The art deco-styled Dynamic was a departure for Panhard, known for its stately and conservative cars in the 1920’s and 1930’s, built for high-class clients such as bishops, and military and government officials. It was the largest car ever made in its time with a unibody design, and featured dual circuit brakes and independent front suspension.

The timing was wrong for the Dynamic, as it arrived when France was going through a period of social and political unrest. The Second World War was looming on the horizon and only 2,500 cars were made during the Dynamic’s first year in production.
