ABANDONS OPE CONCENTRATION POLICY Prior to a few years ago the Stutz company concentrated its pro- | duction on open cars. However, with the introduction of its first six-cylin der models, the company determined to produce a complete Ine of en closed cars as well. In designing its six-cylinder chas- sis, the Stutz company determined to empower {ts six-cylinder cars so that the: would meet tho maximum re- quirements of the closed models, realizing that if this was accom. plished, the open cars, which are considerably lighter, would be amply provided for. Thus, standards of performanco were established for the Stutz closed cars which rivaled anything prev iously attained with opened model: Economy of operation, speed, powe on the hills, pickup—all were take into adcount, Headed by President Thompson, who, himself, droye the “pilot” car, tho fleet of Stutz speedway six en- closed models mado straightway for Uniontown, Pa, over the National highway, Record time was made on the outgoing leg of the tour, At Uniontown, tho cars wero set to work on that gruelling incline that has tosted the mettle of many PAR The doors are] wh Fleet of Stutz Six Motor Cars Finishes Grueling Trial were onclosed modols of the} rmance and} Accompanying Thompson on the} held closed with a do device which may be p loeking | cked. | With the screen sides and top, the |truck has a loading space of approx nately 114 cublo fest. ‘The body| four feet wide; seven feet two and has a loading | feet. | | n a now available Iw provides not | wo unit, but) truck-user several ations to choose from; | him to make selections | suited to hin par} nh complete hi » gives the Stutz Cars Establish New | The cars were put thru their paces on tho treacherous| grades of tho famous Unlontown hill under all concetvable clroum- {stances, With full passenger loads| jand a great deal of excess baggage, | |the cars were sent up the hill at| very low speeds on high gear, At! jthe watering trough, where tho| | Most precipitous part of the Incline starts, the cars were brought to al | dead stop, and without shifting out jot high, © directed up the hill} again, Furthermore, at the same| point, on some occasions after stop- ping the cars in high, they were made to turn around several tines Jon the steepest portion of the hill| | before attempting the remainder of |the ascent in high.
