American Cars" Beverly Rae Kimes says of Robert Craig Hupp's 1908
prototype car bearing his name, "It was cute and it had moxie."
That was Bev and that was the Hupmobile, too. Hupp left his
eponymous company in 1911, but the cars bearing his name continued
to grow. 1925 was the last year for the classic 4-cylinder
Hupmobile Series R of which this is a rare example. Hupmobiles were
quality automobiles with dramatic, low styling which made them
favorites of the flappers of the Twenties. This 1924 Series R
Special Roadster exemplifies the flamboyant design that made the
Hupmobile a favorite of Twenties' style-setters. It has been given
a repaint in Dark Green with black fenders that is emblematic of
the period, with an associated black interior and top. Fitted with
disc wheels, whitewall tires and a windshield frame mounted rear
view mirror; it is the personification of the Roaring Twenties.37.5
