I really like your analogy Jay with a monopoly game😅. I’ve been in business for 37 years running a breakfast lunch diner here in the suburbs of Boston and you know I can tell you a lot of stories in 37 years. I started at age 22 with $100 in my pocket. From the first 3 days I produced a profit of over $500 the first weekend we opened on a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and I said this place is a moneymaker and you’re right you’ve never ever think that the money is going to go the other way how could it? Right? I found myself filing bankruptcy because of the severe weather, and 9/11, and fell behind on bills. I never lived a lavish lifestyle just trying to be ordinary pay the bills. Our prices were very low and our quality was high. What did I know about running a business? ( Except cooking) I always treated my staff very well paying double minimum wage. and when we were super busy I paid them extra. They would stay with me on average for over a decade. Some still with me after 25 years. 😊 After the Great Recession in 2009 I didn’t think we’d come back and losing both parents in with in 2 years. But I got it back together by 2015 and they demolished the building I was renting and we moved to the next city and the little bit saved went to buying the new business and fixing it up. We find ourselves starting over with Covid 19 and being closed for 18 months. We didn’t take any bail outs. I used the last of the savings to pay all bills at my tiny condo and little diner and still paid 50% of 2 key employees. Who I call my friends. Same time the building was sold 3 times and this land lady is a control freak who hates restaurants. Has made it very difficult for us the past 2.5 years. Cost me over $15K in lawyer fees. So anything can happen in business a lot is luck. The business has kept a roof over my head since 1985. I’d do it all again because I love making people happy through great food and being a part of the community.

That was awesome story sorry for the delayed response I wanted to make sure I got everything, thank you so much for sharing all that what is the name of your business is it just breakfast or open for lunch and dinner to I’ve never been to Boston but when I go I want to stop over =)

Note- the only car to appear on US currency was a 1928 Hupmobile. The US $10 bill issued in 1929 had the car on the reverse side, and would remain there into the 1970's.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but leaf springs *were* conventional springs in 1929! Going back to the 17th Cent. no less.. and common up 'til the 1970s..

In the 1950s and 1960s they sent penny postcard to all registered owners of this car offering to provide needed parts.

Some nice Art Deco styling on the interior but the wood wheels in 1929 was a bit out dated

[@trudygreer2491]

According to a 2018 Hemmings article wood-spoke wheels were used "well into the 1930s".. even included a picture of a Hupmobile wood wheel! Pierce Arrow offered one in '37. I think it's quite beautiful, with the pinstriping, and appropriate to a car of the 1920s..

[@joeseeking3572]

Eventually I'll get to Classic Auto Mall - problem for me is the closest place I'd want to stay is Philly, and I generally Amtrak there and stay somewhere like Rittenhouse where a car is expensive, impractical and a general pain. Having seen their stuff online however, they have very optimistic price expectations for not that great a specimen (kind on both counts). It's very cool that you can come look but can't say I'd ever pay anything close to what they want (the Ebay items remain perennially unsold) Maybe better in person? Very flowery descriptions! Oh, and Murray - it's pronouced with a long 'e': Mur - re. They were a bodybuilder vs. coachbuilder / mass production. For example, they also a contract for some of the Model A body types. Murray, Briggs and Budd were the 1930's biggies. Hupps were solidly Buick territory in those days, not cheap.

This is the most detailed hot video out there because in the way I know that is cause I tried to look up information for this car and it’s very spotty I couldn’t find all the body styles that’s why I just put ads there it broke my heart to do that but I couldn’t find any pictures of a five passenger tourer or a seven passenger tourer I try to be as thorough as possible it’s really hard when you’re trying to do it on a car that’s almost 100 years old that a lot of those cars are just lost to time

[@carlmontney7916]

Another great video Jay. I love how you do the walk arounds and show all the styling points of the vehicles that you are featuring. This one is really nice looking. the All the little touches here and there that you would only notice if you took the time to walk around it. Like the little emblem in the center of the front bumper. And the red pinstriping on the edges of the hood louvers and also along the body lines. The h emblems on the fuel cap. The pinstripes on the wheel spokes, and other small things that overall make for a really beautiful looking design. If you ever get a chance, there's a couple of vehicles I used to own that. I would love to see you feature. One of them was a 62 Buick Invicta convertible. It was light blue with a white top. It was a beautiful car and as a high school senior I was in love with that thing. I bought it the summer of my junior year. I lived in Michigan at the time. And I remember we had a very rainy summer and I think I only got to actually put the top down about 14 days out of the whole summer. The other one was a 1967 Dodge R/T. That big Mopar 440 would really move that thing along. The rear end was geared for highway use and it could easily bury the speedometer. It was a light blue, almost silver with a white interior. Bucket seats center console. It was a really, really nice vehicle. I wish I still had it along with the Buick too. Both were really nice cars.

[@What.its.like.]

I saw a Buick invicta the 1st time I was there and I didn’t do it, it was gone the second time I don’t know if it was moved or sold probably sold I will look for one those are really cool cars. =) They have a pierce arrow if it’s there the next time I go I’m definitely doing that one if they have a Continental Mark to I want to see if there’s any way that I can compare that with the El Dorado brougham because it’s a comparison I don’t think that’s ever been done and it would be really cool to see those two cars together Thank you so much I’m glad you love this channel.. I really want to find some ambassador wagons this year as well as packard wagons and some stuff that you just don’t see every day Jkgalleria has a Lincoln Model k that I really want to review they built a car from the ground up while I was there it’s an absolutely stunning maroon and black car v12

[@carlmontney7916]

@@What.its.like. a Pierce Arrow sounds cool. There's a large vintage/classic/everything auto dealer here in Concord NC called the AutoBarn. They have stuff from all years and motorcycles too. You can Google them and see inventory. I saw one car there that kind of brought a small tear to my eye. It was a 59 Ford galaxie with an H code 352 in it. Original unrestored in really good shape. I owned a bunch of 59 Fords off and on when I was in high school and in fact did have one that was an H code. It was a retired highway patrol car that was sold at an auction and I ended up with it. It was really cool. It still was painted HP black and white and had marks on the side of the doors where the highway patrol decals or logos were scuffed off. That 352 with the four barrel would move that car along pretty good. Still had the dual spotlights in it too which was pretty cool. We ended up finding some red lenses to put in the spotlights. We could cruise around at night and if we saw somebody we knew we would pull up behind them, flashing our headlights and flicking that red spot like back and forth across the back of their vehicle. They would think they were being pulled over and they would pull out to the side of the road giving us the opportunity to nail it and haul ass past them laughing the whole time. Of course! Nowadays you wouldn't want to do something like that but It was 1966. Nobody cared back then.

I have never seen a Hupmobile (although I have heard of them) and this one is a beauty. I'm kind of an old movie buff, and one of the things running through my mind is this car was produced at the time movies were transitioning from silent to sound. So, I can see a young married couple climbing into this car after seeing the silent version of The Broadway Melody, and wondering whether to see the sound version in some movie house recently wired for sound.

Hupp made a major marketing error during the depression that guaranteed their demise offering over 50;different models instead of concentrating on their most popular ones.
