1928 Hupmobile Series A

The Hupmobile was an important player in Detroit's automobile industry from the company's beginning in 1909, through founder Robert C. Hupp's departure in 1911, to a damaging corporate battle for control during the Depression to its unfortunate demise in 1940 amid styling grace and bankruptcy.

The first 'Hupmobile' was shown at the Detroit Automobile Show in February 1909. Sales in 1928 topped 65,000 and the defunct Chandler-Cleveland Motors Corp. of Ohio was purchased for expanded production.

This automobile was discovered in the back of an office building in Greenfield, Oh in June 1990 needing total restoration. The owner restored the automobile himself and it was completed in 1992.
