Stutz Blackhawk IV
The The Stutz Blackhawk IV built by Carrozzeria Saturn.
Vehicle Overview
The Stutz Blackhawk IV: The fourth series of the Stutz Blackhawk was produced by Carrozzeria Saturn from 1980 to 1986. After the Pontiac Grand Prix had already experienced a noticeable downsizing in the 1978 model year and had become an intermediate model, when the supply of 1977 Pontiacs was exhausted, Stutz used the full-size models from General Motors for the new series. The base vehicles were the two-door versions of the GM-B platform. Two different types were used: Up until the end of 1984 it was Oldsmobile 88 Coupés, after they were discontinued, the technically identical versions of the Pontiac Parisienne that were still in production were used from 1985 to 1986. The styling of the Stutz Blackhawk IV changed significantly. The cars were now significantly shorter than their direct predecessors. The proportions in particular had shifted significantly. The bonnet was noticeably shorter; instead, the passenger cell grew, which now corresponded to the dimensions of the base vehicle. The roof section of the Oldsmobile Coupés was taken over unchanged, only the rear Opera window was closed, giving the impression of a very massive B-pillar. The rear section was significantly higher, it had massive chrome-plated bumpers, the round tail lights were now arranged above the bumper. It took up a design that had been developed for the IV Porte sedan in 1977. Aside from that, the Blackhawk models of the fourth series continued to sport the now traditional features such as free-standing headlights, imitation sidepipes and curved chrome strips in the style of fenders. In terms of drive technology, Stutz also made a reduction. Instead of the 7.5 liter eight-cylinder used in the third series, engines with a displacement of 5.0 or 5.7 liters were now used as standard. However, special requests from customers continued to be implemented here as well. Some fourth series vehicles were fitted with a 6.6 liter engine and there is a single report of a vehicle with a 5.7 liter Oldsmobile diesel engine.
