Yeah yeah, it's SZ, no surprise there. I especially like the two-tone grey town car and that blue/purple convertible in the extra pics. As usual for these super old ones, if anyone knows the weight or torque please let me know, I threw this together real quick between classes and didn't have time to scour the internet too much.
 
I found in Wikipedia that this car weighs 1583 kg, but I can't confirm that this is 100% accurate, just because of the lots of coachbuilds.
Also, while searching for info I found some cool features of this car:

Anyway, SZ. I specially like the cabriolet Saoutchik, Brandone, Chapron and the coupe Vanvooren.

I never heard of Hispano-Suiza until I was watching the Barrett-Jackson Auctions on Speed Channel once. It's the only Spanish car company I know of [and remember] besides SEAT and Sunred. This is a classy car easily getting a Sub-Zero from me.
 
One of the podcasts I listen to has a habit of trying to get the marque's name into as many episodes as they can. They managed 7 or 8 in succession, which was pretty remarkable.

interesting that all the cars in the photos are right-hand drive. Did Spain switch sides at some point? Automotively-speaking, that is!

The convertible almost looks like a vehicular mullet: all serious up front and swoopy at the back! Still sub-zero though.
