1927 Stutz Safety 8
The Vertical Eight Model AA has a four-passenger body and was designed to be five inches lower than the competition, thanks to the use of a Timken worm-drive axle and a double drop frame. The model was one of the very first to have safety glass and hydraulic “Juice” brakes, going on to win every American Stock Car race that it entered, and eventually being declared the World’s Champion.
