vilero ◊ 2011-07-05 12:08	When I validated this picture provided by user mkiker2089 I identified the Stutz as Blackhawk only according this info from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stutz_Blackhawk "Bill "Blaze" Blazejowski (played by Michael Keaton) in the movie, Night Shift. The 1981 model is featured in the movie. The car appears to be a four door model." The link provided by Sandie ID this as Blackhawk IV Porte Sedan (?) This Stutz site http://www.madle.org/estutz.htm only ID Stutz sedans as Duplex, IV-Porte, Victoria and Diplomatica. This same site http://www.madle.org/emedia.htm says ""Night Shift" 1982 according to Serge Hudon: only film where you can see a 4-door Stutz" but it does not say the model of the car.
