Motoexotica is offering another very rare pre-war automobile. This 1930 Hupmobile Model S three window coupe was purchased from a gentleman in Florida and has gone through an older restoration. The car is in very good, original condition and drives great. With the rare steel disc wheel option and single side mount spare, you are sure to be the only one at the next car show with one of these classics. During 1925, Hupp Motor Car Co. introduced the new Series E cars with an eight-cylinder in-line L-head, 60-Horsepower engine. In 1926 the Series E was joined by the new Series A automobiles with a six-cylinder, L-head, 50-horsepower engine. The Series E and A were offered in touring, sedan, coupes (with or without rumble seats) and roadsters. Both series would remain in production through 1928, when the Series E was replaced with the Model M. The 1929 Model A was one of the first Hupmobile's produced in the new Chandler Cleveland Ohio plant. In 1928, Hupp Motor Car Co. bought the Chandler Car Co. buildings in Cleveland, Ohio, and from 1929 through 1936 Hupp produced automobiles at that site and in Detroit. 1930 saw changes in design, or improvements, which caused new designations to be assigned to the automobiles. The six-cylinder cars were now designated the Model S while the eight-cylinder models were being produced as the Models C, H and U. In 1931 Hupp added another eight-cylinder model designated as the Model L to the lineup while continuing the production of the 1930 line of cars. The steel body on this particular Model S is very solid with no rot or bubbling that we have found. The paint is very presentable overall with some minor nicks and dings but still shows well. All the steel fenders are in very good condition with a single side mount on the passenger side. Both front and rear bumpers are in good condition with no major pitting or damage showing to either. There is a luggage rack in the rear in front of the trunk. Both running boards are solid. Inside, the original style seat has been reupholstered and looks great. The carpet has been replaced as well. All gauges are in good working order as well as the lights. Both side windows as well as the windshield and rear window are solid and not cracked. The six cylinder under the hood is believed to be the original but we are not completely positive. I've included a picture of the engine number for reference. The motor was overhauled during the restoration and the car runs great. The plugs and wires both appear to be newer as well as the wiring. Turn the key and pull on the starter lever and the car fires right up with no hesitation. The three speed transmission shifts great and the clutch is strong. This is a great driving classic that is very rarely seen. The VIN number is S21708.
