Stückelberg interferometry is a phenomenon well established for quantum mechanical two-level systems. Here, we present classical two mode interference of a nanomechanical two-mode system, realizing a classical analog of Stückelberg interferometry. Our experiment relies on the coherent energy exchange between two strongly coupled, high quality factor nanomechanical resonator modes. Furthermore, we discuss an exact theoretical solution for the double passage Stückelberg problem by expanding the established finite time Landau-Zener single passage solution. For the parameter regime explored in the experiment, we find the Stückelberg return probability in the classical version of the problem to formally coincide with the quantum case which reveals the analogy of the return probabilities in the quantum mechanical and the classical version of the problem. This result qualifies classical two-mode systems at large to simulate quantum mechanical interferometry.
