In my childhood I spent some years in Geneva (French part of Switzerland.) There was one Panhard on our street and few in the neighborhood, the sound is so unique, like a motorcycle in a barn. The Citroëns that would stand up by themselves and the sound of the Panhards is so closely related to my French childhood.

We had a black 1960 Dyna.Z in Montreal for several years in the mid-sixties. Red and black interior. Economical, safe in the snow, reliable and huge inside with the flat floor, rounded roof and wide bench seats. Air cooled 2 cyl would start straight away in sub-zero February mornings, while our other car - a ‘56 Pontiac Pathfinder sat in the garage with its engine oil heater keeping its block warm. There was a dealership downtown in Sherbrooke Street if I remember correctly, that also sold Citroen cars. There may be some examples still around, but the road salt and sand used to keep icy Canadian roads under control in winter sure took its toll on sheet metal. Good memories: thank you Jay !

AT LAST!!! So many episodes of Jay's Garage, and always I saw this PL17 standing in the corner and I couldn't keep my eyes from it... I'm a Dutch guy and know the Panhard's very well from my youth, and I loved them so much! SO happy to see and hear this wonderful car again! I still remember how sad I felt when Panhard was taken over by Citroen. Such inventive automobiles, like Jay says, and together with Daimler (Mercedes) Benz and Peugeot one of the oldest car companies in the world. Model 24CT (the coupé) is also an incredible beauty! So if you Americans don't know these cars: google! Thank you Jay for this wonderful video!

Bonjour M. Leno, I know that Panhard Levasseur is a pioneer, I've seen their name many times, but this video made me realize that I know nothing about their cars. Showing us this jewel is like opening a new chest, I just want to dig out some more. Thank you Mr Leno for sharing your passion. To understand french roads is to understand french cars, specially those of Paris. Back in the day, Paris had brick roads. Driving on old brick roads is noisy, and the whole car start shaking. Speed enhance noise and vibration. This explain why french cars have such good suspension. Their cars are comfortable, because their roads are not. At the oppposite, USA probably have the best roads in the world, no need for good suspension, no need for suspension at all, the tires alone can do the job. This is why hardtail motorcycles, only make sense in the USA. Don't ride those in Paris... Thank you and have a nice day

We lived in San Franscisco in the late 50's. My dad started with a Renault 4CV, then traded up to a Panhard. This was the all-aluminum variety. Probably wouldn't have lasted as long as the low-stressed Beetle, but it was the sports car of its class, 1,100 lb and a 2-stroke engine, so it was a bit of a pocket rocket. Huge Alfin brake drums, so it could stop as well as handle. Ours was black, and we drove it across Death Valley on the way to New York. With the aluminum body, heat transfer was pretty intense- it would pretty much raise blisters if you laid your arm on the window sill...

When I was racing an F prod Sprite at Bridgehampton ~1973, Harry Schneider, a French teacher (an American) raced a Deusch Bonnet in HP. He flat towed it with a Panhard with a spare engine and his two small boys on board. Often they would do an engine change in the paddock! Amazing! And one weekend, they went through two engines, putting the tow car engine in the race car, then back in the Panhard for the trip home to NW NJ. Remarkable! Their antics keeping the thing on track were interesting, but they certainly had fun!

I did once earnestly desire one of these. But I was a penniless student and settled for a Citroen 2CV Bijou, with a DS-like streamlined fibreglass body, and an engine only half the size, for twenty-five pounds sterling. It did 70 mph and ran 70 miles on an imperial gallon, but not in rain or blustery conditions. It never lost traction, and always climbed snowy hills when no other wheeled vehicle could. It was a rather noisy and ugly little thing - and unfortunately died of corrosion - but while I had it, I was in love.

Thanks a Bunch Jay for having this channel, as a non-sports playing, lower middle class youngster of the 60's (I'm 58 here in a couple months as of the date of this video), those in my social class eventually turned to cars as an after school activity through default, we simply didn't have much else to expend our energies on. Through trial and error and very little money to speak of, we all learned the hard way how to keep our beaters running, which I think does cause you to have more of an appreciation of Auto's and how they're built.

