1959-63 PANHARD PL 17 Berline

The PL 17 replaced the Dyna Z and was presented on June 29, 1959. For model year 1961 a cabriolet was added followed by an estate version in April 1963.

Late 1963 the PL 17 range underwent a minor facelift for the 1964 model year.

 

Responsible for the avant garde design of the PL 17 and his predecessor Dyna Z was Louis Bionier (1898-1973) in cooperation with André Jouan.

In 1965 Citroën became full owner of Panhard. In the same year production of the PL 17 has ceased.

I came across with this old Panhard on a car park of a GB Supermarché during our trip back home. It's obviously a daily driver.
