1912Staver Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 It's from a Stutz Vertical Eight. Made several years after Stutz stopped making Bear Cat's. Probably a relatively early Vertical 8, 1928 ? Series AA or BB ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana Baker Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 So I was hoping to be directed where the best place to post to sell this. Is there a different site to get more information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 eBay. It is worth 200-500 dollars. Looks like AA or BB to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM H. S. Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Hi Diana, Within this forum on the far Right hand side, you can scroll down and find the STUTZ section where you might connect with folks / owners who could help you find a buyer or advise where to sell this. Perhaps post more pictures; such as full view, reverse side, side view, etc. Best Wishes, Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of doing a thread on all the annoying things newbies do. This poster might qualify on two counts. 1. Bad obscure pictures. 2. Hit and Run. And my apologies in advance if she returns with good pictures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The Fedco plate starts with BBB then maybe SSS SIX UUU ??? In the big name there is BSTUTZ I would lean to the BB series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbeach Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Answer to @28 Chrysler I would lean to the BB series If the plate were to be cleaned a little it would be easier to read. In the foreground is the STUTZ name. In the background is the FEDCO ID for the car which is a random selection of letters and numbers. There is no correlation of the id and year or model of the car it is attached to. I believe the id on this plate is B S 6 4 D. Letters are repeated 3 times and numbers are spelled out above the id, so this one reads accross the top as BBB SSS SIX FOUR DDD. The code to translate this to numbers is D E S C H W A B L Y (D = 1 through y = zero). For this car the title ID would be 83641. This id would also be stamped at two locations on the frame. Chrysler used a similar system with a different code. If the title were to be altered it would be possible to determine the original number. This is a gauge panel from a 1926 Stutz This is a gauge panel from a 1927 Stutz This is a gauge panel from a 1928 Stutz. Each of these panels are a one year only.

Diana Baker Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 Yes, I’m interested in finding out more about this dash. No I’m not forgetting to reply back. I’m in contact with a few antique car dealers and waiting for their replies. So I am new at this so who ever is telling me I’m not following through your mistaken. So please I will send more pics in the morning. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbeach Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Thanks Diana. It would also be helpful to know the general location of the dash. Do not need an address just area - Northern California, North Dakota etc. You have my contact information. Look forward to your reply. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana Baker Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) I am in Geneva,Ohio here are a few more pictures. I’m afraid to clean it because I don’t want to mess anything up.

kbeach Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Correction on gauge panel years. Looks like I have put the wrong years for the 1926 and 1927 gauge panels. Thanks to @pughs for bring this to my attention. We have spent the last couple of days comparing FEDCO numbers and engine numbers trying to determine which month of production the change between the panels occurred. Every time we thought we had it figured out we would find another car that disproved our theory. For now, the best we can come up with is in July 1926, Stutz started using the FEDCO system. These cars would have a white gauge panel like the one @Diana Baker has posted here. Our best guess is that this panel was used through early to mid 1927. Also a guess is that some cars could have been held up during production (waiting for a body or ?) allowing a car with the newer dash panel to pass one with the earlier 1926 white face one. Remember, this is a low production car, not high volume Ford or Chevrolet. One last comment for @28 Chrysler. Very observant noticing that the first letter was a B. I should have explained that "B" indicates that this car was built on a 131" wheel base. Had the first letter been an "A" it would indicate the car was built on the 145" wheel base.
