Guest Dean_H. Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Rescued this '32 coupe from a barn just a few miles down the road from me. It's mostly complete. The engine croaked back in 1956, owner bought another engine but never completed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp36 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Keep it up and your new name will be the Cal Hupp Nutt. Nice 6 cyl Model S. As the kids say, U R the Man Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Man, does that ever look like my 1931 Dodges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp36 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 In 1928 Hupp produced 65,000 cars and bought the Chandler plant in Cleveland and started producing the model S 6cyl & the model L 8 cyl. They made their own bodies for these models. If you set a Hupp Model A 4-dr sedan next to a Hupp Model S 4-dr sedan you can see slight changes in the overall appearance. Hupp went to a 3 spoke bakeilite type material for the steering wheel. No more 4 spoke wooden ones.This was also their first car with free wheeling. Just a point of intrest.

Hupp36 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Dean I have two more pages email me and i will scan them for you. They are Blue, Black, Brown and Grays combinations for the coupe, depending on the year Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dean_H. Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Chuck, green is tempting. Jay Leno has a two tone green Packard coupe that looks excellent. I sure like the green accented wheels. But I was just scraping some paint off the car and found blue, similar to Keiser's Dodge. I'll probably lean towards keeping with the original color. I'd like to see the scan on the colors for 1932.

keiser31 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I have some photos of a dark blue/black combination one like my Dodge colors. It was at Turlock a few years ago. I will try to find those photos and post them. It's pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dean_H. Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks Keiser, I'd like to to see that. Chuck, the model is 216B, not sure if that makes any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Actually, the car that I saw in Turlock, California is all blue. Very pretty car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dean_H. Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 That does look good. Not quite as flashy as some, but elegant and classy. My original colors appear to be the same. I think I'll stay original. This is one of the cars I've always wanted. It's missing a rim and a few hubcaps, I'll keep an eye out for those. But I want to finish my current project before I do much on it. The original engine has a patch bolted on the side of the block where a connecting rod had come through. Even though I have a second engine, I'm going to try to get the original going - patch and all, - it adds character. The car has no rust through, but some of the wood will need to be replaced.

keiser31 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 There was a guy on the "what is it" forum who had a steering wheel exactly like that. I guess we know what it is, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hupp36 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 The B-216 is a 1932 model. Hupp used a coded model# The 2 meaning 1932. The 16=116 wheel base. The B is the model. The model B was produced only 2 years Total production for both years 4,991 1932-1933 Serial # 1932 started B5001 to B8499 For 1933 B8500 to B9962 The paint codes I emailed you has the B216 colors that you are looking for.

KenHupp20 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Now Dean , let me ask ; the model 20 is still next on the list I hope !Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dean_H. Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Good question Ken, I was thinking work on the '32 first. Of course the model 20 is half done so it'd be pretty fast to get it going. I'll have to think about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
