1933 Stutz SV32 convertible (SV16 similar)

The 1932-1936 Stutz SV16 was the less powerful of the two Stutz Eights (the other was the Stutz DV32) during the final years of the company.

The SV16 pumped out only 113 horsepower, but its two long chassis carried the same plush bodies as the more famous DV32, including the last of the Stutz Bearcat two-passenger speedsters.

Though the Stutz SV16 had a twin-ignition engine like the contemporary Nash unit, it wasn't particularly lively in light of curb weights well over two tons. The bodies, however, were magnificent. All Stutzes are CCCA Classics.
