When Motoring Was An Absolute Adventure.

This is a 1912 Stutz Bearcat Model A. According to records with the Stutz Club, this is the oldest Stutz car known to exist. It was built in Indianapolis in 1911 as a 1912 model. It was the # 63 car produced by Stutz. This car is identical to one run in the 1911 Indianapolis 500 race where it finished in #11 place. They added fenders and lights to this one and termed it to be a street car. All of the accessories are accurate and complete
It has a 4 cylinder engine putting out 50 HP. It would run 80 MPH. Can you imagine being in this thing going 80 MPH? Not me, brother.

Can only imagine what that horn sounded like. Beautifully restored.
Hi, Barbara.
I know enough about the restoration game to fully appreciate the huge amount of money and time sunk into this venture. Like you, I'm impressed.

I think trying to drive one today would probably still be an absolute adventure - but I really appreciate those arresting, excellent shots ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice photos of that gorgeous car!! Do you happen to have one of the steering wheel? I am trying to see what that half circle item is.

Hi, Dodie
I blew up another picture that had the steering wheel in it so that the feature you inquire about is clearly shown. It's not the best picture but it was blown up quite a bit.
My guess is that feature is some sort of spark advance for the engine.
