1922 Hispano Suiza H6B Dual Cowl Phaeton

Hispano Suiza delivered the H6B as a rolling chassis for coachbuilders to clothe. To match the car's remarkable engineering, only the finest coachbuilders were commissioned to design and fit bodies on the H6 chassis. The Brunn coachwork Company of Buffalo New York was responsible for this Dual Cowl Phaeton design. Hermann Brunn had enjoyed an apprenticeship at the Kellner coachworks in Paris and had then returned with his new skills to his father's firm. This car was once the property of Edsel Ford for whom Brunn worked after World War II. Production of the H6B ended in 1932. Today the H6 is still one of the most highly respected models of the vintage and classic eras.

The Hispano-Suiza was the most expensive automobile in Europe - thousands more than a Rolls-Royce. The H6 series, introduced at the Paris Automobile Salon in 1919, was generally acknowledged as the most advanced automobile design in the world. The company sold the chassis only; the coachwork was up to the buyer.

The overhead cam, six-cylinder engine was derived from the Mark Birkigt-designed aircraft engine, used by more than half of the airplanes flown during World War I.

The name Hispano-Suiza recognized the birthplace of the car and the country of its creator, Mark Birkigt - Spain and Switzerland, respectively.
