Suppose you were willing to pay $20,000 for an automobile made to your order, the last word in style, beauty and performar.ce-with-safety. In writing your specifications, you would want to answer all the questions listed below: 1. Would you subject yourself and your family to the dangers of flying glass? Or would you equip your $20,000 automobile with safety glass all around? / would □ Ordinary glass have Q Safety glass Safety glass all around was pioneered by Stutz four years ago. 2. Would you be content with the ordinary threespeed transmission? Or would you prefer the more modern four-speed transmission? / would O Ordinary three-speed transmission have r-| Transmission with four speeds forward The Stutz transmission, with four speeds forward, provides superior performance and longer car life. The trend is toward four speeds. 3. Would you be satisfied with the conventional car which rolls backward on inclines when brakes are released? Or would you prefer Stutz Noback, which automatically prevents undesired backrolling on inclines? /mohHQ Ordinary car without Noback have r-j The added protection of Noback 4. Would you select the conventional L-head type of engine? Or would you insist upon having the increased efficiency of the valve-in-head engine? / would □ Conventional type, L-head engine have f-] Advanced type, valve* in -head engine The Stutz valve-in-head line-eight engine is not only more powerful, it is also quiet, smooth and economical. 5. Would you accept valves actuated by rocker arms, with their greater noise and greater area of wearing surfaces? Or would you insist upon having the overhead camshaft with its directacting, simple and quiet valve operation? / would 0 Conventional push-rods and rockerarms have rj Stutz silent overhead camshaft As compared with rocker-arm valve mechanism, the Stutz overhead camshaft eliminates 192 wearing surfaces. 6. Would you be content with the single ignition found in ordinary cars? Or would you prefer dual ignition with two spark plugs for each cylinder, insuring greater power and economy? I would Q Single ignition have fj Dual ignition Dual ignition is one of the many features of advanced engineering found on Stutz and Blackhawk. 7. Would you want your engine to have the less efficient single carburetion as originally designed for four-cylinder cars? Or would you prefer the greater engine efficiency made possible by dual carburetion? / would □ A single carburetor have [J Dual carburetion Dual carburetion and dual intake contribute to the outstanding performance of Stutz and Blackhawk cars. 8. Would you be willing to have an automobile equipped with ordinary oil and grease cups? Or would you like the latest, Stutz one-thrust chassis lubrication system which feeds oil to all moving parts of the chassis in one operation? I would HI Ordinary oil and grease cups have [~ J One-thrust lubrication system One-thrust chassis lubrication is among the many convenience features of the Stutz and Blackhawk. 9. Would you expect your $20,000 automobile to be equipped with ordinary headlights? Or would you prefer Ryan-Lites, which give long range without dangerous glare and which give side-illumination with added protection for night driving? / would \3 Ordinary headlights have Q New and improved Ryan-Lites Ryan-Lites, standard equipment on Stutz and Blackhawk, are the only automobile lights that meet all legal requirements everywhere. 10. Would you be content with the conventional bevel gear drive? Or would you have the improved worm drive rear axle which permits the floorboards to be lowered 20 per cent and lowers the center of weight of the entire car? / would C3 Conventional rear axle have [~J Worm drive rear axle NEW SERIES SAFETY STUTZ BLACKHAWK CARS Worm drive is one of the fundamentals of StutzBlackhawk advanced engineering. 11. Would your made-to-order car be of the conventional type, with a relatively high center of weight? Or would you build safety into your car by lowering the center of weight? / would O Conventional car, relatively unsafe have rj Safety Stutz with low center of weight Stutz low center of weight, made possible by worm drive, means better readability, greater ease of control, improved riding, greater performance and greater safety. 12. Would you be content with the ordinary type of chassis frame, which yields to torsional strains? Or would you insist upon having a massive double-drop frame providing utmost safety? / would O Ordinary chassis frame haoe G Massive double-drop frame The Stutz double-drop frame has seven cross members, five of them tubular. 13. Would you have ordinary running boards suspended on brackets and hence easily collapsible in case of side collision? Or would you feel safer with Stutz side-bumper steel running boards built integral with frame? I would □ Running boards suspended on brackets have [-] Side-bumper steel running boards integral with frame Stutz side-bumper steel running boards integral with the frame protect the occupants of the car in case of side-collision. 14. Would you specify conventional brakes with just ordinary braking power? Or would you feel safer with Stutz Feathertouch Booster Brakes? I would O Ordinary conventional brakes have rj Feathertouch Booster Brakes Stutz is safest because it can stop in three fifths the distance required by conventional cars. Of course you would want all the advantages listed above if you purchased a $20,000 madeto-order car. But think how much easier it is to get them in a Stutz or Blackhawk. Stutz has them all and instead of paying $20,000, you pay $2,995 to $8,500 for a Stutz or $1,995 to $2/735 for ° Blackhawk. In no other American car will you find this combination of features, this advanced engineering which has made Stutz the embodiment of perf orma nce-with-saf ety.
