Love that flat black 34 Hupp! over hear at Hagen's auto, they had a 37 or 38 hup fourdoor sedan in for repairs, very nice in a wierd sorta way......Roach.
I'm no computer guru but I would give it a shot just to see the car!! A little off topic but here is a 35 picture I found. As much as I loathe lawnchair cars, it is the only car I could find even close.
Willowbilly3. Thank you for posting all of the shots of the Hupp as well as the catalog. It is a unique car and one day I will see it done! CK
The photo of a "38" Hupp by 36C8 is ***led as a 39 but is really a 41. It still is around altough in BAD shape. It has a 35 Ford trunk, fins on fenders, Stude dif., Chevy inline 6 with floor shift trans. The lady who owns it thinks it is a rare prototype Hupp. It has rats, rust, rot and is not for sale....does not ru either..
Hupster, Congrats, there is a picture of your '35 hup in the Febuary Rod and Custom. It is in the Pleasurable Pleasanton coverage, take a look. CBB
The previous year Hupp just used their own tooling from 1932 albeit slightly updated. In 1934 Hupp played it safe, They knew that they were introducing the AeroDynamic Coupe because they wanted to compete with what they knew what Chrysler had up their sleeve with the Airflow. However,because of a depression era fickle public who were really pinching their pennies, they just wanted to cover their position in the market place, so the 34 Hupmobile carried two lines, one higher priced than the other. One rarely sees 34 AeroDynamic Coupes though, so perhaps the Hupp Co. made the correct decission to produce a more conventional model along side the radical appearing for the time AeroDynamic Coupe using the modified Murray Body Co. tooling for the Model 40 Ford to retain their position in the market place.
36C8 this is what the Hupp looks like today....Sad...If Bondo was recycleable the front end woud be worth a fortune.
So, if the 34 Hupp used 33 Ford tooling, what did the 33 Hupp use??? <!-- / message --> For several years up through 1933, Hupp offered around 6 or 7 model lines, using their own sheet metal bodies, frames, driveline, etc. In 1934, only the lowest priced of 7 lines was based on the '33 Ford bodies. This Model W417 had a 117" wheelbase and a flathead inline six. The more expensive models used either inline 6's or 8's, depending on how upscale the pricing. The Model W turned out to be a good move in the depression era, as they sold more than 10,000 of them between coupes and four door sedans. This was well above the output for the other six lines combined in 1934. In 1935, the lineup was similar, with the Model W517 using the '34 Ford bodies. The Model W's kept Hupp a**** the top 15 manufacturers during the worst of the depression, although they staggered off into bankruptcy as the '30's wore on. I could bore you with more of this, but my encyclopedia is at my office. Later, *****6

Here's what a 32 Hupp looks like. This is the one I restored. It's a model F 222, with a straight 8 and free wheeling.
These are very interesting cars. Does anyone have any information on the Russian cars that used 1934 Ford tooling?
