Using bodies from bankrupt Cord, Hupmobile and Graham made a small number of these cars trying to forestall their own demises, unsuccessfully. I could not find any pictures to confirm this as a 1940, but only a mention of 1939 Hupmobile Junior Six with this particular hood and headlights.
The “Junior Six” employing the Cord hood is certainly an oddity and a discovery at the same time. Saw this car in person and it had greater potential than what the advancing patina would tend to suggest. Rod or restore; importantly, someone SAVE IT.
