1933 Stutz DV-32 Convertible Victoria (more pics below 👇)
Rollston of New York City built only two DV-32 Convertible Victorias to a special design featuring a steeply raked windshield. This angled glass lowered the roofline and visually lengthened the car compared to Rollston’s standard Victoria body.
Combined with Rollston’s signature doors (extended down to cover the frame rails) and the 1933 model’s faired-in fender lights, the design created a distinctive sporting appearance.
Unable to afford developing a new V-12 or V-16 engine, Stutz responded to multi-cylinder competition with the DV-32.
Charles “Pop” Greuter reworked the existing 322-cubic-inch straight-eight with dual overhead camshafts and angled valves above hemispherical combustion chambers, creating a four-valves-per-cylinder configuration (32 total).
The result produced approximately 156 horsepower through a Warner four-speed transmission, essentially matching the Duesenberg Model J’s horsepower-per-cubic-inch ratio and providing 100 mph capability despite a curb weight of roughly 4,600 pounds.
Only about 200 DV-32s were produced from 1931 through 1935, with relatively few receiving full custom coachwork.
