Panhard does not build many cars like the Panhard Dyna X: a 4-door berline / 3-door estate / 2-door cabriolet / Light Van with 610 , built from 1948 to 1954 in a decade split by war, when civilian production stopped and restarted. Its designer of record is Jean Albert Grégoire.
The story
The Panhard Dyna X was a lightweight berline produced by the French manufacturer Panhard from 1948 to 1954. It was designed by the engineer Jean Albert Grégoire and first exhibited as the AFG (Aluminium Français Grégoire) Dyna at the Paris Motor Show in October 1946.
What is underneath
Under the skin sits 610 other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 550 kg−615 kg. The gearbox is a 4-speed manual / Column mounted control. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2130 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in Panhard's history is not in doubt: the Panhard Dyna Z followed it. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Porsche 356, the Citroën 2CV, the Chevrolet Bel Air. Nearby in the Panhard catalogue sit the Panhard & Levassor M2F Break CnAM 20520 and the Panhard & Levassor 15 CV.
The money
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Panhard Dyna X has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
