This handsome Stutz traces history within the collecting hobby back to the 1960s. It was first displayed at a VMCCA Meet at Newport, Rhode Island, by Mr. A.G. Bissell, in freshly restored condition, and received a First Place award. Following this triumph, the car later spent considerable time on display at a museum in the Midwest. In the mid-1990s, this Stutz left static storage and is reported to have received an engine rebuild by respected mechanical engineer Paul Freehill, which included fitting high-compression aluminum pistons before embarking on a period of active tour use.

Between the mid-1990s and 2018, this Roadster was campaigned routinely on the Mozart and Modoc events, and was continually improved aesthetically and technically by Mosier Restorations Inc. as well as its then-owner, Mark Morton. Work during this period included replating the nickel brightwork, powder coating the wheels, refurbishing the starter and generator, and giving attention to the cooling system to ensure the car was consistently reliable on these tours.

In 2018, Stan Lucas purchased the car privately to join his impressive roster of the marque, and in doing so, he added a definitive detachable-head version to the line. Unquestionably an older restoration, it still presents well in its nicely mellowed burgundy paint, and with its formerly proven running gear making it worthy of consideration by Stutz enthusiasts.
