This is the story of the first flyers of these lands, the presentation of the book history of the car in Bizkaia. From BI-1 to BI-1600000, a work in which José Andrés Etxebarria He has immersed himself in those first days in which soon, very soon, the car became key in economic and social development, and a central element in our daily lives. This book travels graphically and commented on the close relationship between the car and the people in Bizkaia. Yesterday he saw the light in Bilbain society, where Fevebask vice president, Kepa Elejostewho took the reins of the ceremony in Bilbaine society. He was the one who remembered books of the book by remembering that more than two thousand photographs of cars, motorcycles and trucks that crossed Basque roads from 1902 to 1967, photos taken from tales of family albums with the smell of the lives of many families in different situations with great human heat.
“It should be noted that the uniqueness of our enrollment in Bilbao since as shown it should be noted that among the first 1,000 vehicles the second best -selling brand were the Swiss Hispanic,” said Kepa, who added that this brand. He had the Provincial Council Bizkaia and the City of Bilbao also as owners, in 1913 and 1918 respectively.
During the talk it was reviewed that there was a Bilbao with authentic automobile passion, José Ramón Aburto Martínez de las RivaS, who with a Fiat of 1913 with 150 horses that ran in Indianapolis. Before he had, in 1912, another of 120 HP. He was, as they come, a motor lover. Your biznieto, Fernando Aburtowas present yesterday in the greeting to this book José Andrés himself, invoked for the case, highlighted the image of the first car that arrived in Bilbao … By plane! “That Mercedes,” he said, “arrived on August 23, 1948 enrolled in Bilbao with plate 14141” and one step was to tell the episode of a car and a lake. If he did not, it was because the avatar does not appear in the book.
Let’s go back to the data. It should be underlined among the first 1000 tuition that 41% are of French brands and 17% of the United States. The most repeated surname in the first sample of registration is the ybarra, followed by the Zubiria, Amezola, Chavarri, Arana, Allende. Do you allow me something else …? Bizkaia already had electric cars with Bi 21, Bi 50 and Bi 43 of the French brand Krieger and the first five cars enrolled in the territory were a Delhaye, from Salustiano Mogrovejo; a boyer of Ricardo Damboreneasurveilled two Panhards of Ignacio Urcola and a peugeot of Marqués de Villagodio. The first woman who enrolled a car was Mará de la RevillaIbarra widow. It was the thirteenth car that wore new plates in Bizkaia.
