Connell Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) I have acquired a 1932 Hupmobile coupe. Is it as rare as the internet says it is? It is not stock, but that is how I acquired it. Thanks in advance. I’d like to post pictures if I can figure out how to do it.

29hupp Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 FYI miles apart but similar. https://www.streetsideclassics.com/vehicles/3954-atl/1931-hupmobile-coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connell Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Thanks. I guess as far as trying to find any interior parts I’m probably out of luck since they are so rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29hupp Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 The best source for Hupmobile parts is belonging to the Hupmobile Club. They publish a "Parts Locator" that is far better that scrounging the internet or flea markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connell Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Ok thank you. Are they purists or will they be ok with my car? I don’t want to upset anyone. And, other than changing the small block to a big block , this is how I got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys here don't have any interest and hot rod guys are purists for mostly Ford. If you want to sell it, my advice is to your best ad together and put it on ebay.

29hupp Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 They will help you in any way they can. There is an incredible amount knowledge that can be obtained. Many purchased parts cars to aid in a restoration and may have what you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Carl Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I don't think you have to worry too much about authenticity. You have a Hupmobile in name and body shell only. It looks very cool to me. Use whatever parts look cool to you ! Have fun ! - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connell Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Thanks! I think it’s cool too and will be a lot of fun. The only parts I really would like to have is the instrument cluster and the top of the door panels trim piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp36 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Well here are some production figures on the Hupp Model I A totol of 664 cars were produced in 4 different body styles. 4dr sedan, 2dr Victoria,cabriolet roadster and coupe. I do not have any figures that tells how many of each body styles were produced. The model I had a 126 in. wheel base. The model F had a 122 in. wheel base. The Model I had a larger engine 110 hp while the F had 106 hp. The body on your car looks like it does not have a lot of rust through, that's good. I sure hope you have the trunk cover If you do not, you will find it very hard to come by. I love stock Hupps, I do have some great friends in the Hupp club with modified cars, Some you look at them and can not tell it from stock Others , you can see they are not. It would be a dull if we all liked the exact things. You have a Hupmobile model that a true Hupp guy would love to have, Enjoy it. When I get my other computer.on line, I will post some pic.

Connell Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Thanks. I do have the trunk lid and it’s installed now. I had new glass installed front and rear yesterday. There is absolutely no rust on it. The brown is the body color coming through the paint. I had it clear coated so it would preserve what’s left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hupp36 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Here are Pic of the 4 body styles, Note that these are pic of the 1932 Model F which is a 122in. wheel base. Yours being a 126in. wheel base. Not many differences in the cars. I do have a model I brochure but it is out of my hands at this time The last pic on the right is your car style. Raymond Loewy who designed 1932,33 and 34 cycle fender cars. The front fender wrapped tight around the front fender He also designed the Aerodynamic Hupps 1934-1938.
