The Hupp Motor Car Corporation went through a period of rapid changes during the 1920s, with its automobiles growing in size and luxury, and the engines growing in capacity and power, leading to steady gains in production. The Model A was introduced in 1926, replacing the prior four-cylinder model, and rested on a 114-inch wheelbase and was equipped with a six-cylinder engine, producing 57 horsepower. Available as a five- and seven-passenger tourer, roadster, brougham, coupe, saloon, and five-passenger cabriolet.

Manufactured in 1929, the Model A offered was supplied new to the United States of America. A resident of a significant private collection with an oil tycoon in Texas later in life, the vendor purchased the Hupmobile directly from the collection and imported it to the United Kingdom in 2003, remaining in the vendor's ownership since. An older restoration that is still presenting well, the Hupmobile has been uprated with a 2.0-litre Ford Pinto engine and four-speed gearbox, as well as an RS propshaft, with the Hupmobile’s usability significantly increased by the change of running gear. Finished in Maroon over Black paintwork with a Marron interior upholstery, the Hupmobile has been used as a wedding car during current ownership, with the vendor informing that ‘VAS 712’ has been very reliable during this time. Offered with a collection of previous MOT certificates, an Instruction Book, and a current V5C document.
