It isn’t often that you get a chance to own a vehicle that’s over one hundred years of age, but that's exactly what you could get with this car. With a century of heritage, a look at this 1909 Hupmobile Model 20 is more than sufficient to show you how far we’ve come. This vintage car has received a full restoration with less than 100 miles of running reported since an engine rebuild was performed. We’re also informed that it’s a garage-kept vehicle. Hence, you can enjoy the first model produced by an automaker that debuted in 1909 and was gone by 1940. That makes this 1909 Hupmobile Model 20 an important piece of American history; will you be its next custodian?

We’re told that the car sports its original iron body, albeit it appears to wear a new coat of pleasant red paint. Feast your eyes on what car design from the 1900s was like. Furthermore, this 1909 Hupmobile Model 20 has a host of new exterior parts, including new lights, new fenders, and new wooden spoked wheels. We’re also informed that the tires are new, so you don’t need to worry about driving on aged rubber. The car’s black soft top is also said to be new. Inside, or what can be called inside, since this car is pretty open, lies a bench seat with new upholstery for the driver and a lucky passenger to sit upon and travel. As you might glean from the photos, you won’t find much in the way of creature comforts. This is simplistic and spartan motoring at its finest.
The engine that propels this 1909 Hupmobile Model 20 is claimed to be a 3.5-liter inline-4 unit that powers the rear wheels via a 3-speed manual transmission. Fed via a single-barrel carburetor, the engine is said to be kept cool via its original radiator. We’re also informed that there is front and rear elliptical leaf spring suspension.

Never has a car had more of an impact on automotive manufacturing processes than Henry Ford’s famous Model T. It wasn’t his first car, but it was the one that mobilized not only Americans, but the world. Made between 1908 and 1927, the Model T sold over 15 million units. Its record would not be surpassed until the Volkswagen Beetle many decades later. Another interesting fact is, as the Model T’s production processes were streamlined and optimized, the price of the car actually reduced! For example, a Model T cost US$825 in 1908 for the Runabout variant, with the Touring being priced at $850. By 1924, when this 1924 Ford Model T Touring was released, the Runabout was priced at $265! Being a Touring, this car would have cost a little more, but definitely less than $300. Isn’t that amazing? This particular car appears to have undergone a full restoration which is necessary when you consider that it’s over 100 years old! Now, it’s available in Longmont, Colorado.
Henry Ford’s crowning glory, the Ford Model T not only revolutionized mobility, but the way cars are made. This was the vehicle that led to modern assembly line and mass standardization techniques of auto manufacturing that are the backbone of today’s automotive factories. Introduced in 1908, over 15 million were sold by the time the Model T was retired in 1927. Also, it was one of those rare cars where the price actually reduced as time went on – due to the production optimizations of course. It’s said that in 1908, a Model T runabout cost US$825, whereas by 1927, it had dropped to US$ 360! However, finding a Model T today isn’t that easy because they weren’t exactly preserved. After all, we’re talking about a car that’s over a century in most cases. An example like this 1924 Ford Model T Truck that you can buy from California right now. It’s of the truck body style and is the perfect vintage car to own if you’re brave. Why brave? Well, let us tell you.
