Hupp36 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The seller said the car has a Briggs body , its a Murray body, my friend in the Hupp club has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 They used the prior year's Ford coupe bodies, didn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudsy Wudsy Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I didn't have time earlier to research my reference to Hupps using Ford (Murray) bodies for their coupe lines. Here's something from Wiki about it: Hupp abandoned its more conservatively styled product line and turned to industrial designer Raymond Loewy to design its 1932 Hupp cyclefender, a flashy roadster that did well at the track, but sales continued to decline. 1934 saw the introduction of a striking restyle called the "Aerodynamic" by Loewy, as well as the lower-priced series 417-W using Murray-built slightly-modified Ford bodies.

Hupp36 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Raymond Loewy did not design the 417-W . Amos Northorp designed the non Aerodynamic Hupps which were the W series. Hupp produced 4707 of the W series in 1934 which was half of the car production for that year. The balance of the production, 4713 as split on the Aerodynamic , Model K,F,I,J and T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The '34 417-W coupe, while a modification of the Murray three-window coupe body supplied to Ford, it has one very unique feature: half-door, convertible coupe-style door construction. The '32-'34 Packard Stationary Coupes have this same method, essentially an early production hardtop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you Google Image 1934 Hupmobile coupe, you'll see examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
