Hupp36

Here is a better pic

I am the proud owner of a 1927 Pierce Arrow Model 36 Limo. This car was in the Oberhaus Museum in Ohio. Does anyone know if this car was ever shown at the Ohio Concours D'elegance?

I only have 1 Pierce Arrow, maybe some with a 1928 Model 36 will add more info.

Jeff, took another look, here it is.

I looked on the dash of our 1927 Model 36 and do not see anything that says Tesla patent.

A 1932 Hupmobile Model S has a BB-1 Card..

I also ordered carb. rebuild kit and installed it., here are the pic of the finished product. When I come back down in the fall, I will do some clean up and paint to the engine compartment.

After cleaning it up and soldering 2 tiny rust holes making a new gasket it I reinstalled on the Hupp and I made it to the NAPA paint store. Driving that car is a hoot. Add this Hupp to my list and I have driven 7 different models. Only 11 more to go. I did not think to take a pic but will do so.

When taking the 25 up to NAPA to have them match the paint so I could do some touch up, within sight of the store, it died. long story short the pic will show you why it died.Will clean it up and see if it will be ok. If not I have another that I can install. See Pic.

The R 8 and R 10 were produced from 1918- to early 1923. On the 1923 cars R11/R12 models, the wheel base was increased from 112 to 115 inches. Also in some of the sport models had a nickel plated radiator shell, radiator cap, cowl lights and drum headlights. Yours being an R=12 . Your body was larger than the R-11 by an inch.. This was also when Hupp introduced the 3 Dr. sedan. Now the answer to your question. Yes, the majority of the 1923 R model Hupps were R-10

Adding one thing, the circle H is the hood ornament . It is bolted to the car. The radiator cap is under the hood. Please do not think that I am a smart A------ for explaining this as I have owned 2 cycle fender Hupps.

Should have showed this first. He designed the Cycle fender Hupps as well as the Aerodynamic Hupps

The 2 scans will tell you the connection. Raymond Loewy was a member of the Hupmobile Club untill he left this earth. He and Henry Miller one of the founders of the Hupmobile Club were good friends.

In 1978 Automobile Quarterly Vol. 16 # 1 had a article on Hupmobiles. Page 85 shows a great pic of a look alike of your model car. As far as rims offered, they were wood spoke, wire or like you have. Your engine is 90 HP.

I was looking at an old 1971 Hupp Herald and came across a Bob White who was a member of the Hupp Club. Is that your grandfathers name?

Welcome to the Hupp family of fine cars. Well looking at the 4 hood doors, I though it was an F or I 8 cyl. instead, its a Model K 6 cyl. Being a charter member of the Hupmobile Club started in 1970 in Cal. I would encourage you to join us. We have tec. advisors that can help with questions you may have. A great library of Hupp literature , parts locater and a club magazine. Just type Hupmobile Club on your search engine and you will find all the info you need to join.

Well I will get more pic when we take the car to a show. But you can get an idea of how good this Hupp is for a 93 yer old car.

All I can say is HE WINS, the most toys.

If you would like to sell these lens, you will need to include a part # as Hupmobile produced 8 different models in the years you mention. The S,C,H,L,U,B,F and I. Most of them are not the same size. Just want to help.

Well after looking for about a year I found the car my friend the car he wanted, a fine looking 1925 3 dr. Hupmobile.. This was the last year Hupp would make a 4 cyl. car The pic is from my phone when we were in transit from Mass. to Fl. I will have more pic when I rest up from the trip.

NO asbestos, just wood pulp better known as paper.

I would like to publicly thank Terry for the fine book. It is all I m expected and more. . Thank you Chuck M

I sent you a message.

This car is a 1932 Hupmobile Model B First series. It was the first year of the fuel pump being attached to the side of the engine. Also the first of using a down draft carburetor. These cars were built in the Cleveland plant. Production on the car in 1932 was 3, 581.

Looking to purchase a Borg & Beck clutch and pressure plate Type 9A1 Model 530 preferred but any Type 9A1 will work. This assembly fits many different vehicles. Thank you for any help. If you have 1 to sell, I am buying. Just post if you have 1 and I will get back to you with a PM to keep out the scammers
