Hupmobile backseat memories



David Smallacombe reports: "A follow up to the 'Back Seat Mystery'. When Kit Foster and others suggested that the car could be a Hupmobile it brought back memories of my father's 1934 Hup. It was around the early to mid-nineteen fifties and I would have been eight to about thirteen when we had it. As you can see from the photo it was kept as immaculate as our nature strip grass. I cannot recall the original colour but dad soon sprayed it silver blue, which from memory he seemed to do more than once. I was positive it did not have the chrome tubes on the seats (as in the "Mystery" photo) but I could be wrong. I do vividly remember the gear lever knob and dash knobs in dark cream with brown flex through them.

The back wheel in the photo is not the same as the front, this was because dad broke...

Hupmobile had seven models on five wheelbases in 1934. Not all of them were Aerodynamic, like David's father's, and apparently not all Aerodynamics had wrap-around windscreens or chrome tube seats. For 1935 there were five models on four wheelbases. Some were sixes, some eights. Can any Hupp authority give us a catalogue synopsis?
