The first Hupmobile, the Model 20 Runabout, was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show in February of 1909 with much fanfare and went into production a month later. This economical automobile was offered to the public at $750.00 F.O.B. and was considered a bargain with its two-speed sliding gear transmission and Bosch high tension magneto ignition system often reserved for pricier model cars. A folding top, trunk rack, glass windshield, and gas headlamps were premium extras. 5,340 Model 20 Runabouts were manufactured in 1910 and they continued to be produced through 1913.
