HCS Stutz automobile original drawings motor meter emblem

[Seabolt70]

Hi guys! 

I've been trying to figure out some more information on a drawing I found recently. This is an original design drawing for the HCS Special. The back has "motormeter" written in pencil or crayon? Signed Zwick? I have it currently listed on eBay but I'm trying to add some information for buyers! Any help would be wonderful!

HELLO,  what is the ebay link?  i did not see it on my first search.  thanks  keith

i cannot remember. i had a 1920 HCS.  i think there was a year where the special was not on the emblem.   perhaps this is the design to add the word special.  1920 to 1924 were the years of production.

That's the link. I definitely priced it up just to make sure I protected myself from giving it away before I found out more information! Thanks!

i sold a complete HCS dash with script ignition etc to a Stutz group that owns that building in Indiana.  has been many years. perhaps also share to the Stutz group here on aaca.org.       it is a neat item.

but it states 1919 with plans for 1920.  perhaps i am wrong about special not being the emblem at one time. i remember a change but perhaps it was a color combination change.

From the research I've done it seems Harry Stutz left Stutz motor company in 1919, so I figured this was part of his pre production process before producing his first 1920 HCS. It's definitely an awesome piece! Thanks for your information!
