parrts Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Late Model T or early Model A Ford wheels have been adapted. Henry Feinberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 The Hupmobile Model 20, 1909-1911, were beautiful little cars. The next generation, as seen above, were very unfortunate looking, in my opinion. I have heard they're great driving cars, though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We traded our way into a 13 model 32 and kept it just long enough to get it sorted enough to drive around a little. They are wonderful little cars: quick, enough speed for touring with similar vintage cars, but you will not be one of the fast guys on the tour, a wonderful ride for the era, a pretty forgiving gearbox…. They would be on my list for a car to keep around and enjoy as a cheap “brass” car to bum around in… you know, if dodges that fit that role didn’t exist.

wayne sheldon Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 One messed up Hupp. But if the engine and body are in decent shape? The price is right. I wish I could run and look at it cash in hand (right now getting away for a day is worse than the cash?). The wheels are model A Ford (not T). Gold paint doesn't help the brass, and that top has GOT to GO! Hopefully some of the sockets and parts are under that tent? I would also wonder if the front and rear axles were right or messed up badly from adapting those wheels? Yet, somehow, I am drawn to this car. I have always liked early Hupmobiles.

Bloo Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 The closer you look the worse it gets. You would definitely need to crawl all over and under it and have a really good look. Cheap for brass era though. The trouble is you might need a second one in order to build a car. I don't think there is a lot of Hupmobile there.

trimacar Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 The blue arrow behind it appears to be a 1911 Hupp Model 20. Surprisingly common cars, there are hundreds still in existence, but cute as they can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Looks like a good base. Most likely another of those labor of love cars though. I dare say I could probably do a better job fitting a top though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a couple photos of rears of '34 Aero's on Google & the bottoms of the rear windows are slanted down from the center post to the outside. The ones on this white car look straight across.

Joe in Canada Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Looks more like gold paint than it does brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d agree, it just looks Hupp… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
