    Hupmobile-History

    Founder: Robert Craig Hupp 1876-1931 After working at the Oldsmobile, Ford and Regal factories, Hupp founded the Hupp Motor Car Company in Detroit in 1908 with J. Walter Drake, a former lawyer, in the position of company President. His first car, the Model 20, which he named 'Hupmobile' was a two-seater runabout powered by a 2.8 litre four cylinder engine with high tension magneto and a two-speed sliding gear transmission. It was shown at the Detroit Auto Show in February 1909 and was sold as a competitor to the Model T Ford. Designed by Hupp and E. A. Nelson, it sold well and between March and December 1909 a total of 1618 cars had been delivered. In May 1910, Robert Hupp formed and became President of the Hupp Corporation, which included the Hupp-Yeats Electric Car Company, the Hupp-Turner Machine Co. and the Hupp-Johnson Forge Co. Charles D. Hastings was appointed vice-president and his brother Louis Hupp was made secretary/treasurer. During 1910 and 1911, a further 11,419 cars were built by the Hupp Motor Car Co. and a larger four seater car was introduced in 1911. But Robert Hupp had disagreements with his partners in the Hupp Motor Car Co. because he paid too much attention to the Hupp Corporation and in September 1911, he sold his shares and left the company to found the RCH Company. There, he produced a car very similar to the Hupmobile 20 that would be in production until 1916. At the Hupp Motor Car Co, Drake and Hupp's former right-hand man, Charles D.

Council Work Session Memorandum TO: City Council FROM: Tim Murray, City Administrator MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: South Central Minnesota Passenger Rail Initiative Discussion: A bill was introduced by Rep. Todd Lippert of Northfield this legislative session (HF 1393) that is requesting $500,000 in funding to prepare a feasibility study and alternatives analysis of a passenger rail corridor connecting Minneapolis and St. Paul to Albert Lea on existing rail line and passing through Faribault and Northfield. Northfield City Councilmember Suzie Nakasian recently reached out to Mayor Voracek regarding this initiative, and Northfield City Administrator Ben Martig has provided the materials they prepared in support of the bill. They are requesting that the Faribault City Council consider adopting a resolution to be submitted in support of the bill. A similar rail proposal was discussed in 2015, but was never funded so a feasibility study was never completed. Support for that proposal included the City of Faribault as well as 40+/- other stakeholders.
