Car: 1941 Hupmobile Skylark
Owners: Allan and Penny Weinstein
Location: Not Provided
Details: Hupmobile bought the Cord body dies after their demise in 1937. In 1940, in partnership with Graham, Hupmobile built 319 cars, called the Hupmobile Skylark and Graham built approx 1500 cars called the Hollywood Graham. Hupmobile used a 6 cylinder Hupmobile engine, while Graham used a Graham supercharged 6 cylinder engine. Both car's drive trains were changed to rear wheel drive. Both companies ceased production after 1940, and any unsold cars were retitled as 1941 models. There are less then 40 Hupmobile Skylarks left worldwide. My father and I purchased the car in 1985 and underwent restoration. The Hupp Skylark underwent a refreshed restoration in 2017. In memory of my parents, Dr. & Mrs. Frederick Weinstein, I proudly present our 1941 Hupmobile Skylark.

Car: 1942 Chrylser Royal Business Coupe
Owner: Mark Becker
Location: Jacksonville, Florida, Class: American Antique 1932-1948
Details: The car was shipped new to a dealer in a small town in Pennsylvania. Its three prior owners lived within a short distance of the delivering dealer. I found the car on Hemmings in an ad with no pictures. It had been restored but not to Concours level. The brake, fuel and electrical systems needed attention. The engine compartment and undercarriage required detailing. The paint was wet sanded and polished. The interior required new flooring and all upholstery needed tightening, adjustment or replacement. The marbelized interior plastics are a one year only pattern and consequently are very rare and hard to find. 2020 Gasparilla Concours d’Elegance Accepted Participant.

Car: 1939 Ford Business Coupe
Owner: Steven Haigler
Location: The car is located in Tampa, Florida
Description: This iconic 1939 Ford coupe is a 2 seater business model. Having an extra large trunk area the business coupe was ideal and preferred by traveling salesmen since they could carry the wares/products to sales calls. The original build was completed in Canada in the early 1990's. More recently the car was in Arizona and Texas. There are several unique features which preserve the integrity of the original manufacturing beauty .... to preserve the dash and passenger leg room the air conditioning evaporator and blower is in the trunk and the vents are mounted on the rear deck. Color is Jefferson Blue. 2020 Gasparilla Concours d'Elegance accepted participant. Unfortunately I am having trouble loading picures.

Car: 1932 Chrysler CL Imperial Convertible Coupe, Lebaron
Owner: Donald Bernstein
Location: Clarks Summit, PA
Details: Walter Chrysler entered the fine car market in 1931 with the luxurious Imperial. Unfortunately, by the time the Ralph Roberts-styled Imperial came to market, the demand for high-end automobiles had all but disappeared. As such, Chrysler built only about 220 CL Imperials for the 1932 model year of which just 28 were fitted with the convertible coupe body. This car was originally delivered new in Portland, Oregon and is fitted with a body by LeBaron – the coachbuilding firm founded in 1924 by Thomas Hibbard and Raymond Dietrich. Power is supplied by a “Red Head” 135hp 385cid in-line eight-cylinder engine. Restoration was completed in the mid-2000’s.
From the Radnor Hunt Concours.
