Add to SetSummary
Despite success with its low-priced four-cylinder vehicles, the Hupp Motor Car Company introduced more expensive cars in the mid-1920s. The 1929 Century Six and Century Eight models featured six- and eight-cylinder engines, respectively. This advertisement boasted about the cars' precision manufacturing and handsome design. Hupp's move upmarket wasn't popular with economy-minded customers, and the company ended production in 1940.
