KenHupp20 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I just found this and thought I'd share it . It is a homemade greeting card, a photo of a model car, both photo and model done by my late uncle Robert D. Wild.He built the model when he was young, and later did the photo for the card . He had a life long interest in early cars and owned a 1909 Hupmobile.I hope you enjoy this diversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The model looks like a Hupmobile, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfudd Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I would have guessed it was a Maxwell.Gil Fitzhugh, Morristown, NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shop Rat Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 That is amazing. Until I read that it is a model I thought it was real. Thank you for sharing this family treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPrice Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 It looks like it was built from a Hudson Miniature model.Does anyone remember those terrific Hudson Miniatures? They were built during the '50s. When the factory burnt down, that was the end of them.Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John348 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Roger, I was thinking the same thing. I am looking at an unbuilt Hudson kit of a 1910 International. I will try to bring it to the VCR Meeting if the weather permits on WednesdayJohn Mahoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
