1929 Stutz Blackhawk
Stutz introduced its Blackhawk series in January 1929 and it was in production through 1930. This car was exported to Argentina where it was sold by a Stutz dealership owned by famed heavyweight boxer Luis Angel Firpo known as “The Wild Bull of the Pampas”. The car was returned to the U.S. in 1978 and eventually acquired by its current owner, who restored the car. The unique body style – a four passenger speedster for a Blackhawk – was designed by LeBaron Carrorssiers.
