Black Hawk and Blackhawk may refer to:
The Stutz Blackhawk was an American luxury car manufactured from 1971 through 1987. Other than the name it bears no resemblance with the original Stutz Blackhawk (1929-1930). The Stutz Motor Company was revived in August 1968 by New York banker James O'Donnell. He joined forces with retired Chrysler stylist Virgil Exner who designed the new Blackhawk. Exner's design included a spare tire that protruded through the trunklid, a massive grille and freestanding headlamps. The new Blackhawk was prototyped by Ghia in Italy at a cost of over US$300,000. To offer exclusivity and still allow easy servicing in the US a custom built Italian body was added to a GM platform and engine. The Blackhawk debuted in January 1970 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Prices ranged from US$22,500 to US$75,000. All early Blackhawks were coupes, but rare sedans were produced later. Convertible versions were called D'Italia and Bearcat. Stutz Blackhawks became the car of choice among elite entertainers of the day. By 1976 Stutz had sold 205 Blackhawks and about six a month were handbuilt in Italy and shipped to the US. By April 1980 350 Blackhawks had been sold and by the time production ended in 1987 approximately 500 to 600 cars had been manufactured.
The Blackhawk was an automobile manufactured by the Stutz Motor Car Company in Indianapolis from 1929 to 1930.
The Blackhawk was not as powerful, nor as expensive, as contemporary Stutzes, which is most likely why it was marketed as a separate make. The year previously, there was a Stutz model called the Black Hawk, doubtlessly leading to confusion for more than one customer. The car was available with either an overhead cam six-cylinder or straight eight engine, with maximum output of 85 bhp and 95 bhp, respectively. A wide variety of open and closed body styles were available on the 127.5" wheelbase chassis. Custom coachwork was also available. Prices for non-custom Blackhawks ranged from $1995 to $2785. There was a great deal of promotion for the marque, and first year sales were decent at 1310, but second year sales dropped to only 280. The brand was discontinued by years end, another early victim of the Depression.
High on a hill
The valley below me
The blue sky above me
My dream was so real
I could not hear
The hum of the highway
Or the drums of the foundry
Pounding out steel
I didn't need no money
I didn't need no time
I didn't need nothing
But my own piece of mind
And you know that
A voice like a whisper is bound to be heard
For just one moment, I'm the king of the world
For just one moment, I'm the king of the world
So I close my eyes
I let the power defeat me
Because the real world can't free me
From this dirty old town
With the four winds blow
I sent my troubles rollin'
And since the world just kept turnin'
I let it go round
I didn't need no money
I didn't need no time
I didn't need nothing
But my own piece of mind
And you know that
A voice like a whisper is bound to be heard
For just one moment, I'm the king of the world
For just one moment, I'm the king of the world
Where the four winds blow
I sent my troubles rollin'
Since the world just kept turnin'
I let it go round
I didn't need no money
I didn't need no time
I didn't need nothing
But my own piece of mind
And you know that
A voice like a whisper is bound to be heard
For just one moment, I'm the king of the world
For just one moment, I'm the king of the world
