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?

Exterior and Interior

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.
