Summary
This unique and well-documented custom roadster, originally built by Earl Ipsen in the early 1950s, is a significant piece of American hot-rodding history. It features a 350-cid Chevrolet V-8 and B&M automatic transmission, along with modern mechanical upgrades like power-assisted hydraulic brakes and rack & pinion steering, all accomplished without modifying the original chassis. Fully restored, this Hupmobile has won several awards and retains its classic-era speedster look.
