Found this sedan, now WTF is it.

Got a lead on this car, anybody know what it is? Packard maybe? Has some nice lines to it..

 

no clue.but is has style

 

Looks like a 33/4 Ford body with another company's fenders hood etc.

 

Sure looks like it doesn't it B-bob.

 

Looks like a Ford that's been customized..

I tend to agree with Bob,,33/34 Ford Body.

The hood is hard to peg as is the grill. HRP

 

I think it is the 1934 Hupmobile standard 6. Is this the model that used Ford four door sedan bodies?

Great looking car which appears to be very solid, nice find.

 

The grille and hood seem to blend perfectly onto that 34 ford looking body. I don't know 34 bodies that well. I would tend to think its something other than a ford.
I am sure someone here knows.

 

I see a similarity to a 33/34 but believe that it is a 34 Plymouth. I stand corrected Hupmobile

 

Wow....never seen that before. Pretty cool car!

 

It is a 1934 Hupmobile it was the cheaper model that used the Ford based Murray body.

 

sweet, thanks for the info! Now just waiting for the guy give me a price to see if I'm gonna bring it home

 

here is another picture.

 

You guys are slipping, took you almost 15 minutes to identify an obscure old car, what's up with that. We need a faster response time. LOL

 

Hupmobile

 

Yes Hup. The frame on those is huge compared to a Ford. Maybe 5"-6" high.

 

I knew what it was all along...Really...

 

hup for sure! build something cool out of it. here is a 32 hupmobile 3 window I built.

 

Yep , that is a Hup

and if my memory serves me correct ............Hup , also used the Ford 3 window coupe body with roadster type doors on it ( that is the side windows were frameless )

 

Man , thats a great little coupe ........Mr 'Deville

 

wow! learn something new every day.

 

As others have said, '34 Hupmobile. It's a Series W-517 sedan. Really unique how the running board and front fender meet.

Here's a restored one (you'll have to scroll down)

I would have been here earlier, but was finishing mowing the grass, sorry.

 

Wonder what that confunction of water pipe is for??? Turbo plumbing??????????? Doesn't the grill emblem have an "H" on it?? Cool find.

 

What's with all of those head bolts?
I'm trying to picture the size of the cylinders from the location of the spark plugs and something looks weird.
Maybe some of them don't go through to the block.

...or is this post going to embarrass me somehow....

 

3 3/8" inch bore

 

Hup there's one for sale here in Connecticut

 

A Packard grille is very unique and instantly recognizable. As been pointed out by many, Hupmobile it is.

 

I never knew that Hup used Ford bodies! Pretty wild. So do you think that Hup bought them through Henry or directly from Murray? Just curious if Henry took a percentage............Don.

 

Hup used Cord bodies too.
