Descriptive Information

Title
Hupmobile 1938
Description
Photograph, b/w
Interpretation
This sedan came in two versions, one with a bustle back trunk and this model with the flat back trunk. These cars were more streamlined than most cars of the time. New for most car manufactures was the use of plastic on the dashboard. Due to the instability of early plastics, they warped, cracked and discolored after a few years.
