02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
The H6 was the first postwar model of the marque and was shown at the 1919 Paris show. Birkigt carried much of his aero-engine experience into its powerplant, including the overhead camshaft.
Most cars were built to order and fitted with bodies from leading coachbuilders, which placed the H6 against Isotta-Fraschini, Maybach and Rolls-Royce.
