1924 Hispano-Suiza Model H6C Tulipwood Torpedo | 1924 Hispano-Suiza Model H6C Tulipwood Torpedo 1924 Hispano-Suiza Model H6C Tulipwood Torpedo In 1924 the "Tulipwood" Torpedo was commissioned by Andre Dubonnet who, at the age of 26, was an accomplished aviator and racecar driver. The Dubonnet family had amassed a fortune from the aperitifs and cognacs that continue to bear the family name. Dunonnet contracted the Nieuport Aviation Company to build a lightweight body suitable for both racing and touring. Nieuport craftsmen formed a frame of wooden ribs measuring up to 3/4-inch thick which were cobered with 1/8-inch wooden veneer. Strips of tulipwood of uneven thickness and length were fastened to the veneer with thousands of brass rivets. The body was sealed, sanded and varnished; when fully equipped, the body weighs approximately 160 pounds. The torpedo tail enclosed a 46-gallon gas tank for long distance racing. In 1924 Dubonnet entered the Hispano-Suiza in the Sicilian Targa Florio and he finished 6th; he also finished 5th in the Coppa Florio and 1st in the over 4.5 liter class. Engine: 6-cylinder, SOHC, 487 cid, 200 hp @ 3050 rpm. Price when new: $15,000 plus Manufacturer: Ste. Francaise Hispano-Suiza, Bois-Colombes, France Blackhawk Auto Museum in Danville, California.
