The 1916 Hupmobile increases power by twenty percent over 1915 without altering design. It tops rivals in hills, sand, mud, and quick pickup at any price. Improvements include Zenith carburetors, enhanced cooling, unchanged oiling, Atwater-Kent ignition, larger crankshaft with longer rods, bigger valves, and a stronger, smoother clutch. New Bijur starting and lighting system mirrors top European and American cars for reliability and efficiency.
A detailed list highlights Hupmobile features including demountable rims dimmer lighting, non skid rear ties and 10 percent over-tired weight, splash plates to protect radiators, exclusive rain vision, spark control and steering column horn, long 118 inch wheelbase, reinforced undercarriage, and genuine leather upholstery. The write up notes alloy axles, spiral bevel gears, nickel steel shaft, wide doors for easy access, and in-house painting for color and durability.
