William J. Greer proposed formation of The Stutz Club on October 9, 1987 on the Blue Field at the AACA Fall Meet, Hershey, PA. The Stutz Club, Inc. was incorporated in Indiana on December 5, 1990.
The Stutz Club was organized to promote personal contact, commingling, fellowship, and the exchange of information among its members. Its aims are to further the preservation, restoration, and enjoyment of the motor vehicles manufactured from 1911 through 1936 by companies founded by Harry Clayton Stutz. These include The Ideal Motor Car Co., The Stutz Motor Car Co., The Stutz Fire Engine Co., New Stutz Fire Apparatus Co., and The H.C.S Motor Car Co. These motor vehicles, comprising the marques of Stutz, Blackhawk, and H.C.S, are collectively referred to as Stutz.
The club disseminates practical and educational information through meetings, the publication of the quarterly Stutz News publication, our online forum, and other modes of communication. It sponsors activities including publications of a directory of members. The Stutz Club promotes the preservation of literature, photographs, and artifacts pertaining to the life of Harry Clayton Stutz and Stutz vehicles.
The Club cooperates with similar clubs representing interest in antique and classic motor vehicles. It strives to educate the public concerning the history of Stutz and features of Stutz vehicles. Also, it strives to own, operate, and maintain an association for the education, pleasure, entertainment, and recreation of its members.
