A Masterpiece by Van Vooren

Van Vooren, the prestigious Parisian coachbuilder, was renowned for crafting bodies for some of the world’s most luxurious automobiles, including Hispano-Suiza, Bugatti, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley. The company played a significant role in shaping the Hispano-Suiza brand, providing bodies for over one-third of their HS26 Junior, K6, and J12 models.

This Hispano-Suiza K6 chassis 16066 was a special commission, ordered on November 30, 1936, and delivered to Van Vooren on May 12, 1937, to create an extraordinary pillarless four-door coupe. The aim was to blend the sporty aesthetics of a coupe with the practicality of four doors, resulting in an elegant and distinctive vehicle.
