Help! Somebody Tell Me Why I Don’t Want This Car!

So I might need an intervention here. This Hupmobile 20 runabout has become available and I’m seriously tempted. Just not sure if I’m ready to take the brass car plunge yet.

1962 Henney Kilowatt Electric Car

From 1959 to 1961, a US coachbuilder teamed up with a battery company and a tech dude named Victor Wouk. Instead of building a car from scratch, they bought 100 engine-less Dauphine bodies from Renault and stuffed them full of heavy lead-acid batteries.

The early versions were slow and could barely touch 40 mph but  upgraded the next batch to a 72-volt system that could do 60 mph and cover with around 60 miles of range.   Not exactly a Model S.

Missed Hershey this year but it's been a productive week!

So between Grandma Bear duties and an aging dog we didn't think would enjoy the trip we scratched Hershey 26.  Hope those who could go had a blast.

I had Wed - today to myself and each car got a day.  Oil change & lube on the Packard and sorted some odds and ends.  Mounting 5 new tires for the A consumed most of yesterday and cleaning up the SL today - we are representing the R-107 series MB SL at an event in town next weekend featuring MB and I don't want to be totally embarrassed...

What small projects are you working on?

I can’t believe this car still runs.

One of my customers brought their car in because they hit a deer while n vacation. They drove it back, probably a good five hours on the highway. I had to get the hood open with a pry bar and this is what I found. I think we should probably be worshipping this car because it’s an honest miracle. It still had coolant in it even though the radiator was bent and the serpentine belt was riding on the upper hose. Fans shrouds were all busted up but the fans still worked. Transmission cooler bent. AC condenser bent but it still blows cold. Only one fault code for a broken adaptive headlamp. Stephen King could dream up a machine so hard to kill.
