Stutz Blackhawk II
The second series of the Stutz Blackhawk, which was only produced in 1972, was completely redesigned. The lines, while still bearing all of the classic elements of Exner’s basic design, were less complex and therefore easier (and cheaper) to manufacture.
Vehicle Overview
The Stutz Blackhawk II was produced by the in-house carrozzeria Saturn and was again based on General Motors’ G platform. The dimensions of the second Blackhawk – and thus also the wheelbase – were now exactly matched to those of the Pontiac Grand Prix. The windshield (now without a separating middle bar) and side windows corresponded to the Pontiacs, as did the small side window behind the doors, which is a special feature only of this series. The spare wheel was still placed on the trunk as standard, but it was no longer used as a replacement for a bumper. The car now had a full-width bumper with wide taillights embedded in it. It was taken over from the Pontiac Grand Prix and only slightly alienated by subsequently attached chrome struts. A special feature of this year was the so-called hump trunk or the tonneau: a metal attachment on the trunk lid that broke through the lines of the car and aimed to increase the trunk volume. This clumsy looking element replaced the spare wheel. It was rarely ordered; Experts speak of five to six copies. Regardless of the style that takes getting used to, hump-trunk models are in great demand today.
