1930 Hupmobile Sales Brochure

Artifact Overview
This brochure's Art Deco look projected an up-to-date image for the 1930 Hupmobile DeLuxe Eight. The Hupp Motor Car Corporation highlighted the vehicle's modern detailing -- interior lights, ashtrays, and instrument panel -- alongside traditional mechanical features. Visually, there was nothing stodgy about the 1930 Hupmobile or its sales literature.
