Panhard et Levassor was founded as early as 1887. In the beginning, they produced cars with Daimler engines under license. The company has constructed cars that have been far advanced both technologically and in terms of design. From the war, models such as the Panhard Dyna X, Dyna Z and PL17 became popular. In 1967, the company was taken over by Citroen and all production of Panhard passenger cars was stopped.
