“In 1928 Gustav was approached by the son of a wealthy New York businessman. Earlier in the year Frank Lockhart had set a land speed record in his Stutz Blackhawk special and this gentleman wanted a closed circuit speed car built using a Stutz Chassis. Using a $10,000 deposit a new 1928 Stutz BB chassis and engine was acquired through the Stutz of New York dealer located on Broadway in NY City. Construction was time consuming and the stock market crash in 1929 led to a drastic reduction in the client’s cash situation. With his original customer gone, Gustav completed the car using his own funds as time permitted.”

It makes me immeasurably happy that cars like this can still be found in barns. It always seems like everything’s been found.

Safety here would’ve been lame.

I think they lightened it by omitting seat belts.
