Stutz Bearcat 1923 or 1924. 1923 was the first year of left hand drive for Stutz. |

NOT A STUTZ: Just stumbled upon the site and I love it! But the car ID'd as a Stutz is not. It's a Marmon. I worked for the owner of the Gatsby Rolls Royce while the movie was being shot here in RI and in NYC. The Marmon was a beautiful car, but it wasn't the most dependable car in our stable at the time. In fact, in the scene where Jordan Baker (Lois Chiles) drives away from one of Gatsby's parties the front bumper doesn't show. That's because a rope was attached to it, to be pulled by a bunch of big guys when the director told them to go! -- Last edit: 2008-11-18 06:48:07 |

Hello rioldcarguy, Any Idea where the Marmon from the The Great Gatsby movie is now? It once belonged to my father. |

Hey Turtleb8! That was a gorgeous car and it incorporated some unique engineering. Wish I knew where it is now; the owner of the Gatsby car bought it after the movie was finished, I think, but he's since passed away. Let me see if I can find something out. |

I should say it's a 1922 model. |

Hey rioldcarguy I found the Marmon - sort of. It's owned by someone in Belgium. here a link to the an auction site. https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25221/lot/193/ The article describes where they replaced the carb, might be why it didn't run so well when you worked on it. |
