Panhard was originally called Panhard et
Levassor, and was established as a car manufacturing concern by René
Panhard and Émile Levassor in 1887.
From 1925 until passenger car production ended in 1940 Panhard's
cars used Knight sleeve valves. In 1925 a 4.8 litre (292ci) model
set the world record for the fastest hour run, an average of 185.51
km/h (115.26 mph). Panhard & Levassor's last pre-war car was the
unusually styled monocoque Dynamic series, first introduced in 1936.
