Hupmobile? Gauge Identification Help?

Yep and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Straight from the surviving brain cell to keyboard.

An 'expert' is any guy who knows or can BS you into thinking they know just a teensy bit more than you do - on any given subject!

 

All the original Hupmobile factory (not dealer) stock of parts 1918-1940 survives along with the Graham factory parts stock 1927-1941, in one of the former Auburn factory buildings. Also many of the original factory blueprints. This is the entire remaining inventory from when the respective factories were closed.

Here is the contact info I have: Hupp Factory Parts Service and Graham Factory Parts Service, 1919 South Wayne Street, Auburn, IN 46706 (260) 925 2210

 

my master gauge book goes form the 20's up to the late 60's or so.

44732 is not in my book

 

The stuff was moved from the Auburn plant down the road to another building sometime in the late 50s. I went there a bunch of times in the 60s with my dad hunting Auburn/Cord/Duesenberg parts that had gotten mixed in with the Hupp/Graham stuff by accident. At some point in the 60s somebody spilled the beans about the ACD parts and they were all gone shortly.

I'm not sure they pick up the phone anymore. There has been on again off again rumors of the whole thing getting up for auction. Last year Kruse briefly advertised it but it has never happened.

 

There is a 1935 517W Hupmobile for sale locally that has this dash in it, so you can rule that one out ...

 

I'm beginning to think that these gauges may be from the 1938/39 Hupp 822E/H - they cannot be later than that, as in 1940 (actually 1939) Hupp introduced the Hupp Skylark which was a reworked RWD version of the 1936/37 Cord sedan body, later shared with the Graham Hollywood, after Norman De Vaux, then General Manager of Hupp conned - ooops - I meant 'persuaded' - Graham to build the bodies, when Hupp figured out that the roof was not a one piece stamping but seven pieces hammer welded together and would therefore be both expensive and complex to produce.

Norman De Vaux had bought the dies from Erret Lobban Cord and had sold them to Hupp as part of the deal to weasel himself into the job of running Hupmobile. Hupp used the Cord instrument panel in the Skylark and these gauges are not Skylark. The H logo with the arrow was still used in 1938/39.

 

thanks guys
that 35 dash looks like the same speedometer?
just a different configuration of the other gauges
so maybe a different model?
