Hupmobile backseat memories

• 

David Smallacombe reports: "A follow up to the 'Back Seat Mystery'. When Kit Foster and others suggested that the car could be a Hupmobile it brought back memories of my father's 1934 Hup. It was around the early to mid-nineteen fifties and I would have been eight to about thirteen when we had it. As you can see from the photo it was kept as immaculate as our nature strip grass. I cannot recall the original colour but dad soon sprayed it silver blue, which from memory he seemed to do more than once. I was positive it did not have the chrome tubes on the seats (as in the "Mystery" photo) but I could be wrong. I do vividly remember the gear lever knob and dash knobs in dark cream with brown flex through them.

The back wheel in the photo is not the same as the front, this was because dad broke...
