Leif Holmberg Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Another pictures, I don`t know what it`s. Leif in Sweden. Edited March 23, 2013 by Leif Holmberg (see edit history)
Vintman Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Hi Leif,The rear hub and the raised headlamps suggest a cca 1914 Hupmobile 32 Touring.RegardsVintman
Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Those high headlights look like Hupmobile.
Leif Holmberg Posted March 24, 2013 Author Posted March 24, 2013 My first thought was Huppmobile too,but when looking closer the vertical split window,top of the hood ,top of the radiator and the different size of the hubs dosen`t look Huppmobile to me.All the Huppmobile from 1915-1925 seems to have the same size on hub caps. Leif in Sweden.
Layden B Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I am with Vintman on this being 1914 Hup model 32.
Leif Holmberg Posted March 24, 2013 Author Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks Vintman and Layden B I think you are right,but the front window dosen`t look right for a Huppmobile.This type of rear wheel hub seems be Huppmobile 1913-1914. Leif in Sweden
Layden B Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Most pictures show the windshield straight up. This is another uncommon Hup feature that the hinge is at the bottom so the windshield ( a single pane) can be folded back as in this picture.
Guest Al Brass Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 The body is wrong for a Hupp 32. The cowl is too rounded and the doors don't butt up square to the dashboard. The door handles are on top of the doors on a 32. The windscreen is wrong too and the rear tub is too high. Mechanically, it seems similar and it has 10 spoke wheels, another Hupp feature. Al
Leif Holmberg Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Today I found a picture of what I think is a Huppmobile 1913,don`t know what model it`s.The rear hub loks close to the first picture.Is this a model HM 6?

Layden B Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Al Brass,Since you own a 1914 Hup 32 HA touring which I believe is the 5 passenger, what can you tell us about the HM 6 passenger touring?
Guest Al Brass Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Al Brass,Since you own a 1914 Hup 32 HA touring which I believe is the 5 passenger, what can you tell us about the HM 6 passenger touring?Hi Layden,All Model 32's ('12 thru '15) are similar. The '12 and '13 Models differ in subtle ways to the '14. Perhaps the most obvious is the windscreen frame and most '14's had electric headlights. As already mentioned, the car in question appears very like a Model 32 in the wheels, hubs and springing but the body is quite different and would have to have been completely replaced, an unlikely event I would think. RegardsAl
Layden B Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Back to you Al,Actually I think you are on to it! Leif is in Sweden and the picture could be ( probably is) European. The body stands a big chance of being made to European design on a chassis imported from the US.How about it Leif?
Leif Holmberg Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Al Brass is right about the body-fenders, the body and fenders are not Huppmobile when reading below the pictures on the home page from AHK in Sweden,there can be a Swedish body and fenders,but they are not sure either. Thanks to all of you for help to solv this question.Leif in Sweden.
