hupmoble

I have a 1928 hupmoble and I am curious if anyone else is hotrodding one. The car is complete less drivetrain. I am also curious as to the value.

A buddy of mine had one in HS. We had a lot of fun with it. As I recall it had mechanical brakes which were a challenge to keep adjusted. The car was huge. Especially the back seat.

Put a modern drive line in it and a mild motor and have fun.

Right On Bentwings who would have ever dreamed of street rodding a 1925 Chevy 4 door sedan but it does make one sweet rod I get lots of kicks out of it. If you want a rod that everyone likes build a 32 ford coupe but if thats not important build what you like and they will like it, after all! Cut it, chop it, over power it, and drive it

There was a late 20s Hupmobile coupe sold at the car show/flea market today. I do not know what it brought since I only looked at it after a Sold sign was posted on it. It will make a nice street rod after replacing the drive train and wooden spoked wheels.
