Hispano-Suiza was one of Spain’s most respected car manufacturers during its 64-year existence from 1904 to 1968. The name “Hispano-Suiza” translates literally as “Spanish-Swiss”. This refers to the fact that one of the key figures in the origins of the company was Marc Birkigt, a Swiss engineer who was invited to work in Spain by the entrepreneur Emilio de la Cuadra.
