Car Serial Numbers

The following serial numbers are listed to help identify the year and model of your Hupmobile. These numbers are taken from William Cuthbert's book, The Hupmobile Story, From Beginning to End, 2004, page 175. Corrections to these numbers are made as they are identified by Club members. Few factory records exist that identify models by serial numbers expecially during the period of 1939 to 1940 when the company renumbered 1940 Skylarks to sell them as 1941's.
