1938 Hispano-Suiza H6B Dubonnet Xenia: The French Spaceship with Pantograph Doors

1938 Hispano-Suiza: $20M Streamliner That Shocked Paris 💸 was no ordinary car — it was a spaceship on wheels, born from grief, genius, and a thirst for innovation. With 160 horsepower under its aerodynamic skin, the Dubonnet Xenia wasn’t just fast for its time — it was decades ahead of it. Designed in a wind tunnel, featuring pantograph doors and gullwing Plexiglas windows, this 2-ton masterpiece didn’t roll... it glided like a cat doing ballet. Discover how André Dubonnet — fighter pilot, playboy, and suspension visionary — created a moving tribute to his wife that’s now valued at up to $20 million. From secret wartime hideouts to Pebble Beach royalty, the Xenia's story is as breathtaking as its curves. 👉 Like 👍, subscribe 🔔, and share if you'd trade your neighbor's RV for a seat in this chrome bullet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Petersen Automotive Museum: https://www.petersen.org/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #ClassicCars, #AutomotiveHistory, #CarRestoration, #VintageCars, #MuseumCars, #HispanoSuizaXenia, #DubonnetXenia, #Xenia1938, #StreamlineDesign, #PreWarLuxury
