Description

Stutz badge with the quote: "The Car That Made Good In a Day." The slogan “The Car That Made Good In a Day” originated in 1911 after Harry C. Stutz built his first car in just five weeks and entered it in the inaugural Indianapolis 500, where it impressively finished 11th despite being a brand‑new, untested machine; this unexpected success instantly validated the car’s engineering and performance, giving Stutz a powerful marketing phrase that helped launch the brand.
