Like a shortened Chrysler Airflow. Sub zero.

 

[Grandea GTR]

I'm not sure, so meh. But...

Is that thing sticking out the back the rear seat?

 

[Famine]

Needs more gangsters with tommy guns riding the side plates.

Above the spare tire? Because yes, that folds out into a rumble seat, or it's nickname: mother-in-law seat.

 

[TheCracker]

Vintage car. Uncool.

 

[mustang fanatic]

Vintage car. Uncool.

Anyways, the coupe looks quite nice. Cool.

 

[TheCracker]

It's true. Most pre-war cars are uncool.

 

[synchromesh]

@GranTurismo916 Uh oh. New fad? Seriously Uncool Because Vintage Car?

 

[lxmmy]

Uncool.

 

[Adamgp]

Rare and good looking. Plus rumble seats are awesome.

SZ.

 

[All Your Base]

It's name is seriously uncool, but the car is cool.

 

[Tyger]

High cool, never saw this before but looks like a Ford with art deco pretensions. Particularly like the coupe. Pretty car.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Style.

 

[Dagger311]

Rare antique American car from a lesser known manufacturer, and I saw the very one pictured in the OP, so...

 

[Joey D]

Very much a mafia looking car, I'm going with cool.

 

[Dan]

I've never heard of this car, but I'm glad I found out about it. It has a beautiful design, rumble seats, a sick hood ornament, and with a name like "Hupmobile," you can't go wrong.

Sub. Freakin'. Zero.

 

[Slash]

I read this as "Humpmobile". Had to do a double take.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

"Hupmobile" is a terrible name. Looks like a GTA clone of a Dick Tracy vehicle. Pre-war cars can be cool, but this is the obscure hipster equivalent of pre-war cars.

Uncool.

 

[SVX]

@GranTurismo916 Uh oh. New fad? Seriously Uncool Because Vintage Car?

Uh oh. New fad of complaining how other people vote?

Oh wait.

 

[Mr_X]

Seriously meh

 

[CTznOfTime]

You guys all missed it....


It should be SZ just for its name:

There are a few obvious intentional typos.... This car is totally Gangta way before its time.

It should be called:
Humpmobile 69 G spot

Voted Cool because this car is so hot it melted the ice...

... You know from the guns banging in the back seat...


What?

 

[niky]

I have several encyclopedic volumes of classic cars and unusual vehicles.

I have never heard of this one. Which is strange, as it's rather pretty.

Cool beans.

 

[synchromesh]

Uh oh. New fad of complaining how other people vote?

Oh wait.

It's a forum. Everybody complains.
But I like it.

I'm going to complain about your opinion as it isn't the same therefore it is wrong.

*gasp* Is it possible you glossed over it or does someone at a publishing company somewhere have a hangin' rope with their name on it?

Always loved the headlights--SZ.

Nope. Closest is the 1925 R Touring (just checked). Have never seen this one.

Now that I've seen it, I really like it.
