How long has it been apart and how many times has it moved garages ??
That second part is particularly important information.

Most of them are, but 10 years ago a fellow gave me a 1991 Yugo which I converted to electric power. I removed the engine and all the parts connected to it. I made my own adapter plate and put an 8 HP DC motor in it. With a controller and 6 12volt deep cycle Gell batteries, I drove it 13,000 miles @ 5 miles at a time back and forth to work. When the price of gas went back down, I put it in my shop and stopped using it as the batteries were about shot. I could get it up to 55 mph during each short trip and recharge it over the lunch hour. To keep warm in the winter time, I plugged in an oil heater before leaving work or home.
Now that gas is over $5.10 in my town, I am thinking of putting lithium batteries in and running it again. It was fun to drive and not have to stop at a gas station. Converted it weighted less than the gas powered model.
How fast did it go?

Are these different from standard Cord generators?

Yes, but they have a figure in mind, people always do, even it it's too high for the market.
Exactly this!

It drives quite nice! I have radials on it. Helps a lot. The 245 CI straight 6 is quite peppy as well. I am very happy with it. Everything quite straight forward and easy to work on as well. Thanks for asking! George
Thank you for your thoughts. There really isn't much out there on the Hupps and Grahams. Out of curiosity, do you know what the overall length of your Skylark is?

I’d like to buy a 1940-41 Hupmobile 245 C I flathead 6 engine to display with my 1941 Hupmobile Skylark. Leads appreciated! George Albright Ocala Florida cell weekdays 352 843 1624. Email gnalbright@gmail.com
How does the Hupmobile Skylark drive? I had read someplace that they handled very well, possibly better than the 36-37 Cords.

The pictures that Ken had, (one of which is attached below) were taken in 1963 by Earl Parks in Harwich Massachusetts. The car was never crushed.

Is this the same cabriolet as in your earlier post?
