For sale in our Nashville showroom is this Hupmobile Sedan. In 1911
Hupp became one of two automakers pioneering the use of all-steel
bodies. Nelson approached Hale & Kilburn Company in Philadelphia
looking for help with developing an all-metal body for the Hupp 32.
Hale & Kilburn had pioneered the replacement of cast iron with
pressed steel for many parts for the interiors of railway
carriages. According to Nelson, "None of the Detroit plants would
contract" to make an all-steel body for the Hupp 32. This little
piece of history has been well maintained over the years and looks
to be pretty much original. The steel body was repainted about 8
years ago. The yellow breaks up the black a bit, but keeps it all
classy. The wire wheels have been painted yellow and match the
stripe well. The big white border white wall tires finish off the
exterior theme. The chrome on the headlights and bumpers is still
in very good shape. The Inline 6 cylinder engine is original to the
car. The interior will be you back to a much simpler time. The Moe
Hair looks to be in excellent and with proper care will easily make
it to its 100th birthday. After all, it's only another 15 years
away. This Hupmobile Sedan for sale in our Nashville Showroom and
can be viewed at www.GatewayClassicCars.com including an HD video.
