The latter, combined with great reliability, enabled "Stutz" cars to shine in major competitions such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Indianapolis 500 and the Pikes Peap International Hill Climb. Production ceased in 1935, a victim of the Great Depression, In 1968, a New York financier, James O'Donnel, resurrected the brand by creating the company "Stutz Motor Car of America Inc." and entrusted the design of a first car to Virgil Exner, a former designer who had worked for Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler. The prototype was presented in January 1970 at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Manhattan, and made a strong impression. Produced from 1971 to 1987 in just 617 examples, the Stutz Blackhawk was, in 1973, the most expensive car in the world, with a price tag of $43,000. By comparison, the Cadillac Eldorado luxury version was priced at $8,000! Stutz Blackhawks were "hand-assembled" in Turin, Italy, on a Pontiac Grand Prix chassis, and powered by a 7.5-liter, 431 hp General Motors V8, supporting a weight of 2.3 tons! Famous owners include Elvis Presley, Paul McCartney, Al Pacino, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Junior, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Isaac Hayes and Elton John.
