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 (Note the chrome ornament strip between the head lamps has disappeared, and the indicator lamps were changed).
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 found this PL 17 Cabrio during a holiday trip to the south of France.
The yellow car in the back was my car at that time. It was a 1982 Ford Escort Van 1300 which I had converted into a compact mobile home.
