BuicksBuicks Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I know nothing about Hups. How does one shift gears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Rare and stylish car. Too bad the grill was replaced. It'll be a bugger to find a new one, as well as a buyer willing to spend a bunch to restore a prewar sedan. Don't know about gear shifting. I'm assuming three on the floor. The transmission and motor are out, so you can't tell by the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hupp36 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Wow 2 tail lights,wheel trim rings, factory installed radio, deluxe trim on hood and doors and bustle trunk and 2 handles. 101 Hp. 6 cyl. engine makes this a deluxe model. If the serial # would verify that this is a 1936 Hupp Model G its 1 of 53 built in 1936. Not sure of the year I bought 1 of these in Mass from Ernie Gunther just for the good grill The car is complete but needs a total restoration. The grill is made of pot metal and is very fragile. I thought of having some cast from my good grill, but with the low production on the G and N which were the only 2 models that share the same grill I thought I may not sell enough to get my money back. Below is a pick of my 1936 Model N that shares the same grill and hood ornament. The N is an 8 cyl, 120 Hp. with a factory over drive and is 1 of 21 produced in 1936. Not to blow my horn, BUT I am the only member of the Hupmobile Club that has 1 of these cars running on the road. My pic are to big to load, I will try to resize them and post later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp36 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 My Hupp has a factory overdrive called Hupp Super Drive. This car has 4 wheel hydraulic brakes 12 in x 2 1/4 in. and loves 55 to 65 Mph. The members of the Hupp club call it the White Tornado. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 The white car has a longer hood than the poster's car. Same hood on the blue car as on the poster's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I like the 1961 plate on it. There is zero chance of that selling for anywhere near 6800 bucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
