AI Listing Summary
This 1932 Stutz DV32 Tonneau Cowl Four-Passenger Speedster by LeBaron, chassis number DV-26-1474, is a rare and desirable classic car. It features a powerful inline eight-cylinder engine, a short-wheelbase chassis, and lightweight aluminum coachwork. Having undergone an exhaustive restoration in the 1990s, it presents beautifully and has a documented show history, including awards from Pebble Beach and CCCA events.

While the car presents beautifully, the listing mentions that it was restored between 1990 and 1995. Though the restoration was extensive and award-winning, it was completed nearly 30 years ago.

A rating of 8 seems appropriate, considering its history and the passage of time since the restoration.
