This kind of body was called a 'Roi des Belges' Open Tourer. This car was not built for the Kinfg of Belgium ( they had Excelsiors and Minerva's with Belgian bodies, (later Packard, Bugatti, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari etc. as well)

"IN 1901, when the fabulously rich King Leopold II of the Belgians (who personally owned the Belgian Congo) decided to buy a new car, he chose arguably the best chassis of its day, a big 40hp Panhard & Levassor."

David Burgess-Wise, writing in "A good idea at the time: Roi des Belges body style", published in The Telegrph, March 2001
