When the Great War ended, La Hispano-Suiza was in a very good financial situation, because of the war commands of the aero engine.
Marc Birkigt, not far from the aero engineering, created by this time his great work: The Hispano-Suiza H6, an imposing car, of graceful and simply lines, and with great advances, like the alu engine, or the servo-assistance brakes in the four wheels. The engine, of Six cylinders, had 6597 c.c and 135 hp.
The presentation was at the 1919 Paris auto Salon, and under the Barcelona "observation", the fabrication started at Bois-Colombes, and not in Barcelona, where the prototypes had been developed.

This is the first H-6 produced (not prototype), which was sold to Spanish King Alphonse XIII (as many other hispanos).



The first H-6s produced had a very high wheels, which will be changed in the near years of production.
Was in this early post-war years, with the creation of the H-6 (the most advanced car of the world in that moment), when La Hispano-Suiza started to use his famous symbol, "la cigogne", bacause of the war triumphs in the air battles during the war.
