The Hupp Motor Car Company showed it's first car for sale at
the Detroit Automobile Show in early 1909 and sold their last automobiles
in 1941. Founded in Detroit by Robert Craig Hupp, his first automobile
was the advanced 17 bhp Model 20.
The fat years of Hupp began in 1922 ,when production was nearly
triple that of the year prior (13,626 to34,168). Their peak production
year was in 1928, when nearly 66,000 Hupmobiles were manufactured and sold.
In 1932, a Hupmobile Comet, driven by Russell Snowberger, finished
fifth in the Indianapolis 500. This impressive showing did not gain customers
eyes and sales continued to decline. Quickly.
This four passenger coupe is a 1933 Eight 322, powered by a 96
bhp 8 cylinder.
