Vehicle Description
Vehicles like this unique, one of a kind 1931 Hupmobile street rod
do not come around often. This particular traditional hot rod
started its life as a 4 door convertible, but finds itself as a
roadster pick up. Street rods like this Hupmobile are a true vision
and passion that flows through the builders mind and hands. Every
inch and part of this truck has been carefully chosen to make this
a never seen before, or again traditional street rod. Just some of
those special features include: 1939 GMC grill shell with hand
crafted stainless steel insert. 1952 Mercury rear axle and tube
front axle with friction shocks. Custom shift knob created from
tranny gears from a Vespa 400 microcar. 1953 Olds grill bar that
was converted into the rear bumper with unique Lowmobile script
lettering. Pin striping by Allen Yuhasz. Powered by a 120 HP 1950
Ford flathead 242 Cu IN V8 and backed by a T5 5 speed manual
transmission. Some more nice touches to the engine are the twin 2
barrel Holley 94 carburetors, factory aluminum intake, custom made
brass carb stacks, and the handmade exhaust headers with baffles.
The frame, interior, floors pans, trans tunnel, dashboard, rear of
cab, pick up bed, and windshield frame have been all handmade. When
you come across a well built street rod like what we have here, you
know it was built out of passion. There are just too many special
features on this vehicle to be able to list them all, like the
copper coils for cup holders, it just needs to be seen. This way
cool Hupmobile also caught the eye of Ol' School Rodz magazine and
was featured in the November 2015 issue. This particular vehicle is
on consignment and is for sale at the best offer.
