1 Hupmobile I-226 eight cylinder sport coupes in existence that was designed by Loewy. In fact this was Lowey’s debut as an automotive designer and arguably one of his greatest designs. This car is just amazing to see in person. It is so different from the norm of n classics; it was different back then and even more so today. It has such a youthful and sharp style that is just so cool. When sitting in the car, you sit low with a little windshield and airplane type gauges in your face. And when getting out the suicide doors swing out like a French Delahaye or Delage and it’s just got it, whatever it is. It has crisp lines with its very sharp raised moldings and panels, cycle type front fenders, ‘surf board” type running boards with chrome guards and dual windshield spotlights. Even the roof is so low that it has a chopped look from the factory. One of the best automotive designs of the art deco era.
This car was previously owned by Jim er and part of his famous “ of s” eum in fornia and then later sold to the well-known McGowen brothers in nford, Connecticut. It is an outstanding original car with original paint and a beautifully restored interior. Mechanically the original straight eight-cylinder engine runs incredibly well and it drives great. Up for sale first time in 40 years this year.
