The Panhard & Levassor company is the oldest french company.

The first mass-produced car with an internal combustion engine sold in France in 1891 was a P&L (before Benz, Daimler or Peugeot) hence its name as the « Doyennes des marques » (The « oldest brand »).

If the brand is best know for its post-war Dyna, PL17 and 24, the Panhards from 1891 to 1940 are mainly large luxury cars with valveless engines (Knight patent from 1910).

A marriage between tradition and modernity, these are well-finished cars (fine parts, careful adjustments), designed and decorated without ostentation which hide a simple but often avant-garde design, hence their appeal.

Owners of Panhard, we love the elegance of their bodies which have their place among the most prestigious brands. However, faced with the scarcity of survivors, the scarcity of know-how and spare parts, and the complexity of certain techniques, we remain accessible. If you like elegance and technique… and elegant technique, don’t hesitate to join us !

The official website of the Doyennes P&L offers you a taste of our passion for these exceptional and rare cars.
