I participated in an orphan car rally ten years ago. There was a young man in his twenties with a 1920 Hupmobile like this one. It was all original, and it ran like a top. He kept up with all the other cars. At first glance it looked rough, but everyone loved it, including me. Great episode.
For WYR, first scenario Hupmobile, second scenario Hudson 6. Those running boards were almost wide enough to hold passengers. And I really like the leather seats!
Hi Jay! Wish I'd have seen that Hupp at the NFL Hall of Fame! Don't remember seeing it there, seems like I would have taken a pic had it been there. Did the Hall of Fame, McKinley Memorial and Museum last time that I was up there. If the auto museum had been there and we missed it, I would be MAD, because that looks cool! You know why the 1920 Hupp was in the Hall of Fame? The NFL was actually formed in the local Canton Hupmobile dealership in 1920! I'm sure all the football fans know about that. WYR's wanted to pick the HUPP in the worst way but DUDE you gave me a Haynes in the first one!! Made in Indiana! Number two there was a HUDSON SIX!!! Still love the Hupmobile, though! My Dad once told me that when he was a kid a "bulldog hupp" ran over one of his feet! He was uninjured as the dirt was soft under his foot!! This would have been in the 1920's and the Hupp at least 10 years old or more!
I spent weeks digging in the old Taylor farm dump searching to find an old Hupmobile, but all I found were some fenders! Thanks for the episode on Hupmobile Jay!! 🗄️😊
Jay, just discovered something of interest to all like us. Crazy '80s Car Museum, Dwight, Illinois. Features everyday cars and other memorabilia from mid-70s to late '80s. This is the era when government intervention, OPEC discourse and Japanese innovation redirected everything automotive in the USA.
That Hupp was a pretty nice car for 1920. I wish you had sat in the back seat, it looked like it had acres of kneeroom! Awesome video, but the NTT segment- man, I'm old, but not old enough to know an Eddie Cantor song! I know who he was, but not his music. Great vid, Jay!
Hahahaha eh people have been saying get tunes the match the cars I was like no one will know the songs from the teens unless I do she’s coming around the mountain but everyone knows that one lol
The Indian episodes is going to rock there are so many advertisement pieces available for that company and I figured we should start with the first motorcycle company right?…
Another great episode, Jay. I have watched other producers car videos. Some of them have attempted to copy you, but they can't quite do it. WYR Chandler, and Hupmobile . Among the affordable cars that didn't make ut out of the depression, I always liked Hup. It is amazing that Hup could be taken seriously let alone start a car company and attract investors with only a few thousand dollars.
I’ve noticed that too I think a lot of times we try to put our own spin on it kind of thing, but everybody does it completely different like I can tell you how I shoot but everybody hold the camera different. Everybody has a different way of seeing things… =) Sweet choices happy you dig this channel
a Hupmobile was on the back of our $10 BIll, until the last redesign, for a very long time! Yep, that is what that car is near the Treasury building.... Hupmobile R 20 Nash, called the Kenosha Duesenberg for a reason....
4:39 _"... changed their name to RCH, ..."_ When I was young, back in the 1970s, RCH was a, ahem, measurement, a very small measurement, which I can't type here, but a red something hair. I guess about 1/32 nd.
Would You Rather: 1. Hupmobile R Series. 2. 1920 Nash, always a sucker for anything Nash or AMC. My impression is that a lot of smaller, independent auto makers wanted to cash in on the economic boom of the Roaring 'Twenties by getting into upscale high profit margin cars, which was fine as long as the 'Twenties roared, but when they crashed, those independents were left holding the bag with an upscale product nobody could afford.
No safety locks against theft were common in vehicles built 104 years ago. All vehicles were built on frames, essentially trucks, easy to modify into trucks for any personal or commercial needs. The ground clearance was better than in modern trucks. Even today in 2024 the design of commercial trucks include fenders with headlights on them like in all vehicles built untill the end of 1950ties.
Yes, I wanted to go back and fix that but I totally forgot to I’ve been dealing with service was very spotty today where I was even with an Internet box I couldn’t get Internet connection.. 100 million is what was supposed to have been said
That's a clean and basic early auto...could almost be the "generic" auto of the early 20's. When I think of shelling out the equivalent of almost $20k for this vehicle new it doesn't seem like such a deal.😐 I'm thinking I'd go with the Chandler or Nash over this buggy, but then simple back then was probably better!
They had to outlaw children sent by postal service??!! For God's sake was that really a thing people did?? How many died??? Oh, the Hupmobile coverage was good 👍 😅

