Stutz IV Porte
The Stutz IV Porte four door sedan.
Vehicle Overview
The Stutz IV Porte: The first Stutz series sedan was the Model IV Porte, which was introduced at the end of 1978 and for a time was produced in parallel with the Blackhawk Series 3. The name of the sedan was reminiscent of the Maserati Quattroporte. Paolo Martin, former Pininfarina (known for the Ferrari Modulo concept car) was responsable for the design. Unlike the Duplex, the Stutz IV (or 4) Porte was technically not an extended Blackhawk, but an independent model. It was based on the 1977 version of the four-door Pontiac Bonneville, the so-called B platform from General Motors. The wheelbase, passenger cell and drive technology were adopted unchanged; the same applied to the shape of the doors and the glass sections. The well-known design features of the Stutz were transferred to this template. Built in Italy by Carrozzeria Saturn, the rear end was slightly higher than the version of the Blackhawk Series 3. The IV-Porte was warmly received by the customers. About 50 vehicles were built in a short time. One of the first buyers was singer Kenny Rogers.
