BuicksBuicks 104 Posted February 15 I know nothing about Hups. How does one shift gears? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suchan 103 Posted February 15 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hupp36 96 Posted February 15 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alsancle 1,950 Posted February 15 I like the 1961 plate on it. There is zero chance of that selling for anywhere near 6800 bucks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
