The owner was C.W. Arnold so I think it was indeed a personal badge made for the him.The C is quite clear so it seems to make sense. Also of interest the license plate number appears on the side lamps.Any ideas on why? Makes me think of the modern use of putting the vin number on most car parts. One other thing that I noticed is the gentleman to the right,the hat,the gloves,the look on his face. I’m not sure the chauffeur was too happy about giving up “his” seat for the photo. Thank you all.

Can someone identify this auto?

Hello Rainer,I think too heavy an oil in the transmission might be troublesome with the clutch.I believe they always called for same as engine oil. Ken

Hello Rainer,Not sure you have a question here.It does look like an original intake manifold.A plug would be installed at the bottom if you need to use the hot air intake. Ken

Sounds like good news. Not sure my comment was expertise,just a fellow Hupp owner trying to help. Ken

I think your Breeze is later than the text in the Breeze pdf. With one nut above the ball on the needle valve there does not seem to be any adjustment there.I think you would adjust by using different thickness of gasket washer between the body of the carb and the gas inlet piece.

Your carburetor problem sounds like an issue with the float,set incorrectly or perhaps not floating .

Hello Rainer,I think your Hupp is very close to the original Hupp color.

Not original,likely to catch drips,or maybe get cleaner air if driven on a dusty road.

Hello Rainer,This should be a fairly easy adjustment.Remove the pin just outside the gear box,loosen the lock nut on the shifting fork inside the gearbox.Turn the shifting shaft until the gear rests properly in the final drive.Place the shift lever in neutral and see if the linkage now lines up for the pin,may need a bit of final adjustment.Check low gear engagement also.Remember to tighten the lock nut.I may have forgotten a bit,it’s been a while. If you search this forum you may find info on the Breeze.

If you can get the spring to align correctly you might not need the three screws.Early production did not have them(like mine).With a little tinkering I was able to get the spring lined up ok.

I agree with Andrew on the 3 screws.Looks like you are doing a great job.Keep us posted.

I’ll dig around tomorrow,see what I can find.

I’m not an expert on such things,but was once told it is very important to radius the end of the cut into a blind bore. The fillet increase strength and relieves stress.Perhaps you have already done this. Ken

Nice find,looks very original.
