Thank you

It was revealed on another forum that is famous for collecting information about coachbuilders but that I am probably not allowed to link to from here, that this car is still alive and in the process of being restored. This picture belongs to the owner of the car who posted it on the aforementioned coachbuild forum.

It's a 1953 Panhard with an aluminium body by Emile Bore, I believe.

I have the build date as 1952, but you're correct about the make and coachbuilder. Now locked for you to complete by naming the model.

Dyna Z?

Dyna Z?

This was a couple of years before the Dyna Z.

Yes this is where the date becomes significant. My photo - attached, shows it as 1955 where it would have been more likely a Dyna Z base,  but looking at the wheels I am more inclined to your date of 1952 which would make the base car a Dyna X 5cv.  Perhaps Emile Bore built it in 1955 but based it on a second -hand older vehicle!

Your photo says "1953."

Anyway, that's it. The point is yours!
