ceresma Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hello,This is supposed to be a 1928 Stutz BB but I have never seen one with the rear and doors like this. It does not appear to have a rumble seat or top.ThanksMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 It is a homebuilt. May have started life as a roadster or speedster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBoyle Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I agree. The rear looks like an overgrown Triumph TR 2 or 3. Either a way to fix crash damage or a misguided attempt to modernize it in the late 40s-early 50s.

K8096 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 That does look like the correct windshield frame and base from a roadster or touring car; so my hypothosis is that the car was cut down into a truck at some point, and then rebuilt as you see it now.

Guest RC45 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The backside seems indeed to be home-build; this car is now for sale in France at prewarcar.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The rear fenders look like XK120 Jag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceresma Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 i think I will keep looking, Thanks for all the responses, If anyone knows the location of a good open car I'd be very interestedThanksMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I can't read the plate but I'm going to guess this picture is from the 40s or 50s. The magazine it came from is 1976. There was no information on the car other than to point out how everybody wanted to copy Mercedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Btw, I just noticed it is sporting a mid-30s Graham bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Man Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 To be specific a 1934 (second series) model 67 or 69 eight cylinder Graham Bumper. OK that sounds pretty specific, wide bumper 4 3/4" is eight cylinder, only second series 1934 had bumper bolts exposed. As a side note the bumper was referred to as the "Mae West" bumper.

pughs Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) This Stutz belonged to Jean Gorjat of Harrisburg PA before he passed away. I don't know where it is now. Edited April 27, 2017 by pughs typo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
