Hotrodding a Hupmobile?

My thoughts exactly. Good luck on your project!

 

Oh, the memories. I just sent you a pm based on another thread in which you mentioned buying the Hupp. You can disregard the pm. I have a few parts (pair of leaf springs and some others) that I'd be happy to give you if you ever find your way to the Sacramento area.
I was a member of the national Hupp club for awhile, but the newsletter editor put a hot rod hater comment in when is listed my Hupp's original running gear for sale. Best of luck with your project.

While not exactly HAMB-friendly and definitely NOT what I'd do with a Hupp now if I had one, I doodled this Hupp-based screamer quite a few years ago. This was obviously inspired by a certain yellow Willys coupe that was in all the magazines back then. I thought the Hupp looked just as cool as the Willys and was even RARER! Good luck with yours, they really are a cool design!

 

I sent my check to the Hupp club as soon as I got the car home. I'll see if I run into the same attitude.

Now that is a cool design! You've got talent, rrbrucea! Thanks for sharing it.

 

Rare cars , just about to Auction this one in Australia , would be even rarer here I would think , I was thinking full custom !! Cad

 

How about a supercharger like Graham used on their flat head 6's....

 

Good idea! I had the same thought and have already started looking for a good Paxton VS-57. That would help out the 5.75:1 compression ratio. I need to take some measurements and see if it will fit under the hood.

 

Hello,
I am looking for headlight lenses for my 527T, any leads??
Thanks, Ed.

 

Good time to revive this thread. 1934 and big car (T&O) models had different lenses than the later D G & N models which have a peak. Tough to find.

Here are a couple of my Hupps....

 

A couple more shots - grille on purple coupe are not original and this is now being brought back to stock appearance with all the correct trim and widened stock artillery wheels....

Hey, that's me and my dad checking your car out. NSRA Nats about 4 years ago?

 

Tough car. They were at top buy in the mid '30s and very popular. The ones I remember seeing were always clean and sharp looking. If you have one my advice is look around first. Not many of these are left.
