General Manager Announces
Stand Pat Policy on 1925
Unique Features.

The policy of the Hupp Motor Car
Company of Detroit, is not to make
seasonable changes Speaking on be-
half of the company and commenting
on its new line for 1913 General Man
ager c. ID. Hastings said;
Practically the only radical changes
we ever made came at the time of last
seasons shows. Then it was that we
made known that great advance in au-
tomobile engine construction, the long
stroke motor. We were the forerunners
with this feature; and that we had Sc
cured a valuable innovation has been
proved not only by the success of our
cars, but also by the general unanimity
of other manufacturers in adopting this
type for their 1913 line. The reason why
the long stroke motor has become stand
ard is because 1t increases the pulling
power
THE design of the Hupmobile bodies,
as revealed at that time, was also
unique. The construction we adopted
enabled us to- get our car closer to the
ground than any other that did not use
the underslung style. The body was
built with long, low, straight lines. the
advantages being a minimum of side
sway and of wind resistance 1t also
helped in pulling power, speed and
mileage per gallon of gasoline. 1t d.
unfinished the possibility of skidding and
made 1t almost impossible for the car
to turn over.
In our 1913 line we stand pat on
. l,ae g,
pletely demonstrated their permanent
value and their popularity. We have,
however, added numerous refinements
and bettered our equipment. We be-
lieve that, as in the first year of Hup-
mobile history, so in 1913 this car will
remain unique
THE standard color of our cars is
black; the trimmings are black and
nickel Among the new features of the
equipment are a mohair top with en-
velope, Jiffy curtains, rear shock alb
sorber and Prest-o-Lite tank.
THE line for 1913 includes the "32"

"S2" roadster. fully equipped, chassis
and specifications same as touring car,
at 1876; the go h, p. runabout, fully

So delivery fully equipped, chassis
same as touring car. inclosed panel
body carrying capacity 500 pounds, at
$3.50 This latter car is an absolutely
new feature of the Hupmobile line.
THE Hupmobile roadster promises to
| be peculiarly successful car and it is
proving popular with people who usual
| iy require a car of higher price. 1t is
racy in appearance, has a special top
and turtle-b back, dust proof compart-
| ment in the rear that gives distinction
: to the design This compartment is
very desirable, as 1t can be used for
