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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Regards

Al

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?

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.
