This isn’t your run-of-the-mill ordinary car from the decade that changed automobiles. The Blackhawk was a special edition car that was unique even back then. With features like shag carpeting and a rear trunk-mounted spare tire, it’s easy to see why this car stands out from the crowd. The sales for the Stutz Blackhawk were never great, and this can partly be contributed to the fact that there was a fuel crisis at the time (via Below The Radar).

The Blackhawk was a novelty item when a new start-up released that couldn’t gain traction. The car had a polarizing design that was reminiscent of Cadillac and other luxury cars from the same time period. Nowadays, the Blackhawk is a major collector’s item and has gained a solid following. When the Blackhawk was new, consumers couldn’t appreciate the car, but the car is now more relevant than ever.
