Abadal
The Francisco Abadal-inspired Abadal was a Spanish automobile built between 1912 and 1923. It was regarded as a quick luxury automobile, came in two variants, and closely resembled the Hispano-Suiza. While the other featured a 4521 cc six-cylinder engine, the first had a 3104 cc four-cylinder engine.

Impéria, a Belgian business, started manufacturing Abadals under license as Impéria-Abadals not long after the Abadal line was first introduced. Abadal bought the Buick agency in 1916, therefore cars made in Barcelona after that year used Buick engines and had unique coachwork. They were referred to as "Abadal-Buicks." Soon after, M. A. Van Roggen (previously of Springuel) took over the Belgian business and constructed around 170 more Impéria-Abadals.
A 2992cc 16-valve four-cylinder OHC sporting model and three prototype 5630 cc straight-eights were among the models made. The firm stopped making cars in 1923.
Francisco Abadal, also known as Paco, worked as a salesperson for Hispano-Suiza and competed in racing in Barcelona. He started this business in 1912, and after it failed, he joined General Motors as an agent there. Plans by General Motors to build a prototype called the Abadal Continental were abandoned in 1930.
