The HESS Group, through three generations of leadership that have shaped its 70-year history, has developed a deep passion for automobiles. This passion stems both from the emotion evoked by its design—which has always been ahead of its time and still allows us today to experience the “spirit of the times” of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s through its iconic models—and from the technological feats that have defined the history of the automobile in the 20th century.
The automobile lies at the heart of the 20th-century lifestyle revolution and has transformed individuals’ relationship with space. It was the great purveyor of individual freedom in the past century, but also the great purveyor of intense pleasures: the convergence of speed with aesthetics, of freedom with sensation.
While the HESS Group is resolutely focused on the future and supports the leading French and global manufacturers in bringing the most innovative technologies to market—in the era of the connected car and on the cusp of the autonomous vehicle—what a pleasure it is to look back, to collect and carefully preserve the treasures that have served as successive symbols of the automotive dream and, more broadly, of Progress.
