Launched in 1936, the Dynamic broke with tradition in terms of body styles, specific to this pioneering brand. Very innovative car thanks to its aerodynamic design, what its "panoramic" windows, its steering wheel placed at the center of the cockpit or its valveless engine, the Dynamic was unique in its kind.The version we are offering is an X77, also called 140, and as such has a 2.8L 6-cylinder engine that develops 75bhp. This beautiful automobile was bought by Mr. Thanry during the sale of the Musée de la Réole in 2006. The car was then described as having benefited from a restoration with bare bodywork in 1989 and had a fuel tank in stainless steel and an electric fuel pump. In addition, this Panhard has been filmed in the movie “La Rumba” by Roger Hanin. Today, the sheet metal remains well adjusted, but the paint bears the marks of the years, as do the chrome which will, in part, have to be redone. The interior has been previously redone, and the beautiful dashboard is complete. The engine, which is the original one, is not stuck, but the car has not been started for a little over 10 years, so it will need a full overhaul before it gets back on the road. The original grille, which has been changed, will be delivered with the car. This baroque automobile, truly extraordinary, deserves to be a part of a new top quality collection.
