When we discovered our Stutz Schumacher Special, it took me 4 months to get the basic history. That was with an id plate on the car with the builders name, and many period photos that had already been published in CCCA newsletters so it was semi "famous". 7 years later people are still sending me period photographs or bits of information. The Internet was alive and well in 2005 and it was still a lot of work. The process of finding the history on this car could take some time.
