Production
Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
The Xenia was built for André Dubonnet on a Hispano-Suiza H6C chassis to show off his independent suspension system, which used enclosed coil springs.
Jacques Saoutchik built the body, a teardrop design with parallel-sliding doors and an aviation-themed interior. The car is dated 1938.
