ONE OF 11 LEFT AND IT HAS BEEN MODIFIED FOR TODAY'S DRIVING! A CLASSIC ANTIQUE!
This 1913 R-C-H "TwentyFive" is understood to be one of 11 left out of the original near 12,000 built between 1912 through 1915. Richard Craig Hupp (R-C-H), who also built the Huppmobile (which was around until 1941), built this luxury Sedan Convertible on the theory you could own a real gem for under $1000, compared to similar models that sold for over $2000 back in the 1900's. As you look at the photos, you will realize what this 4 door represented back in the day.
The Franklin Car Museum of Tucson, AZ, restored this Antique, with upgrades to include a 100 amp hour battery, 12vdc conversion, electric starter (no hand cranking required), electric bullet headlights & side lights, and a non-synchro-mesh transmission (3 speed & reverse), so this beauty can be started from the drivers seat, put in gear, and accelerate with a pedal, shift with a pedal, and brake with a pedal. You now can picture yourself cruising in a parade, in the neighborhood, or at a car show, with the look of 1913, yet an easy driveable convertible. It holds 5 passengers, sits up on non-skid 32X3 tires, mounted to Wood Artillery type wheels, and the top is an easy up and down function (manual of course)! One thing is for sure, you will get the looks, the photo opportunities, and an audience that all antique lovers would want.
Powered by a 4 cylinder, long stroke engine, which features a 3 1/4 inch bore, 5 inch stoke, and two bearing crankshafts. Now that is some classic engineering, to say the least. Crown Concepts has photo albums of the restoration, an original advertising for the sale of price of $950, and the R-C-H engine assembly diagram. We are excited to have something so different, so original, and a rare find in our showroom. Take a look, call for an appointment (1-520-900-7586), or come to our showroom, and see it in person. This is a special find, so be first.
