1926 Hispano-Suiza H6B, rebodied in 1931 by Chapron for the 1932 Paris Auto Show. It is rumored that it was originally owned by the king of Tunisia, although not as yet documented. It was brought into the US in the 1950s by Alec Ulmann, who later sold it to a gentleman from Long Island, NY, Joe Weider, who drove it extensively for 30-40 years. After having a complete body-off restoration, it debuted at Pebble Beach in August 2004, where it was chosen Best In Class out of seven Hispano Suizas. It has also won Best in Class at the Hilton Head Concours in 2005 and was named 'most elegant motor car' at the 2005 Meadow Brooks Concours.

And 1937 K6 Coach Mouette:
This 1937 Hispano Suiza K6 SWB chassis 16069 with Henri Chapron coachwork is the last K6 to be built and among the last three Hispanos to be manufactured in France. It was ordered by and assembled for a famous French test and stunt pilot of the time, Marcel Doret, and he used it as a tow car for his Dewoitine monoplane! The car has unbelievably remained in the same position in the same barn in France where Mr. Heumann discovered it 43 years later in 2006
