Hispano-Suiza, la reine de la route !

This chauffeur has some good reasons to be proud of his Hispano-Suiza type H6b, there is no better car on the market and this 1927 model has a very elegant body.
The most exclusive French cars from the 20's, was built in Bois-Colombes from 1919 to the mid 30's for the very last H6.
Among a total production of 2440 H6 chassis, 349 were equipped with the largest engine of a 8 l. capacity (the H6c, taxed 46CV), 29 others with the Boulogne motor and the rest were 32 CV with the regular 6.6 l. motor.
The H6 was le chef d'oeuvre from Marc Birkigt and was indeed la reine de la route, the queen of the road, as it was known !
