was "The car that made good in a day."
That day was at the first Indianapolis 500, in May of
1911. Harry Stutz built a car in five weeks, entered it in
the race and finished eleventh. That wasn't good
enough to win any money, but it was good enough to produce
an advertising slogan. The Stutz Company was not a mass
producer of automobiles, but instead made limited numbers
of fast cars. The most famous was the legendary
Stutz Bearcat of 1913, a true sports car. One legend
claims that Stutz intentionally installed clutches with
such stiff springs that women couldn't use them.
Stutz produced between 2000 and 5000 cars annually during
the twenties. In 1932 the Bearcat name was revived
for a speedster guaranteed to surpass 100 mph, but in 1934
only six cars left the factory, and in January 1935 the
company announced that it was quitting car production to
make delivery vans. The Stutz Company was dissolved
in 1939. |
