1936 Hispano Suiza K6
Founded in 1904 in Barcelona by entrepreneurs Mateu and Seix, together with Swiss engineer Marcos Birkigt, the legendary Hispano Suiza brand came to dispute the reign of the British Rolls-Royce in its golden age. In 1911, economic and political reasons led it to build a branch factory near Paris, as well as a new factory in Guadalajara, where vehicles were built under the Hispano trademark. During the war, production was directed towards aircraft engines with great success. It was precisely in honour of the “Stork Squadron” – powered by Hispano-Suiza engines – that the figure of a stork was adopted as the company’s logo
The K6 saloon exhibited in the museum since 2001 is one of the latest series produced. It is distinguishable by its square Jaeger instrument panel, and owes its slender and stylised forms to the prestigious Parisian manufacturer Van Vooren. It was the last car developed by Marc Birkigt, of which 200 units were sold, one of its lucky owners being General De Gaulle
