A special class of rare, exotic, and important Hispano-Suizas is planned to be the classic centerpiece of the 2021 Amelia\u00a0Island Concours d\u2019Elegance<\/a> scheduled for May 23, 2021.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe Hispano-Suiza\u00a0class for the 2021 Amelia Island Concours is an extraordinary group of famous, and in some case practically priceless, cars. Cost was never an object with\u00a0Hispanos\u00a0and it shows<\/em>.\u202fWhile fewer than 300 survive,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0still a grand tale. Many of the players in the Hispano-Suiza\u00a0saga are royalty; there are war heroes, movie stars, all sorts of international celebrities and a few sports heroes. It all helps make Hispano-Suiza\u00a0one of the most legendary, elegant, desirable and exotic cars in history.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\r\nFounder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours\u00a0d\u2019Elegance,\u00a0Bill Warner<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

La\u00a0Fabrica\u00a0de\u00a0Automoviles\u00a0la Hispano-Suiza\u00a0was incorporated in 1904 in Barcelona from the amalgamation of two firms\u00a0that were both suffering financial distress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Swiss engineer, Marc\u00a0Birkigt<\/a>,\u00a0who was only\u00a026-year-old\u00a0at the time, was an executive in both of the companies.\u00a0Birkigt, who had engine and chassis patents, was named factory manager of the new firm named Hispano-Suiza\u00a0(Spanish-Swiss).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Birkigt\u00a0would drive from the Hispano works in Paris to the Barcelona factory. The drive achieved two things:\u00a0he enjoyed the commute in his car,\u00a0and it provided a\u00a0real-world test session\u00a0for the cars.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The long drives allow him to confirm or negate his assumptions and prejudices giving him the experience firsthand of the quality of his creations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Achieving Hispano quality was a high target indeed. He rewrote the rules for premium car engineering when he\u00a0added four-wheel servo-assisted brakes on the H6.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a>
\r\n
1911 Hispano-Suiza 45CR (15-45CV) Type \u201cAlfonso XIII\u201d Voiturette<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Although the Hispano-Suiza\u00a0is known to be \u201cthe queen of the road\u201d, it\u00a0was actually a car for a King.\u00a0King Alfonso XIII of Spain owned as many as 30 units. In 1909, the factory was granted permission to name the T15, the \u201cAlfonso XIII.\u201d In 1911, Queen Victoria Eugenia, his consort, gave him a white T15 that had gold-plated fittings and golden wire wheels as a birthday gift.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Hispano-Suiza\u00a0racing team had three cars enter the Coupe de l\u2019Auto race in 1910 where they finished with an impressive first, third, and sixth\u00a0places.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 1911, equipped with the 3620 cc four-cylinder,\u00a0the new race-centered T30 had the capability of going 80mph making the Alfonso XIIIi one of the initial real sports cars.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Birkigt\u00a0returned to Barcelona when World War I\u00a0commenced. There, he\u00a0created a water-cooled V-8 aircraft engine that became the soul and spirit of the marque.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 1916, the new, simple, and brilliant aluminum block Hispano-Suiza\u00a0V-8\u00a0he designed was exactly what France\u2019s war ministry needed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

His powerful \u201cmonoblock\u201d Y12 engine, an\u00a011.76-liter, water-cooled SOHC V-8 was used for the French S.P.A.D. VII <\/a>which was the pillar of the French fighter squadrons\u00a0and helped them claim air superiority against the Central Powers. France awarded\u00a0Birkigt\u00a0the Legion of Honor in appreciation for his creation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a>

A famous French Aviation Unit during World War 1 was the Escadrille<\/em> 3\u00a0Les Cigognes<\/em>\u00a0(‘The Storks’). Pilots from\u00a0Groupe de Combat 12\u00a0assumed the name and put pictures of storks in various stages of flying on their aircraft.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The insignia found its way into the Hispano-Suiza\u00a0machines. The initial car to sport the La\u00a0Cicogne\u00a0Volant mascot (designed by Sculptor Francois\u00a0Bazin) was the six-cylinder 6.6-liter OHC H6. The car shared its engineering DNA with the WWI aircraft and it was also given the powerful servo-assisted four-wheel brakes designed by\u00a0Birkigt.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a>

1921 marked the return of the H6 Hispano to the winner\u2019s lists. Andre Dubonnet, a former fighter pilot, and Duesenberg Grand Prix racer (also an Escadrille No. 3 veteran), drove an H6 at the\u00a0Boillot\u00a0Cup of the Boulogne race, claiming victory. They were also able to claim a win at the Autumn Cup at Monza using a bored-out 6.9-liter H6 that could run more than 107mph.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a>

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The huge J12 was Birkigt\u2019s\u00a0final automotive masterpiece.\u00a0Created in 1931, being the same year as France was struck with the Depression and Alfonso XIII was exiled, it defied the reality of the Depression.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The J12<\/a> was an elegant,\u00a0new 9.425-liter\u00a060-degree V-12\u00a0 and was capable of producing 190 hp. It\u00a0was so beautifully presented that a proud J12 owner requested his\u00a0carrossier\u00a0to install glass tops in the hood to display the beauty of the V-12 for all to see. By 1934, it became an 11.3-liter V-12 engine that could produce 250 hp.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Despite the \u201cAlfonso XIII\u201d giving Hispano its sporting spirit and the stork becoming its immortal mascot, it would be one of the final Hispanos that sealed the grand marque\u2019s iconic status.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The 1938 Xenia Hispano-Suiza\u00a0Dubonnet equipped with an H6B 6.5-liter straight-six is considered by many to be the most glamourous Hispano-Suiza.\u00a0It displayed an exquisite Jean Andreu-designed coachwork that was produced by Carrosserie<\/em> Saoutchik.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a>
\r\n
1937 Hispano-Suiza H6C Dubonnet Xenia<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Andre Dubonnet<\/a> named the Xenia after his late wife Xenia Johnson who passed in 1936. His current wife, not fond of the name or the memory it evoked,\u00a0exiled the futuristic coupe.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Xenia was hidden during\u00a0World War II, only to make an appearance again a year after VE Day as it led a parade that opened the new St. Cloud tunnel near Paris.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It had its first restoration in the sixties, and in 2001,\u00a0it won Best of Show in the 16th annual Amelia Island Concours\u00a0d\u2019Elegance.\u00a0In the summer of the same year, it won Meadowbrook\u2019s Engineering Excellence Award.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Despite Hispano-Suiza\u00a0developing its lustrous character from World War I, the harsh realities of post World War II saw the end of the dignified marque.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On August 15, 1947, even after all the flair during the debut of the new Hispano-Suiza\u00a0V-8 engine at the 1946 Geneva\u00a0Motor Show, Autocar published in English an announcement stating:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

\u00a0\u201cThe famous Hispano-Suiza\u00a0works in Barcelona, Spain have become semi-national and will be known as Empress National de Automobiles.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Birkigt\u00a0moved on to using his talents\u00a0to create\u00a0artillery, railway engines, and the landing gear for an early French jetliner.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On March 17, 1953, The Times printed a report announcing\u00a0that the\u00a075-year-old\u00a0engineer and auto executive Marc\u00a0Birkigt\u00a0who was\u00a0\u201cdecorated for his achievements and\u00a0contributions\u00a0in both World Wars\u201d<\/em>\u00a0passed on March 15 in his lakeside home in\u00a0Versoix.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
