The last chapter of the Stutz story starts in 1984. Because of their huge success with limos in the Middle East, Stutz started into the luxury SUV trend more than a decade before most.
Stutz began selling a modified/armoured Chevy Suburban called the Defender (later renamed the Gazelle). Made mainly for military purposes, standard equipment included a machine gun.
The Bear was derived from this car (sans machine gun). In the gun's place was a convertible top, and a Rolls-like grille to stun the oncomers. 46 were made and sold to the Royal Guard of Saudi Arabi and the King Hassan of Morocco.
