:: During the 34 years between 1905 and 1939 , there was considerable development in every element of both interior and exterior car design. Engines were initially slow-revving, having single or twin-cylinders. These only developed a limited horse-power, which is why the more prestigious cars came to have a very high cylinder capacity. The 1915 Packard introduced the fashion for very powerful cars. The ?Twin Six? had twelve cylinders, and was the first American model to have aluminum pistons.

:: Another major innovation brought about by Ford was the chain-production line. He realized that it would be much simpler, more practical, and quicker if , when assembling the vehicle, the workers could draw the various components from suitable containers placed beside the production line, rather than going to the various storerooms for them, which meant they had constantly to by moving from place to place. In this way he managed to reduce the assembly time from 12 hours to an hour and a half.

:: The H6, the first car developed and produced in France and until 1930 the only model built there, is considered to be one of Hispano-Suiza?s most successful cars. At the same time it was also built in Spain, though in small numbers intended mainly for the domestic market and fitted with a 3700 cc engine. Its technical details (the engine developed 135 bhp at 2,750 rpm), its performance (a maximum speed of around 95 mph) and the ease with which it could be driven made the H6 a much admired and sought after model.

:: 1911classic.com> Classic Car in France. Louis Renault will be remembered not only for the great cars he produced but also for his patent on the direct-transmission gearbox. He also opened his factory to the Germans in the Second World War, possibly in an effort to save the plant. This resulted, however, in his imprisonment in 1944 and the confiscation of the factory by the government. These two events proved too great a blow for Louis Renault who died the same year.
