1939 Panhard Levassor Dynamic

1939 Panhard et Levassor X82 Dynamic 160 Berline This 1939 Panhard et Levassor X82 Dynamic 160 Berline is an extremely rare and unique car just out of a large European collection. This wonderfully solid and complete example would be a superb project for the enthusiast of art deco automobile design or eccentric French motor cars. Chassis 231069 is the ultimate Dynamic, a 98-brake horsepower X82 example from 1939, and it is one of a handful of this most desirable model known to survive of the 114 originally built. The last big Panhard to adopt the complex, smooth-running Knight sleeve-valve engine, and, indeed, the last Knight-powered automobile manufactured anywhere in the world, was the sleek Dynamic, which was introduced in 1936. The car was designed by Louis Bionier, and it featured a seductive, streamlined design, which had shielded headlights that blended into full-figured wings, half-covered wheels, and an unusual triple-pane windshield with three wipers. It was the first French luxury car to feature steel monocoque bodywork, and in its initial form, it even had a centre-mounted steering wheel.
