Ever since I first saw the TV show “The Bearcats” almost 40 years ago I’ve wanted to drive one of these. Like a king sized go-kart it seemed to me and was one of the preeminent sports cars of it’s time, before the term sports car was even invented. Almost 100 years ago it would top out at about the speed limit on today’s interstate highways and must’ve been quite a thrill riding out in the open like that at twice the speed of most other autos on the primitive roads of the time. The Bearcat's biggest rival was the Mercer Raceabout, a similar looking car though much smaller but about as fast. Stutz fans would say, "There's nothing worser than a Mercer," while Mercer fans claimed, "You've gotta be nuts to drive a Stutz."
