Classic-Hupmobile - Firing order

Did the Hupmobile have a reversed engine firing number system, that is, did they number the straight eight from the back cylinders or the front, drivers view? Or did they have a reversed engine direction? (not likely) It is a 2-4-2 crankshaft as this fits the firing order in reverse. It seems that the crankshaft is not a 4-4 crankshaft. M.L. Anderson

A Hupmobile becomes a little more than just a car. He'll lift the hood as a veteran would, and show Hupp's mechanical fineness. He knows! He's driven Hupmobile since the old outdated out-of-context but still-revered early Hupmobiles with the tall steel spout on its radiator. There's something about Hupp's faithfulness that gets to a man. A feeling that hasn't a name. But it's the same as the feeling a seaman gets for his ship, an engineer for his engine, or a woman for her home.
