Size: 185mm wide 58mm high    MM: None

The Blackhawk was made by Stutz but was introduced in 1929 as a separate marque to keep it apart from the more expensive and more powerful cars in the Stutz line. The name Blackhawk was chosen to give an association with the powerful Stutz Black Hawk speedsters.

The Blackhawk was offered as either an 85 hp six-cylinder model or a 90 hp eight-cylinder model, with both models available in a wide range of body styles. By the end of 1929, only 1,310 Blackhawks had been sold. Production dropped to 280 cars in 1930 and the Blackhawk was discontinued by the end of 1930.

Emblems

The Blackhawk carried a painted, cast metal emblem mounted on the headlight bar in the center of the radiator and a small painted emblem mounted on the front bumper, see below:
