Which luxury car is pictured?

The Hispano-Suiza H6 is a luxury car that was produced by Hispano-Suiza, in the period 1919–1933, mostly in France. For such a large luxury car, the new model – designed by the brilliant Swiss engineer Marc Birkigt – not only looked imposing but also bristled with innovative features. The firm’s aero experience was clearly evident in this vintage exotic. Under the long bonnet, the all-alloy 6.6-litre straight-six, finished in signature gloss-black paint, was in effect one bank of Hispano’s magnificent V12 aero engine, with its overhead camshaft driven by a vertical shaft following aviation practice.

When most makers were still boasting of having four-wheel brakes, Hispano was far ahead of the game with its servo assistance integrated with the gearbox. They were light-alloy drums on all four wheels with power-assist, the first in the industry, driven with a special shaft from the transmission. Its chassis was the first to be produced outside of Spain at the new Hispano Suiza factory in France and were fitted with some of the finest French bodies and interiors.
