Title
Hupmobile 5-seater Touring Car 1921
Description
Drawing for an advertisement
Interpretation
The most noticeable identifying characteristic of the Hupmobile was the unusually tall filler neck on the radiator. These improvements were offered on the 1921 models: a windshield wiper as standard equipment; re-designed fenders which closely followed the contour of the wheels; better upholstery in fabric or leather; outside door handles; and most were painted in a color that came to be known as “Hupmobile Blue”, with black fenders. These cars sold for about $1185.
