American Road Art – Hupmobile & the Hupp Motor Car Co. – VS2788
Hupmobile was an American automobile brand built by the Hupp Motor Car Company, founded in 1909 in Detroit, Michigan, by Robert C. Hupp, a former employee of Oldsmobile and Ford.
Description
Early Success: Hupmobiles quickly gained popularity for being reliable, affordable, and stylish.
1910s: The company thrived during this time, even building a global reputation and establishing dealerships overseas.
1915 Era: This was during Hupp’s peak, and service centers became common across the U.S., hence signage like this one.
Decline: The Great Depression, increasing competition, and internal management changes led to the company’s decline, and it ceased car production in 1940.
Material: Original porcelain enamel on metal (standard for early 1900s signs).
Legibility: Despite aging, the graphics and text remain clear, which is crucial for investors.
Mounting Holes: Presence of mounting holes and signs of use adds authenticity.