12:40 I'm surprised they had vacuum wipers in 1920.
Cool old car Hupmobile- Hudson that old firetruck in the back ground looks like a Seagrave fire engine.
Boy... That Hupp was a regular fire breathing beast of a powerhouse 😂
I know right hold on to your hats

Nice Hupp. First pick 1920 Chandler, second 1920 Hupmobile. R series , looking forward to the Indian episode .
The Indian episodes is going to rock there are so many advertisement pieces available for that company and I figured we should start with the first motorcycle company right?…
@@What.its.like. Have the Indian history book published in 2001, have to dig it out and do my homework .

Resettable trip odometers, it amazes me at how early the trip odometer came into use. So my WYR would be the car with one, Hupmobile.
Sweet choice it’s really cool to see features on cars also the windshield wiper
Huppmobile has always been one of my favorite automobiles
34 is a really good year for hupmobile Super underrated overlooked company
Sporty looking car. I love it and I’d choose it in the first scenario but I’d choose the Hudson Six in the second.
Sweet choices
Sharp looking car. WYR: Hupmobile, Nash. I'd like to get me some Shredded Krumbles!
Sweet choices
It is a beautiful automobile! I would pick the model 55, and the Hudson 6! 😎

9:20 I don't think I've EVER seen a running board that dwarfs your shoe !
Hahaha those running board were wide
Yeah, and on the pads there was that piece that went up, I bet was meant to be a boot scraper.
Ha! Yep, those size 12's don't often get shown up by a running board!

nice
Inflation and regulation suck. You damn right on that one!!!
You mean 100 million? 🙂 WYR: 1) and 2) Actually, none of them blow up my skirt... lol... Love the White Star ad... my other passion, ocean liners!
Yes thank you for that correction
That’s awesome I love ocean liners as well I was stoked when I found that ad =)
00:00 the census reported the US population was over 100 million, not 1 million in 1920. Oops!
Yes, great catch I meant to fix that service has been spotty
Appears to be a well made and put together. Was there quality in the parts..or everything
Would fall apart in a short period of time? 😮😮
Fit and finish varied between cars much like now the only difference people didn’t get there micrometers out and measure door gaps lol
@@What.its.like. Was there longevity in the engine and transmission lasting?
@@williamoneal2763 more maintenance was needed flat tappet valves need adjustments etc
The population reached over 100 million ...106 million ...
Yes, I wanted to go back and fix that but I totally forgot to I’ve been dealing with service was very spotty today where I was even with an Internet box I couldn’t get Internet connection.. 100 million is what was supposed to have been said
@@What.its.like. I didn't think 1 mil was correct. Hey we all make mistakes.
Hupmobile R, Nash Type 690.

Hahaha the song is from the 20s =)
@@What.its.like. Which 20s?
Haha right 1920s
@@What.its.like. I don't know any songs from the 1920s, so I wouldn't have gotten it anyway. Gave a good guess.
Thanks Jay lost sound part way through! Oh well 🫡🇺🇸👍🏻
Chandler then Hupmobile. 20 Hudson then Hupmobile

Oh, the Hupmobile coverage was good 👍 😅

Dad said he had one as a teen they must have been available for 100$ or less years later cause he had thing for 100$ cars 🫣
