Introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October 1936, the Panhard et Levassor Dynamic is a remarkable embodiment of modern automotive engineering. This exceptional car showcases an advanced electrically welded steel unibody in Art Deco style, enriched with intricate matching details in cast aluminum and metal stampings, both inside and out. Its fully independent front torsion bar suspension, featuring engine-mounted wishbones and four hydraulic shock absorbers, contributes to its outstanding performance.
