Details

Hupmobile was an American automobile built from 1909-39. The comprehensive restoration began with removing the body from the frame. The chassis is in good shape, with only signs of use but no damage in its past. The engine was removed and rebuilt using many NOS parts, and the transmission was opened, inspected and then reassembled using new seals. The driveline consists of the original 224ci flathead 6-cylinder engine mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. All other elements - such as electrical, preparation for paint, chrome and upholstery - were checked thoroughly and prepared ensuring a proper restoration. No stone was left unturned during the lengthy restoration. There are a few very minor signs of use and age. The two-tone paint job takes advantage of the body's fluid lines to make for natural break points. The beige cloth interior is a pretty accurate representation of what you got in 1934, with basic patterns and attractive original materials. The spacious rumble seat area is trimmed in vinyl for all-weather use. The rear window rolls down effortlessly and the original shade is quite impressive. The suicide doors are a cool look and quite functional, as sliding into the front seat is very easy. The door panels are finished in matching fabric with integrated door pockets.
