[edit] Stutz Duplex

The Duplex was a sedan version of the Blackhawk, and was sometimes called by that name as well.

[edit] Stutz IV-Porte

The IV-Porte was produced from 1977 through 1980 on the Pontiac Bonneville/Oldsmobile 88 Royale platform.

[edit] Stutz Victoria

The final Stutz sedan was 1981's Victoria. It was 10 inches (250 mm) longer, and was positioned as a limousine, complete with Stutz-provided driver service.

Many of these Victorias, all of them white, were sold to the Royal family of Saudi Arabia. But within 2 to 3 years all of them were retired due to various malfunctions created by the excessively harsh climate and environmental conditions. Also the cost of maintaining the car was too much even for the royals.
