Matchbox Monday
Welcome to another episode of Matchbox Monday. In today's episode, we have a Stutz and a twin engine hot rod!
1997 Matchbox #687 Tatto Machines Series #3 of 4 - Stutz Blackhawk
2000 Matchbox #115 Virtual Collection Car - Way 2 Fast
An interesting note..on the package of Way 2 Fast, there is another name under the car that says Way2Kul. Not sure what that's all about? Maybe something to do with the online game?
"The very first Blackhawk sold was purchased by Elvis Presley on October 9, 1970, for $26,500. He beat out Frank Sinatra to own the first one. Presley had it customized by George Barris after purchase. In January 1971, Presley had a mobile telephone installed for $1,467.50. In July 1971, a hired driver destroyed the car."
"The Stutz Blackhawk is an American ultra-luxury car manufactured from 1971 through 1987. Other than the name it bears no resemblance to the original Blackhawk (1929-1930). The Stutz Motor Company was revived in August 1968 by New York banker James O'Donnell"