A nice look at an unusual car. I think Jay is at his very best showing how much he likes stuff like this. For sure, French cars were always unique and original, and often damned clever and stylish too even if a bit strange sometimes. Some of the 1960's Eastern European stuff was even wierder. tho'. They even had big two cylinder two-stroke engines. The Wartburg, I recall as a kid in the UK, you filled up with gas and then added a pint of ordinary motor oil to the gas tank (and hoped it mixed nicely!) It's interesting how this retro white plastic 'space pod' dashboard look is enjoying a bit of a comeback at the moment in some European small cars, notably in the modern Fiat 500's. Myself, I think it's rather nice, The hi-tech modern functional dash in most modern cars gets a samey after a while, so retro looks (but with all the modern dials, presented in an imaginative way) can be quite refreshing.

The PL17 was the first car that I owned, so I was delighted to find this video! Back in the early 1970s, I bought mine for £30. More recently, I paid exactly the same amount for an obsolete Dinky Toy model of the same car :-) As you said, the PL17 has a multitude of design details. But here is one that you may not have noticed. The parking lights on the door pillars show a red lens forward and a red lens to the rear. Of course. But should you happen to park on the wrong side of the road at night, those parking lights can be rotated, so that oncoming traffic still sees a red light. I loved that thoughtful little detail!

What a neat little automobile, I like seeing the oddball stuff, but really is impressive to get that much power out of a motor that small, it seems the French did think out of the box.

Awesome video.... it's things like this that keep me coming back every single week to watch Jay Leno's garage.... I worked as a mechanic for years in a dealership that sold BMW ..Citroën.. Peugeot ..Saab. We also serviced many an oddball European car... including DKW. The 60s into the 80s were a glorious time for European cars.How about a show on the English car TVR??? One of my absolute favorites. Thank you Mr. Leno for all that you do for the automotive world and to keep history alive!

These PL engines also have roller cam/lifters. The lifter body is made from alu so its very light. The head and cylinder is also cast in one piece so no head gasket. You have to do the valve seats from the the bottom of the cylinders. The cam gear has a fishbone pattern theeth so there is no axial force on the cam/crank. Also the oil light pressure switch is a wood plug in the center of the camshaft that pops out and activates a switch.

I had a Renault 18i for almost 10 years. The engine was interesting. Pushrod OHV, Hemi head with the camshaft mounted very high in the block. Liked to rev pretty well. Had the same engine in a Fuego (now there's one for Jay to have on). But it got totaled with 3200 miles. Very comfortable car

An early one where the suspension was truly weird.

Well, suspension on the 2CV never changed at all.

@smokeyjoe7251 7 жыл бұрын

julosx Apart from the shock absorbers, nope, didn't change significantly. The older Type AZ had oil filled dampeners behind each wheel, which were effective however they did increase unsprung weight so they ended up using more modern conventional shocks that were mounted horizontally, parallel to the suspension linkage. Perhaps Stevie wants to see them old timey shocks?

@Stevieboy130664 7 жыл бұрын

They were called ballons - they were bolted solidly to the swing arms but not anywhere else. Later cars had more conventional dampers.

When I was a kid in the 1960s, they were so popular in Western Europe (France, Belgium, the Netherlands) and you could hear them coming, The sound of their engine is different from the 2CV although of a similar construction: 2 cylinders, air cooled. Today being 25 Dec 2020, I wish you all a Merry Christmas despite the nasty virus.

I love the engine, a flat twin air cooled like on a great family of A frame based Citroen, It also looks like a more sexy and more futuristic version of the 2cv engine with a shiny rounded air duct for the cylinders in stead of the squarish painted one on a 2cv engine.

Deutsch Bonnet was not only a coach builder but a construction specialist duo, Charles Deutsch and René Bonnet designed aerodinamically optimized sportscoupes based on panhard. They split up in '61/ '62 and C Deutsch designed for Panhard the CD Highspeed coupe which won its class in Le Mans '62 and '63 doing 190 km/h with this little engine! R Bonnet instead designed the french Miura the Bonnet Djet a little rear mid engined sports car with engine from the Simca 1000 and Renault 8 Major both tuned up to 1100 cc between 57 and 67hp in 1966 Bonnet sold his car and patents to MATRA. They produced the 530LX mid engine car with Ford V4 Engine between '67 and '73.see here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5mIaad8uamXlZc.html or there: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrVohZB01NDIgIU.html and finally this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g52HgJadmp61qas.html
