Steve, 1926 and 1927 Stutzes came with Timken Hydrostatic brakes which used rubber bags filled with water. Almost all Stutzes have been converted to hydraulic brakes. I have a Stutz with "water" brakes and they work just fine, but most people are not willing to go to the expense of restoring them. One of my 1927 Stutzes is a brougham and it is, by far, my favorite car. Steve 1925 Stutz sedan 1926 Stutz sedan 1927 Stutz sedan 1926 Stutz limousine 1927 Stutz Brougham 1929 Blackhawk sedan
