After the war, Panhard, the old French brand, started to produce simple, robust and efficient cars. After the Dyna X and its very Louis XV baroque style, the Z was introduced in June 1953. With its very round face and elegant Duralinox bodywork, the newborn car had a revolutionary Cx for the time of 0. 26 and exceptional performance for a car with such a small displacement (851 cc twin-cylinder). It consumed only 6 liters per 100 km while carrying 6 passengers... The recipe is ideal for commercial success, but the production costs, especially for the Duralinox body, were underestimated, and management (Citroën took a 25% stake in the brand in 1955, and then 45% in 1958) decided to go all-steel in 1958, with an extra weight of more than 150 kg. In the meantime, Renault had replied with the well thought-out and inexpensive Dauphine, and Panhard had to develop its range. In 1959, the new PL 17 replaced the Dyna Z, of which 139, 065 were produced (sedans).
The Dyna Z16 that we present was put on the road on October 21, 1958 and has today a little over 57, 000 km on the odometer, which could be its original mileage. The car was repainted in its original color, a beautiful aqua green, while its interior is still the same as when it left the factory, with two-tone leatherette (Grand Standing finish) and woven carpets (under the rubber ones). Apart from a few blemishes on the bodywork and cracked door seals, the steering wheel and some interior plastics are cracked. The mechanical set works very well, as do the brakes, and the Michelin XSX radial tires have not been used much. The engine, an M5 Aerodyne, works well, as does the gearbox. This Dyna Z, in its nice original color combination, will delight the experienced Panhardist as well as the 1950s peoples car lover.
Estimation : 30 000 – 40 000 €
