It's like a Lincoln Continental MK III but far uglier. Uncool.
 
I remember trying to research this car years ago (in the days of 36.6k), after seeing it in the original Gone in 60 seconds. Kind of have a soft spot for it after that.
 
Ugly, but also was the car to have for celebrities in the 1970's.

Cool.
 
Christ no.

The only thing I like is the steering wheel.
 
Definition of the 70s, plus an 8.2L V8. Cool.
 
The name suggests that it could be a cool car. Then you see it.

Seriously uncool.
 
That moment when you condense the raw essence of the 1970s into a luxo-barge and it ends up looking like the wonky blueprint for a specific brand of Japanese vehicle design two decades later.

(Is that a Volvo 740/760 behind the Blackhawk in the top image? If it is, it's a damn nicely modded one.)

Looks like one of those 80s GM monstrosities, I can't say which though.
 
Proof that odd =/= cool.

Uncool.

Late 80's Chevrolet Celebrity , sadly cooler than this one were voting on now :(
 
It had Ford, Pontiac, and Cadillac engines? Wow.

Anyway, it's cool. Can't do Sub-Zero, that's for the Continental and Cadillacs.
 
Well...nicer than the neoclassicals from Zimmer and/or Excalibur anyway. :lol:

I rather liked the Fiero-based Zimmer Quicksilver though, as it was far less ostentatious and had nice lines.

Uncool.

Edit: Here's the Stutz featured in [the 1974 original] Gone In 60 Seconds.

Love those artillery-style wheels.

I always really liked these, ever since I had a hot wheels as a kid. Only marked down from SZ to Cool because very heavy and only available with an auto box. If I had the time and money I would love to add my own mods to make it a wee bit more practical and modern, and make some more power out of those larger engines.
 
So many engine options I'll give it a cool looks better than most american luxury cars during the 70s and 80s
 
Ugly as hell. :sick:

SU.
 
Spare tire placement gives it an uncool for me.
 
Someone forgot to design better headlights so they just found some random lights from a 1900's car and glued them onto the front
Uncool

Move forward a couple decades, and that reasoning would result in this:

True, but cars like the Stutz weren't purchased by celebrities to make a political statement.
