Robbin-Chrome as "unusual and distinctive in that a mottled design of no uniform pattern was created on a smooth dark undercoat. An exceptionally high luster obtained with a special varnish gave the bodies a polished marble appearance." Has anyone ever seen this paint? Is there a decent picture of it anywhere? Since you are researching Robbins, if you run across any information about this paint, please let me know as I have been unable to find out anything about it. Thank you. Steve

I am also looking for some vintage filters. Where did you get the great chart? Are there more pages? Will you sell copies? Thanks. Steve

Rub on a very thin coat of linseed oil and let dry. Be care with the leftover rags because they can spontaneously combust if wadded up and left out in the air.

Hans, Are you sure you have a 1928 Stutz which would have an 8 cylinder engine. The serial number you supply is for a Series K car from late 1921 with a 4 cylinder engine. Steve

8E45E, Thank you for letting us know about additional Knight engined cars. There are probably a bunch more that I missed when I wrote the opening thread. Everyone should feel free to add to the list of cars using the Knight engine. Steve

Check the serial number of the car. Every fake boat tail Stutz that I have seen had a serial number that was definitely from a different body style.The 1927 Stutz boat tail for sale recently by a well-known sales organization showed a serial number that would have been found on a long wheelbase (145") seven passenger limousine.

M8-28-SY84B translates into a "Two-Passenger Speed Car (134 1/2 wheelbase)" with a serial number of 30848. I don't have a 1929 Stutz Model M catalog to see what a "Speed Car" looks like but the serial number is a 1929 number. Steve

You might try contacting the Willys Overland Knight Registry. They can probably direct you to the right person. If you own a Willy-Knight you really should be a member. Also, there is a fellow named Paul Calman, who I believe once worked for Art Aseltine, who says he has rebuilt sleeve-valve engines. I met him at a swap meet a year or two back and cannot tell you whether he is any good or not. Try WOKR.COM first. Steve
