According to Snopes, it is not any one type but a composite of many types of cars. It was minted in 1928, and a few years later people spread the rumor that it car’s occupants were Bonnie and Clyde, but they didn’t even meet until two years after the minting.

Funny. I’m sure that a lot of different makes are “HUMPmobiles”.

Yeah, I heard that it was a composite as well, a composite of what, I have no clue.

Funny. I’m sure that a lot of different makes are “HUMPmobiles”.I had a Chevy Vega that turned out to one.
Then there was this 1980 Toyota hatchback owned by a girl named Mary that turned out to be one, too.

More interesting than what kind of car it is is the street scene itself. DC was a small town then.

Wouldn't your garden-variety Ford Model A be the more likely candidate?

Yeah...you seem correct. Bur, I imagine Treasury could not be seen as supporting one make over another.

Hey...you could win a bar bet in this one. Some loudmouth guy INSISTING that it’s a Hupmobile and you go to the web and show him it’s a composite. Free drink for you!

In college I dated a girl who was an heiress to the vast Hupmobile fortune.

I saw a sign once that said “Speed Hump”.
So I did.
To: Oberon
Could be any car from that era, I suppose.
