Morgansdad Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 There's a 1931 Hupp mobile 4 door sedan for sale near me if anyone is interested. Don't know anything about these cars but it does look good from the pictures. Selling due to health issues. He's asking $7500.00 Again, I don't know if that's a good price or not but like I said the car does look good from the pics. Not trying to help sell the car as I don't know him or the car.

CarlLaFong Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Minor point. The cars built by Robert Hupp were called Hupmobiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Like so many other automotive pioneers, Robert C Hupp was forced out of the company he helped found and engineered in its early years. The bankers and investors always had more immediate goals than the engineers that made the product possible in the first place. Robert Hupp went on to the R.C.H. and Hupp-Yeats Electric automobiles as well as other things, while Hupmobile went on without him. I think I would like to see pictures of the car for sale if there are any available? I am not in a position to buy anything these days, but I still like to look.

Hupp36 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 This Model S Hupmobile would have been made in the Cleveland after Hupp bought the Chandler plant. They used a few of chandlers idea's. Gone were there most of the wooden steering wheels. Took the light, spark and gas levers off the steering wheel. These were prone to break as they were made of pot metal. Starter went to a pull cable. Its a 50 mile and hour car, over that the engine gets too busy. I have 2 of these cars and they drive well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flivverking Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 You old timers need to put your cheaters on..if you look at the facebook ad. The steering wheel and column are modern and the pedal(brake?)is remounted like a kit for rodders in a V8 Ford style. The car was probably being built as a "resto-rod" have modern motor trans and steering etc. but looking stock . I think its to pricey ,bit not insane as the guy values his work to a degree. I sold a cosmetically tired, solid wood no rust ,original top 1930 S ,4 door in super running,driving shape ,everything working propper with 5 new shoes and serviced (overhaul all systems)from bumper to bumper. I was lucky to get 7.500..at borderline preservation conditon 3 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
