Like CHEVROLET and DODGE they made SV engines until 1925 at medium prices.
The first year (1909) a total of 1,618 Hupmobiles were built. In September 1911 Robert C. Hupp left the company. His next car venture would carry his initials, though the R.C.H would not be a success.
The best year for the HUPMOBILE company was 1928 with 65,862 cars sold.
The last year was 1940. After a production of 319 cars only they stopped the car production and went in the heating and air condition industry.
It is a pleasure to collect HUPMOBILE emblems as there are so many versions.
Here you see the first enameled radiator emblem that they used for the Models K and N from 1914 to 1915.
