This Duplex was for sale, by Vintage Motors.

In August 2004, I had the chance to see this very first four-door-model of Stutz.

The Museum in Sarasota, Florida, shows a lot of other interesting cars, for example the Iso-Rivolta Varedo,
but, of course, the Duplex was the most interesting car.

Unfortunately it was impossible to get the car out of the museum, I would have liked to take some pictures at daylight, but it was no problem to open the hoods, or doors.

The interior shows a lot of details that you can't find in any other Blackhawk.
Have a look at the position of the shifter!

A very interesting detail was the plate with the VIN:

The date of manufacturing isn't stated, but it names, next to the VIN the color: MAROON!
Well, today, the car is white, but we saw a maroon Duplex on a sales-sheet.

But why did Stutz state the color?
Were there some more Duplex-cars???
If there was only one, so this car has belonged to George Norman...

More than a decade later, Hyman Ltd. bought the Duplex and started to restore the car, including a new paint job, now it is black.

In 2019, Hyman shipped the car to Germany, listing the car for an auction during the Essen Techno Classica.

Of course, I took the chance to see the Stutz, again, and to take some new photos.

Later, the car appeared at a classic-car dealer in The Netherlands, and was immediately sold to Mr. Hilhorst.
