  1. 2 Good hubcaps not for a show car, but good for a driver. Do to the scarcity of these caps $100 post paid in the USA See Pic
  2. If you belong to the Hupp club, there is a technical advisor on the Model 32 that could help with removing the gas tank.
  3. The connecting rod I have here in FL is the correct length of 14 in. but made of forged steel not aluminium . Its from a early R model 1917 to 1921. My connecting rod # is 45068 and the 1 he needs is #50101. You can not mix steel with aluminium because the engine needs to be balanced.
  4. Well Ed was a master when it came to tuning a Hupp 20. I watched him start his car after we had a stop for lunch or ice cream and did it in 1 pull of the crank and it was running. I sure do miss seeing him.
  5. In 1995 we had a Hupp tour starting in Finley Ohio. Granted its kind of flat in that part of the USA. Ed Kiely was driving his 1909 Hupp model 20. I had on a few different days followed Ed in our 1936 Hupp N 8cyl with factory overdrive. At times on straight and level roads he would be doing between 45 and 50 mph.
  6. Just one last tip, start sewing a material that if you sew it wrong, you can remove the stitch and do it again. leather and vinyl are not forgiving. You only have 1 chance to do it wright. I sewed for 16 years before I did my first leather Hupmobile rumble seat for a good friend, he said just patch the bottom that was bad. He gave me a whole hide. After studying the amount of leather I had, I decided to make a whole new bottom seat. I wish I had the pic to show you but its not at this location. I can only say that my friend was very pleased with the seat.
  7. How about showing the dash with the serial # plate.
  8. The blue sedan is a Model B, not an S. I could not bring up the for sale on Craigs List . In 1932 Hupp produced 9 different Models S, B, K, L, F, C, H, U, and I The F and I were called cycle fender and were designed by Raymond Leowy which was a member of the Hupmobile Club until he passed away.
  9. My 1927 Pierce Arrow Model 36 enclosed drive was in the Oberhaus Museum. This car was restored with no expense spared. Before I drove the car, I went through the whole car and had to change all the fluids .The transmission and rear end had 2 light of an oil in them. I changed it out to the proper weight of oil that P A called Special Compound. In 2 years, many shows and have driven it to all of them. Over 500 miles. Worst thing is I ran out of gas. See pic.

    New to Hupp 20

    Here is a pic of the correct carb. Hope it helps
  11. Hi Ed, Up to the year 1929 Hupp used a honeycomb core in their radiators. When they bought the Chandler plant in Cleveland and started producing the Model S and L they started using straight fins in the cores which is easier to clean . On the straight fins the top and bottom tanks can be removed to rod the fins out. The honeycomb have to be put in a tank and boiled, which does not always get all the scale out. The plus is that most radiator shops still in business today can replace the straight fined cores with new ones. I hope someone has one for you, but if not, I have a radiator that is correct for your car but its not available until April 2019. Chuck M
  12. I guess I have not mentioned that because so busy showing the hand stitched decor and 18 carat gold trim on all the metal in the rear compartment where the owners ride. The stitching on the door trim was hand done 1 stitch at a time. The pattern on the rear seat cushion was reproduced like the original in the sales brochure which is not here at this time.
  13. Known as a N.Y. city model, I am still working on finding the original owners of my 1927 Pierce Arrow Model 36 Enclosed Drive Limo.
  14. I would not worry about the looks of your car as this car was at the last tour and as you can see its a work in progress. It ran fine and at the next tour it will more than likely be sporting a fine paint job. My White Tornado as its called by some of the club members was painted an off white in 1948 and shows a lot of wear, but it has an over drive , factory installed and will drive 55 to 65 mph with no problem. The other thing is that its 1 of 21 produced and when I go on a Hupp tour members will look it over good as they have not seen one in person. Pic of tour Hupp , first pic. Second pic 1936 Hupmobile Model N
  15. The Hupp meet is in Piqua Ohio on July 29th to Aug.2nd. and if Lee brings it, you will see the M your dad owned. How far is that from where live? Plan on a fun day, no judging cars or people Just members with one thing in common loving their Hupmobiles.
  16. Well if you go to the Hupp tour you will probably see the 1929-30 Hupp your parents owned. The Hupp Club member who is heading the tour owns that Hupp, he bought it from Don. When Don passed away, Jack was able to carry on with some of Don;s projects. Just something I thought you might like to know.
  17. Yes, it would be nice if you brought it to the Hupp meet the summer of 2019 near Dayton Ohio. I am sure that the members would like to see it, me included.
  18. If you scroll to page 5 you will see a 1935 J Hupp Coupe. It sold for $70,000. Now you have a Hupp G engine . The G coupe had a lot less production than the j coupe. I do believe if you find a G coupe in the condition as the J it would be in the price range of $70,000 to$ 90,000. Not bad for a car that sold new for $695.
  19. This is what a 1927 Pierce Arrow looks like at a show. I love this car and are proud to own it.
  20. Raymond Loewy did not design the 417-W . Amos Northorp designed the non Aerodynamic Hupps which were the W series. Hupp produced 4707 of the W series in 1934 which was half of the car production for that year. The balance of the production, 4713 as split on the Aerodynamic , Model K,F,I,J and T
  21. The seller said the car has a Briggs body , its a Murray body, my friend in the Hupp club has one.
  22. I hope he likes the car, at that price he is going to have it for his lifetime. The big thing, its not a real Tucker.
  23. Not sure if you know Hupmobile designed and produced all there own engines from 1909 until the end in 1941. So, I do not know who or where you got the information that its the same as Hudson and Willys but please check very carefully before you try to install another head except one that says HUPP on it.
