Pointed out by my buddy Jim.  Possibly for sale, owner is slightly coy.

The "442" designation confused me and maybe somebody can explain.  The car has a 122" wheelbase so it should be 422 the way I understand it for a 1934.   It is the smaller "F" straight eight.

Manny and the boys seem to have cornered the market.

Ex-Jim Brucker, Ex-McGowen Brothers 1932 Hupmobile I-226 Sport Coupe

$135,000.00

This is one of only two 1932 Hupmobile I-226 eight cylinder sport coupes in existance that was designed by Raymond Loewy. In fact this was Lowey’s debut as an automotive designer and arguably one of his greatest designs. This car is just amazing to see in person. It is so different from the norm of American classics, it was different back then and even more so today. It has such a youthful and sharp style that is just so cool. When sitting in the car, you sit low with a little windshield and airplane type gauges in your face. And when getting out the suicide doors swing out like a French Delahaye or Delage and its just got it, whatever it is. It has crisp lines with its very sharp raised moldings and panels, cycle type front fenders, ‘surf board” type running boards with chrome guards and dual Lorraine windshield spotlights. Even the roof is so low that it has a chopped look from the factory. One of the best automotive designs of the art deco era.

This car was previously owned by Jim Brucker and part of his famous “Cars of Stars” Museum in California and then later sold to the well known McGowen brothers in Branford, Connectiocut. It is an outstanding original car with original paint and a beautifully restored interior. Mechanically the original straight eight cylinder engine runs incredibly well and it drives great. A very significant car and a significant Lowey design on offer for the first time in 40 years.
