Hupp36 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Well I will get more pic when we take the car to a show. But you can get an idea of how good this Hupp is for a 93 yer old car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lump Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Very nice car, Hupp 36! Congratulations to your friend. It seems to share many features with my 1923 Hupp touring. I recall my parents saying that our car had more in common with most 1924 and 1925 Hupmobiles, than with most 1923 cars. I guess there was a model change mid year in 1923. I THINK I recall that mine is a Model "R-12," and that most 1923-titled units were Model "R-10's." Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp36 Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 The R 8 and R 10 were produced from 1918- to early 1923. On the 1923 cars R11/R12 models, the wheel base was increased from 112 to 115 inches. Also in some of the sport models had a nickel plated radiator shell, radiator cap, cowl lights and drum headlights. Yours being an R=12 . Your body was larger than the R-11 by an inch.. This was also when Hupp introduced the 3 Dr. sedan. Now the answer to your question. Yes, the majority of the 1923 R model Hupps were R-10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp36 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 When taking the 25 up to NAPA to have them match the paint so I could do some touch up, within sight of the store, it died. long story short the pic will show you why it died.Will clean it up and see if it will be ok. If not I have another that I can install. See Pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp36 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 After cleaning it up and soldering 2 tiny rust holes making a new gasket it I reinstalled on the Hupp and I made it to the NAPA paint store. Driving that car is a hoot. Add this Hupp to my list and I have driven 7 different models. Only 11 more to go. I did not think to take a pic but will do so.
