HUP HAS LARGEST
EXHIBIT At NEW YORK
Makes an Exceptional Showing of
Various Models, Chassis and
Accessory Parts

With the largest and one of the
handsomest exhibits at the Grand Cen
trai Palace, the Hupmobile makes its
formal bow to the 1915 buying public
at the New York show. Occupying an
excellent position. the showing includes
four separate models, n polished chas-
sis beautifully finished in white, sec
tional parts board of Hupmobile
mechanism, displaying the unique fea-
lures of Hup construction and sepa-
rate exhibits of accessory parts as they
actually appear under working con-
ditions
The 1915 Hupmobile is the result
OF three years of successful work on
the part of Hupmobile engineers. The
new car contains all the essentials in
design that have characterized Hup-
mobiles in the past, and, together with
the number of retinementS and i'm
provements in construction. is a more
efficient and better car than ever.
\ noteworthy feature in the new
stallable. This permits driving in
heavy traffic with perfect confidence
that the motor will not stop. \ lady
can drive the Hupmobile through the
most crowded thoroughfares with the
utmost comfort.
Ample power is provided in the new
motor. which has been increased in
This is brought about through enlarg-
ing the piston displacement and in
creasing the valve sizes to give easy
flow to the gases.
y dainty newcomer in the Hupmo-
bile line which is on display is the
Hupmobile sedan. This sedan car is
equipped with demountable top that
can be affixed by the Hupmobile owner
and for summer driving the top is
removed and you have your open tour
ing car.
In appointments the Hupmobile Sc
dan is as complete as the most lux
uriouS types of enclosed cars. There
is dome light. which can be con.
veniently operated by the driver. the
windows are of high-grade coach glass,
and in the rear compartment are ad-
Unstable for ventilation. The interior
is covered with fawn-colored head
lining and every nicely of equipment is
retained.
The Hupmobile owner now has the
advantage of two cars in one at a slight
additional cost. and in these days
where the motor car is really a greater
necessity In the winter than in the
summer the Hupmobile can be said to
be pre-eminently winter car. There
Is also a coupe top for the roadster
which is removable.
An interesting point of the exhibit.
which will particularly appeal to those
of a mechanical turn of mind and
those who wish to know the insides of
the car, are the parts boards and dis
play of sections of construction, such
as the rear axle. timken bearings, oil
regulator, Zenith carhuretor and pis-
ton and chankshaft assemblies.
These and many other features eN-
elusive of Hupmobile design are shown
and give an idea of the surprisingly
high-grade material that is used
throughout the entire year.
Besides the new offerings, the bigger
and greater Hupmobile, q 1915 "32"
model. the type of car that has been
so successful the past few years, is
also on display.
This is the original long-stroke Hup-
mobile, which brought to the Ameri-
can market the first motor of long
stroke. small bore type, and has now
been so universally adopted through
out the industry.
The "32" in outward appearance re-
mains the same. but minor improve
ments have been added to the me-
chanical features. making the working
parts more accessible for inspection.
The net results of the work of Hup-
mobile engineers in the new cars that
are offered can be summed up in the
statement that the 1915 Hupmobile is
a bigger car, has more power, carries
five passengers with perfect comfort,
and presents satisfactory evidence of
attention to detail with n
real wealth of equipment.
As President Drake expresses it, ''in
the 1915 Hupmobile we have for the
third time created a new class. Six
years ago when the first Hup go ap-
peared it set new pace for small cars.
Three years after that the Hupmobile
'32' again established a precedent for
cars of its class. and it seems to us
that the new Hupmobile is simply fol-
lowing Hup custom and setting new
mark for value and size in the price
