Royale

In the late 70's Stutz produced two Limousines, named "Royale", and, in difference to the Bugatti Royale, the clients were royales...

This design-rendering was made by Paolo Martin, dated 1977.
The basic design, developed by Virgil Exner was modified, and, as you can see, Paolo Martin suggested a rear design, showing no spare-wheel. This detail was changed.

Some sources mention a production-number of three, but there are only two real Royales.
There was a pre-Royale, a model that never was named.
Unfortunately I haven't any pictures of that car. As far as I know, it was delivered to the
King of Saudi Arabia.

This client ordered also a real Royale (and some other Stutzes!).
After the car was delivered, it was returned for changing an important detail.
James D. O'Donnell: "He had to return the car, because the royal rear end was not allowed to sit on leather. We made him a new seat, out of velour."

The other owner of a Stutz Royale is:
El Hadj Omar Bongo, the President of Gabon
