Stutz
In Indianapolis, Indiana, the Stutz Motor Car Company produced high-end sports and luxury automobiles. Production lasted from 1911 through 1935.
Stutz was well-known for producing quick cars, notably the first sports car in America and, starting in 1924, opulent vehicles for the affluent and famous.
Under the direction of Stutz Motor Car of America, the brand was resurrected in 1968 and a series of vehicles with a contemporary vintage aesthetic was introduced. Although the business is still around, factory-produced car sales stopped in 1995.
Harry C. Stutz and his friend Henry F. Campbell founded Ideal Motor Car Company in June 1911 and started producing Stutz vehicles in Indianapolis. After an automobile manufactured by Stutz in less than five weeks and entered under the name of his Stutz Auto Parts Co. finished 11th in the Indianapolis 500, earning it the phrase "the car that made good in a day," they decided to launch this firm. Bear Cat is the name of the genuine racer, and Ideal created what amounted to duplicates of the racecar with fenders and lights added and sold them under the Stutz Bearcat model name.
One of the first multi-valve engines, the Bearcat's 389 cu in (6.4 L) Wisconsin brawny four cylinder T-head engine had four valves per cylinder and was paired with one of Harry Stutz's transaxles. Another invention that substantially improved the safety and handling of automobiles and is still in use today is "the underslung chassis,"[citation needed] which is ascribed to Stutz Motor. Prior to quitting racing in October 1915, Stutz' "White Squadron" race team won the national championships in 1913 and 1915.
