 <\/p>\n

Well-maintained in climate-controlled collection since 2010. Leather and top in great condition. Roadster Chassis :686. The R.C.H. Company was introduced in August of 1911.<\/p>\n

They produced small vehicles that were powered by a four-cylinder, 22 hp engine and were priced at under 1,000.<\/p>\n

Production would continue until 1915. The acronym R.C.H. represented Robert C. Hupp officially had no connection with the Hupp Motor Car Company.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"1911<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This was because Robert Hupp had left the Hupp Motor Company due to a disagreement with the board of directors, and was court ordered not to build vehicles with his name.<\/p>\n

The Hupp Motor Company feared that a lesser-priced vehicle with a similar name to theirs, would damage the reputation of their company.During the first year of production, seven thousand R.C.H vehicles were sold.<\/p>\n

Over 15,000 examples were sold the following year. The business had expanded so quickly, that it was difficult to cope with the success.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"1911<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In January of 1913, Hupp gave J.F. Hartz presidency of the company, while Hupp took the vice-president position.<\/p>\n

Even with strong sales, the company fell into receivership on July 25th of 1913. Innbsp;an attempt to meet the demand, quality suffered. After just a few short years, the decision was made to cease production of vehicles. BEING SOLD WITH TITLE<\/p>\n
