Huptoy, I think that George is looking for a 368 CI 133 Hp Hupp which would be the 1930 -1932 H or U. Some of these cars were fitted with special bodys for the rich folks. I do not have my Hupp books with me here in FL or I could show a pic of 1 of these cars. Chuck

Yes, you are correct, I added to link as the car looks good and is just for information.

As someone who also appreciates these cars, do you have any idea of the production numbers? Was the 368 discontinued after 32? I tool would love a cycle fender large 8, but I think current projects make that a tough sell to the wife.

Ok they started prpduction in 1929 on the H & U 595-H & 5-U 1930 1,868 H & 393-U 1931 735-H & 170-U 1932 270- H & 122-U. Unfortunately 1932 was the last year for the 368 Ci. 133 Hp. My 1936-N 8cyl was the largest at 303Ci and 120 HP that Hupp produced untill they went out of car production in 1940. It has Hupp- Super Drive which is an overdrive and is capable of today's highway speeds. But it loves 55-60 and thats fast enough for me.

I think I need to clarify something. The 1930-1932 H & U were not cycle fender cars. The cycle fender Hupps designed by Raymond Loewy were produced from 1932 -1934. There were 2- 8cyl models and 1- 6 cyl. model. Hupp used the year and wheel base in the model # F-222 was a small 8cyl F-small 8, the first 2 -year 1932, the second 22 was the wheel base 122 in. The second 8 cyl Model I was a larger ci. and longer wheel base. I-226. Both of these models came in 4 body styles. A coupe, 4dr sedan,victoria and a cabriolet. The 6-cyl was the Model K-221 also was produced in the same body types as the F & I. Hupp produced 3,382 F's, 664 I's and 13 K's in 1932. 1,113 F's, 517 I's and 4,940 K's in 1933. 260 F's, 226 I's and1,009 K's in 1934.

This does help. I think I've seen 4 or 5 of the F-222 cars for sale in the last couple of years but I do not recall ever seeing a I-226. I assume that both F & I used the same bodies? How as the additional 4 inches of wheelbase accounted for, in the hood? Also, do you know how much bigger cube/hp wise the I was from the F?
