  CarPrices.com - Stutz Bearcat
As Stutz himself pointed out, "Recoils [from sudden stops, for instance] are upward instead of downward, because the springs operate under tension instead of compression." Handling was aided, as well, by the vehicle's uncommonly low center of gravity.
Stutz was so concerned with proper lubrication that he designed a crankcase that carried eight quarts of oil, instead of the typical four, and he mounted an auxiliary oil tank integrally with the gas tank, poised behind the rear seat.
Stutz specified dual ignition to guard against misfires, and he had galleries drilled into the hefty crankshaft to carry oil to the bearings.

 Lost Marques: Stutz
The 1914 Stutz Roadster, with 6.5 litre four cylinder engine was the first of Harry C Stutz's cars to be called a "Bearcat"...
The Bearcat was a large two-seater with a long ungainly bonnet and, surprisingly, no weather protection for the occupants.
In view of Harry Stutz's expertise with rear-mounted gearboxes, it was not surprising that the Bearcats had this feature, which helped to balance the weight distribution, and improved the road-holding.
