The 1924 Hispano-Suiza H6C Nieuport-Astra Torpedo won Best of Show at the Pepble Beach Concours d'Elegance, owned by Penny and Lee Anderson Sr. This classic car was recognized among competition from three other notable vehicles. Its advanced underpinnings and meticulously hand-crafted body contribute to its uniqueness. Originally commissioned by André Dubonnet, the car has been restored to its original form after earlier modifications. This is the Andersons' second Best of Show win, with a previous victory recorded in 2022. Hispano-Suiza has previously won this award in 1972 and 1989.
The 1924 Hispano-Suiza H6C Nieuport-Astra Torpedo, owned by Penny and Lee Anderson Sr., was named Best of Show at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
The body of the Hispano-Suiza weighed 160 pounds when it debuted, and it was commissioned by André Dubonnet, who raced it in both the Targa Florio and the Coppa Florio.
The Andersons returned the car to its original form to appreciate its torpedo shape, after a previous owner made modifications with pontoon fenders.
This marks the third time a Hispano-Suiza vehicle has won Best of Show at Pebble Beach, with previous wins occurring in 1972 and 1989.
