Car names that start with the letter "H"

[Wayne Jones]

need some help here to settle a bet...after a brief argument with my
brother, i need some quick help with car names starting with a "H" along the
likes of Holden, Hyundai and Honda.

old or new, doesn't matter, but it must be a make, not a model!

can anyone out there think of any others?

[Cameron Bell]

Hillman
Hino
Humber
HSV (if you class that as separate from Holden)

Pre-war US, think they MAY have lasted into the 30's. You must have
heard of such a great auto name - what about an Elie(sp)?

Manufactured by Hupp Motor Corp., Detroit, Mich.

Considered as classy limos in their day, they were one of the most
expensive American cars sold in here during the twenties. Numerous
models were imported from 1923 onwards, last ones being the 1938 822E
Six and the 825H Eight (straight eight of course).

Lasted somewhat longer than...
H.A.L.
Halladay

Hercules

Houpt Rockwell...

None of whom saw in 1930.

What about the Hillman Hunter - both make and model start with a 'H'

Personally speaking, Honda is pretty good as it's
reputed to be hardy and it's parts usually last
longer than all the other makes (provided you look
after the car and send it for maintenance). The
downside to Honda is that its replacement parts
are 20~30% more expensive comparatively to the rest.
Apart from the above, it's a good make.

These is just my views. :)

Whooops,..the Humber. These things were so bland, you could get a 6 cyl '72 model for three parts of fuck-all. Mind you they looked like a cross between an Austin Sheerline and a Trabant :-)

In Australia, it was the Lloyd-Hartnett and they were built (assembled?)
in Australia. A friend had one in the very late 60s, possibly early 70s.
It was a 2 cylinder horizontally opposed front wheel drive unit. He had
the Lloyd Alexander, a little two door sedan. He worked at a wrecking
yard at the time so I presume this was one that came into the yard. It
needed a distributor cap to get it going and he used one from a Holden
(Bosch). It fitted, he just didn't need to use the 4 extra leads! ;-)
He drove that around for quite a while and I remember going for a spin
with him once. It was quite an advanced little beast for it's era.

I used to have a Ford with a too low exhaust pipe, and a driveway entry
with a high spot. The next door neighbour was an old bloke who actually
married the girl next door, and ended up moving in - in the 1930s. He
was standing outside my front fence, watching me slowly and audibly
scrape my car's exhaust pipe as I passed over the hump. He said, "My
dad's Hupmobile used to do that too".

Interesting notion,..should work.

Another obscure car was the West-German "Borgward Isabella". A family friend had one, and his was 1600cc with 75hp, which for the time [circa 1963] was quite respectable. Power to weight was 75hp:1.0Tonne,[by comparison, a grey-motor Holden was 70hp to 1.1T] but like so many obscure vehicles, it didnt sell well out here, and faded into oblivion.

Good power to weight, or in some other respects?

Jason

[Jason James]

Before someone else mentions it,..Borgward's Goliath is another model sold out here that went,...well, nowhere..::-)

Jason

[Xeno]

Power wise it wasn't great. 600cc or something, can't expect much. It
was a front wheel drive in an era before it became popular. Also, most
cars that size used rear engine, rear wheel drive which I despised with
a passion. It was a good little city runabout.

The original Hartnett was born in 1951 and looked vastly different to
the later Lloyd Alexander. It was still FWD - in that era. That one was
assembled in Frankston, Victoria and the project was screwed by
Commonwealth Engineering and only about 125 were made.

The later Lloyd Alexander was assembled in Brisbane between 57 and 62.
There were some 3,000 made.

Hartnett, after Borgward went bellyup and could no longer supply him
with Alexander components, commenced importing the Datsun 310 and later
had an agreement with Nissan to assemble the Bluebird in Sydney.
Hartnett was a visionary who had a huge influence on the Australian car
industry. No doubt he would be turning in his grave if he could see that
industry in its death throes.

A German mate had 3 Borgward Isabellas in his backyard at St Albans, Vic
back in the 80s. He sold one about 15 years ago, having long lost
interest. A short time later he sold the remaining 2, was paid for them
but the buyer never picked them up. A few years back he sold them again
and this time the buyer did pick them up along with all the spares.

Fans of rare English sports cars will know of HRG. They were Le Mans
