Today was a very great day for me. I got to see my dream car up and personal. Near my place of employment there was a car show and naturally I went there on my lunch. At the car show I nearly had a stroke seeing my dream car, a Stutz Blackhawk. It was a 1975 model once owned by Johnnie Taylor. The Stutz Blackhawk was stunning. I was blown away looking at it. I even got to talk to the nice lady who owned the car. We had a pleasant conversation about the Stutz. I was even more stoked when I saw that the car had the OEM Stutz keys. You can't even get those anymore. The interior was superb much more luxurious than cars today. It even had a bar in the back seat. The owner said the car is going to a museum that she didn't name. It was a great car that I finally got to see in person. Here is a link to the car from the Stutz Registry

I agree that the Stutz Blackhawk is one of the most stunning vintage cars I've ever seen. If I'm not mistaken, the first artist I knew who drove the 1975 model of Stutz Blackhawk was Elvis Presley.

I believe it was Elvis Presley's first car, Junior. :) The Duesenberg was supposed to be his first car, if I'm not mistaken. He ordered one, but unfortunately, production never started so he bought the Stutz Blackhawk, instead.
