Roger Frazee Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 A film archivist in Knoxville discovered this photo and is hoping to find the amateur movie that was being shot. Knowing the year, make, and model of the car might ultimately help in his search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Could be a 1929 with that hole in the rear of the running board splash apron. Edited July 28, 2020 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Looks pretty well worn, likely a few years old when the photo was made. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Bent rear fender and bald tires, definitely a well-used Hupmobile roadster when the photo was taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Frazee Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 As it turns out the photo was taken in 1930, so that poor Hupmobile must have had a rough life. What's a college student doing driving a one-year old luxury car anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
