We visited the Blackhawk Museum in June, 2013 to drool over their collection of classic autos. This 1924 Hispano-Suiza Model HBC has a torpedo body built by Nieuport, the airplane manufacturer for André Dubonnet, of the aperitif-making family. He wanted an extra-light body suitable for racing or travel, so the frame of the body is covered with strips of thin tulipwood. (051/dsc_0096)
