Dan Steckler worked for the Stutz dealership in California.

In 1976, the dealership had the idea to convert a non-selling green Blackhawk into the very first Stutz Convertible.

Perhaps one reason was that Rolls-Royce started the production of the Camargue,
so the standard Blackhawk wasn't the most expensive production car anymore.

The conversion of a coupe into a convertible is not just to cut off the roof.

As usual, Dan did also a lot of detailing in the interior.

Creating a canvas-top for a unique convertible is also a very special job.

The roll-out, before the car was sold to Evel Knievel.

Very impressive, like every Stutz...

The real convertible feeling, without a roll-bar.

The roll-bar was added to the production convertible, named Bearcat, due to safety laws.

Unfortunately, we still don't have the VIN of this car.

Another Stutz with license plate "Stutz 1"...
