FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While attending one of the premier Classic Car Shows on Long Island located in Old Westbury, New York at the Old Westbury Gardens I came across this beautiful 1926 Stutz Bearcat Car, but what caught my eye was the amazing detailed hood ornament that sat a top the radiator. This hood ornament was 89 years old and in mint condition with the exception of a couple of minor scratches. The soldier figure with his helmet on was so detailed and has stuck out as the "Bearcat". This is the famous Stutz Bearcat American Sportscar hood ornament. Embossed on the back is: S.M.C. Co of America; Indianapolis, pat. February 2, 1926.The historical Stutz is illustrated in Williams book #260. When I saw this amazing detailed hood ornament I came in as close as I could and set my camera to close up and fired away and got a beautiful detailed photo with a nice blurred out background.
