- 1941 HUPP SKYLARK
MODEL R - ORIGINAL CAR :
- This 1941 Hupp is one
of the finest examples of an original car in the country.
This Hupp is finished in a highly polished black lacquer.
The body is good with no major dents or rust. The
interior was redone in an original appearance and dash
instruments work properly. The powerplant is the original
101 horsepower inline 6 cylinder connected to the
original 3 speed column shift transmission. All emblems
and chrome bumpers are intact and in good shape. This
vehicle is in near perfect running condition capable of
cruising around town without issue and easily reaching
freeway speeds. This automobile has impressed us all at
The San Diego Collection everywhere from cruising down
the boulevard to just marveling at its
presence.
- If one were to
research the history of the Hupp you will come across an
interesting tale relating this particular vehicle. In
1938 Samuel L.Davis became president of Hupp he brought
with him a new management team who purchased all dies,
tools, and jigs used in the production of the Cord
810/812's for use in the new Hupp. Very few Skylark's
were built in 1938, constructed mainly for shows 4 were
produced and another 31 for display at Hupp dealerships.
Hupp motors cars did fall due to delinquent taxes and
Samuel Davis resigning. Graham-Paige then stepped into
the picture to continue manufacturing the Skylark for
Hupp at the Graham plant; Graham only wanted use of the
dies for his popular model the Hollywood. Graham only
produced a mere 319 Skylark's in 1940 for the Hupp
Company. 239 Hupp's were available for the Hupp
distributors in 1940 leaving only 80 to be sold in 1941.
The Hupp Skylark is a rare and interesting vehicle, this
particular car is titled as a 1941 therefore is a small
handful of only 80 1941 Hupp's ever sold, Graham and Cord
were very successful with this gorgeous body style
although the Hupp is far more rarer. Don't let this rare
beauty pass you by for there will NOT be another like
this.
