This Hispano-Suiza H6C wears coachwork by Darrin. The Hibbard & Darrin company was formed by two American designers, Thomas Hibbard - a founder of LeBaron - and Howard 'Dutch' Darrin - an entrepreneur from New Jersey. Their body designs were initially built by Van den Plas in Brussels, but construction was later shifted to D'Ieteren Freres. After business became prosperous, Hibbard & Darrin established their own shops in Paris.
This dual-cowl phaeton has a snug-fitting convertible top with an inverted triangle between the front and rear doors.
The car was purchased privately by the late Mr. John O'Quinn from the collection of former Pebble Beach winners Arturo and Deborah Keller. The car has an older restoration that has aged very well. There are minor cracks in the paint and the bright work remains in good condition. The seats are upholstered in cream-colored leather, there are chocolate-brown carpets with cream piping and aluminum instrument panels. There are dual whitewall side-mount spares on chrome wire rims. Powering the vehicle is a 7983cc SOHC six-cylinder engine developing 160 horsepower. There is a three-speed manual transmission and four-wheel servo-assisted mechanical drum brakes.
In 2010, this vehicle was offered for sale at the 'Sports & Classics of Monterey' presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $350,000 - $450,000 and was offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $357,500 inclusive of the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2019
