  3. Now that is awesome!
     
  4. You just CANNOT hack on that car! Cars found like that need to be taken care of, not hacked. That is a rare and wonderful find, and you should take care of it...

    Thats a great looking car with some cool photos.

    Are the Hup's "bigger" cars?

    Awesome find !!! Love the old photos w/ family & dogs. That center brake/running light is really cool...."HUP". Sure would have been great to grab that sign though. Must be pretty rare !!

    Amazing all the parts were there judging by the pictures of how it looked when you found it. Stark contrast to how it looks together. Wow!

    How long did it take to pull it all back together?

    Nice find! The first photo shows some pride in ownership (great depression years) as the dog on the fender was placed on a pillow to keep from scratching the paint.
    I love the photo at the beach with that dog riding in a running board kennel.

    Some things are better left alone, protected and enjoyed. Nice job! I went to look at a Hupmobile a while back, missed the car but scored the sign. Nice job!
