The Hispano-Suiza H6C offered here features coachwork by Hibbard & Darrin, the noted Paris coachworks established in 1924 by American expatriate designers Howard “Dutch” Darrin and Thomas Hibbard. Hibbard & Darrin’s most famous product was a four-door convertible dubbed the Transformable Torpedo, the hallmarks of which were a snug-fitting convertible top, which dropped in a “tent flap” to fill the space between the trapezoidal side windows, and a wide beltline molding also seen in other Hibbard & Darrin creations. This body design was utilized on numerous chassis, including the Rolls-Royce of actress Marlene Dietrich, and this particular Hispano-Suiza.
