1910 Hupmobile Model 20 Runabout

This 1910 Hupmobile Model 20 Runabout represents an early and largely forgotten era of American motoring, introduced at the 1909 Detroit Automobile Show. Engineered by Emil Nelson, it featured an 18/20 horsepower four-cylinder engine with a high-tension magneto and a two-speed sliding-gear transmission, distinguishing it from other low-priced cars of its day. The delicate-looking runabout body, rolling on wooden artillery wheels, was capable of speeds up to 45 miles-per-hour.
