First Edition
Oblong folio. 12 x 9 in. [4 pp (umpaginated).] bifolium which opens into 24 x 16 in. dealer poster. Colour illustrations & black & white photos, diagrams. Self-printed colour-illustrated softcovers, cover art of 1935 Hupmobile streamlined Art Deco sedan (couple minor closed tears at lower fore-edges, flight bumping to corners, very minor dustsoiling), still VG- copy, from the Boone & Company dealership in Seattle, WA. First edition of this very rare dealer's promotional brochure extolling the advantages and beauty of the 1935 Hupmobile Series 518 sedan wearing the distinctive Raymond Loewy designs. These Hupmobiles were attractive, comfortable, and reliable, and renowned for their rounded lines, sloping frilles, headlights that flared in the fenders, and the split "Sea Gull" front bumpers. The 1935 featured new "Mouse Ear" vents on the hood sides and a mesh grille. Unfortunately the popularity of the styles attracted a hostile takeover of the company and after fending off the attempt, and unable to secure a Federal Reserve Loan, the company ceased production in late Dec., 1935. No copies in Worldcat.
