It is so wonderful to see these cars in motion, as they were meant to be.

I just came from the museum in Reno Nevada today and seen the 1937 Hispano-Suiza one of the best looking cars I’ve seen

the 8 was one of the best engines of WWI. So many were built that they were using them in the late 1920s for production aircraft. Excellent and highly unknown engine.....All aluminum and OHC. Vey high Tech. Often found in the JN-4 and the SPAAD.

OHC is pretty gnarly for it's time..way advanced

Cuando los coches de 1920 tenian de 20 a 50 cv de potencia a 2 000 RPM, llegó al salón de Paris un Hispano - Suiza en 1920 con una configuración de Motor muy avanzada a su época, bloke y culatas desmontables de aluminio, 6 cilindros, 4 válvulas por cilindro, 2 bujías por cilindro, 5.500 RPM, admisión y escape separadas, árbol de levas en cabeza, con la DESORBITADOS 160 cv de potencia para la época, esta es la configuración de motor que llevan las motos hoy en día, los demás motores se sometian a pruebas de 10 horas y aguantaban 7h, 8h, 10h o 12h,..al Hispano - Suiza 1920 le exigieron 50 h y las superó sin problemas.

This was great! I love these interviews with owners also

Made fighter plane engines!! Then used to make badass frame cars of the twenties

The "8" was an excellent, excellent powerplant. We have two in our airplanes at the Eagles Mere Air and Auto Museum

my grandfather - engineer Antoni Sufin-Suliga worked in this factory

Wonderful cars, and the people who own them live in such a nice environment...the landscape the cars drive in in as nice as the cars themselves...

"I just came from the museum in Reno Nevada today and SAW the 1937..."

There's a beautiful example in the V & A at this very moment.

This Spanish company is back

Um dos melhores carros deviam ser editado outra vez.oh

To the detriment of the consumer the car companies no longer manufacture beauty.

You have interesting videos but all lacks showing the engine and details of mechanics in general.

@@ph390 The name says it all: "Hispano-Suiza". The origins of the automobile manufacturer are swiss (Birkigt) and spanish (Mateu), which established the company in La Sagrera, Barcelona, Spain. Hispano-Suiza did eventually expand their business and created a factory in France, in Bois-Colombes. That french factory later became a spun-off subsidiary because of the increasing tax pressure from the french government to the main equity partner. That french company still exists nowadays (Safran), and uses the brand Hispano Suiza brand for their power transmission business Other than that, as stated, it's incredible that nowadays this brand is still so loved and respected in it's home country, even if no cars have been produced neither in any of their factories since 1945 and were sold mostly abroad. As Juan Morales said: Hispano-Suiza was and still is spanish.

That example she is driving here is from 1912? It seems quite modern for that year. Looks like it could be a 30's era sports car. Both in terms of looks and performance. I guess in my mind i compare everything to Model T's and in doing so i can't help making a mental comparison to a 25 or so T. In doing so it just seems so advanced. It doesn't put or chug like a T but rather look like it would get down the road at a fine clip.

Gregory Timmons ....I guarantee that a Ford Model T would run circles around her car back in the day, more easily repaired, replacement parts much more readily available, cheaper to buy and maintain, etc etc....I'd much rather own that Model T, at least it was made in America....

@@branon6565 The Hispano Suiza Alphonse is much higher performing than the Ford Model T. And see above comments surprised it's from 1912, seems rather to be from the later 1920's, even 30's. That's due to the top quality HSs were engineered and built. They are cruising machines. Famously, the crankshafts were machined from a single billet of steel! The T's were about affordable mass produced efficiency. My ancestors, as yours, owned and drove T's. If they ever heard of HS it was only in a book or mag.
