The Hupmobile was built twice in Canada--once before the First World War and again during the high-tariff Depression years,.

The first Canadian assembly by the Hupp Motor Car Corp. began in Windsor, Ontario, in late spring of 1911. The company moved first into the Medbury Power building but outgrew this location almost immediately and built a new plant on Giles Boulevard at McDougall in its first year of operation.

The regular American Hupmobile, a low-slung angular vehicle with high-perched headlights, was built as a runabout for $850 or a touring for $1000. Top, windshield, doors and even acetylene lamps were extra, though the following year they were all included for the same list prices.

Production resumed in 1933. For the 1933 model year, both sixes and eights were assembled. The Aero models with three piece windshields were introduced for 1935, but the Depression forced a halt to all production in 1936. Other models were introduced later in the United States, culminating with the 1940 Skylark, but none of these was built in Windsor and the 1941 was not even sold in Canada.
