Wdb1945 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Picture was probably taken in 1923 in Indianapolis. The jaunty driver is my wife’s grandfather, Wilbur Clark Johnson who was a local automobile dealer. The sign implies that the car was built in 1910. Any idea of the make and model. We appreciate any help you can give us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wdb1945 Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 Thank you for the id. I forgot to mention that he was a Hupmobile dealer in Indianapolis at some point. The puzzling part when comparing to other Hupmobile pictures is the section behind the engine cover and in front of the windshield. Was this added because of the extended chassis length? Thank you again for your response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
