1913 Hupmobile Model 32 Tourer

Hupmobile was a mid-market automobile manufacturer and its Model 32, introduced in 1912, was more powerful than any previous model. The lightweight and sturdy all-steel body was produced by railway carriage builders Hale & Kilburn. Even though the company's founder, Robert Craig Hupp, had departed the firm by this point in history, the company continued its upward trajectory, selling over 12,000 examples of the Model 32 in 1913.

This particular 1913 Hupmobile Model 32 Tourer is an unrestored example in original condition. It is a five-passenger tourer that has distinct high-mounted headlamps, cowl lamps, passenger side view mirror, running board-mounted acetylene tank, and period accessory Boyco fluid canteens. There are large-diameter artillery wheels and close-fitting fenders. The interior has black upholstery, dash-mounted spark and throttle levers, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a Stewart speedometer, and a horn.
