Not by Vivez and the year is earlier......

Found it. Victor Guesdon made this one with hard top. 1952.
Elegant car by the way.

Yes well done and it is an elegant little car.
Another point for you.

Here's another two views -

According to René Bellu the bottom picture shows a Panhard Junior Cabriolet bodied by F. Vivez of Bordeaux, exhibited at Enghien in 1957

woodinsight · April 21, 2012, 12:04:11 AM

According to the book on Panhard Dyna history by Bernard Vermeylen it is by Victor Guesdon (see extract below) but I'm unsure which one is incorrect..... $:-\$

Perhaps Vivez was responsible for the modifications or the restoration?

qwaszx · April 21, 2012, 02:26:55 AM

told you. there is also an evening pic where halts on a stand...

woodinsight · April 21, 2012, 02:37:46 AM

Thanks qwaszx.
I'm assuming the car was built by Victor Guesdon in 1952 and modified by F. Vivez in 1957.

It is a Panhard Dyna, yes, but the builder is actually unknown.
I only know of one picture of this car on the 'Net, which is on a well-known French site where the poster says he long thought it was built by an obscure coachbuilder near Bordeaux, but a Panhardiste has now told him this is not correct and it still isn't known who built it.
The car has survived but is in a very sorry state somewhere..

I think we'll call it solved because we're never going to find out who built it!

Wendax · November 11, 2015, 09:48:35 AM

At least we know that the picture was taken in Enghien-les-Bains.

It seems to be quite a popular location for photographic cars like this!

pguillem · November 11, 2015, 11:59:42 AM

Another picture. I had it as a Panhard Dyna from 1952 bodied by Vivez. Unfortunately, I can't find the page again. Who knows ?
