Trying their hardest to make a desirable product, undesirable.

Presuming you're talking about the 70s version IMO it was very much a car of its time and it wasn't a good time for American car design. I think we've discussed this in the context of the Mustang. The Stutz looks like what it is, a Pontiac Grand Prix with bad teeth . From the same period I'd take BMW 3.0CS in any configuration anyday. Exner designed the first Studebaker post war Starlight coupe which I don't thing anybody thinks are as consequential as others of the period.Petrol Head wrote:Stutz Blackhawk.
