Car Spot: AMC Pacer
America's first wide small car, the AMC Pacer, this week's car spot.
Another swing for the fence car from America’s smallest automaker.
When you’re up against big car companies with big budgets and big lineups you have to do things differently as was the case for American Motors in the 70s. They were all about different in that time period first with the Gremlin in 1970 and then with the Pacer in 1975. This week’s car spot focuses on a 78 Pacer Wagon Mark spotted…

Elvis Presley’s 1971 Stutz Blackhawk
In 1961, Esquire magazine hit up famed former Studebaker and Chrysler designer Virgil Exner to envision what current-production cars from defunct luxury marques, i.e. Packard, Mercer, Duesenberg, and Stutz, would look like. Exner decided to produce a modern-day Duesenberg, but before the project could move forward, Fred Duesenberg secured the rights to the family name. The Duesey would not see the light of day.
Exner was undeterred, and decided to use the Stutz name, as it was in the public domain. Stutz began life in 1911 with production of the Stutz Bearcat, a pre-war sports and racing car. By the mid-1920s, Stutz had altered course, producing ultra-luxury cars. The Great Depression and stock manipulation would bring Stutz production to an end in the mid-1930s.
Virgil Exner joined with investor James O’Donnell to secure the rights to the Stutz name in 1968. They approached Pontiac division head John DeLorean about using the new Pontiac Grand Prix as the basis for their ultra-luxury car. The Grand Prixes were then shipped from the US to Carrozzeria Padane in Turin, Italy, to be stripped and re-fitted with the new Stutz bodies and interiors. When finished, the newly minted Stutz Blackhawks were shipped to their exclusive US distributor, Jules Meyer Pontiac in Los Angeles, California. Jules Meyer had been selected due to the dealer’s relationship with many high-profile Hollywood stars.
A number of two- and four-door models were offered from 1971 through 1995, with 617 examples delivered mostly through 1984, after which production slowed to a trickle.
