First of  all ,  its  a  1929 Hupp  Model A.The  dash is what  tells  that. Seconed,  it  started its  life  as  a coupe. We  know this  because the two  passenger Cabriolet  does not  have  a folding  top  like  a roadster. If  you look at  the  4th  pic,  you  can  see they  added  material to  the  top of the  door.  The  good  thing  is  it  has non  standard  wood  wheels  on it. They  had  to  be  special  ordered. The  pic is  a  Hupp Mode S Cabriolet  with  the top  down,  this  was the  first  year and model of  that  type. 1930-31
