1934 Panhard & Levassor 35 CV record car (first time faster than 125 mph). The car is now in the National Carmuseum in Mulhouse, France.

That appears to be a Panhard-Levassor special, probably a rebuild of the 35CV record car of about 1927
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

DynaMike

Yes, in 1926 Panhard started with their Lame-de-Rasoir (shaving knife) record cars, indeed. The 35CV was modified several times, but as far as I know it was only in 1934 that it got this final shape.

You're both correct. I'm trying to relocate locate the site that identifies this as a replica.

As Dynamike said, the real one is in Mulhausen
It looks like this:

It looks like this:

Allan, Alsace-Lorraine is French again since 1918, and we French have been at peace with Germany for a long time now. We don't want to start WWI again, do we? So please try to give the town its French name.

Hope you had a great day?  ::)
Lüttich is Liege, Köln is Cologne, München is Munich, Strasbourg is called Straßburg (by 99,9% of the Germans!) -- where is your problem?

It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Sorry, Ray, force of habit!
When my German great-grandparents and their friends were thrown out of Straßburg, Elsass in 1918, they were not inclined to use French names and nor were their descendants.
Happily the wine is still more German than French!

Allemano, have you lost your sense of humour?
My comment was meant purely as a joke, sorry if you didn't get that. This is the trouble when you try to be witty in a language that is not your mother tongue. Sometimes it doesn't come trough. True, some of my great-grandparents were from Elsass, so this is maybe why I thought some people would feel uneasy in their grave. I personally don't give a hoot about it.
But you're right, Allemano, whe French have that nasty habit  to rename foreign cities with sounds more suitable to our ears. I criticize it quite often but I must also do it all the time, when speaking at least, maybe less in writing.

Allemano

Sorry, but as a not native speaker I indeed have problems to get that joke. On the other hand I'm not sure if we do share the same sense of humour. Even than we had talked to each other in my mother language.
Never mind, but I hardly  find any punch line.  ???
