The Aerodynamic Hupmobile was originally designed by industrial designer Raymond Loewy in 1934 with assistance from Amos Northup, both early proponents of streamlining. The new Hupmobile eliminated the traditional freestanding headlight assemblies and faired them into the fender catwalks. The initial design also featured a unique wraparound three-piece windshield which gave the illusion of motion while at rest.<\/p>\n

Hupp\u2019s Aerodynamic was an attempt to gently introduce this new aesthetic fashion, as the company was aware of the buying public\u2019s aversion to radical change. Unfortunately, Hupp\u2019s efforts did not yield success, as the company was significantly weakened by the Great Depression and produced its last car in 1940.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
