48special Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hello all , I recently purchased a 1931 Hupmobile Century Six Sedan and the outside top insert is damaged. What is the correct grain pattern? It currently has the remnants of the long grain pattern that you would find on a model A. Is this correct? I’m new to Hupmobiles so I am unsure. Also where is the best place to find the material? Thank you in advance, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lump Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I suggest that you join the Hupmobile club right away. They have individuals available for answering fellow club members questions, with different folks specializing in different models and years. There will be a few Model S experienced folks willing to help you there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp36 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 About 20 years ago I picked up a Model S body that was removed to use the frame for a roadster. I have a good frame that the body will go on. The top material is original and it has no pattern, its all smooth. If I was to do your top, I would use smooth black vinyl. It would not need any sealing like the canvas that was used originally. You should be able to buy this material form a company that installs convertible tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48special Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Thank you both for your replies. I had my application in to join the Hupmobile Club before I even had the car in my possession. I look forward to the magazine and the technical help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
