1933 Panhard et Levassor 6 DS RL Navigation
In 1890, Rene Panhard and Emile Levassor built their first car. It was a mid-engined, back-to-back horseless carriage that was followed a year later by what many consider to be the first modern car, having a front-mounted engine and driving the rear axle.
With fellow countrymen Serpollet, DeDion, and Peugeot, Panhard & Levassor were the world's earliest automobile industry. It was also France that gave the name 'automobile' by combining Greek and Latin roots.
Panhard & Levassor were pioneers, introducing many industry 'firsts' such as the wheel steering (1896) and tubed radiators (1897). By 1902, there were over 1,000 Panhard automobiles in production. Panhard & Levassor were among the first motorsport competitors.
The Panhard automobiles continued to evolve and introduce new and exciting technologies. In 1910, the firm adopted sleeve valves for some models, the same year that the name of Levassor, who had died after an 1897 racing accident, was dropped from the cars. By 1924, all models had four-wheel brakes.
This particular vehicle is a 6 DS RL (Type X71) that was purchased new by Monsieur Lagouche of Arpajon, France on July 12th of 1933. The price of the car was 55,000 Francs and he placed a deposit of 30,000 Francs in order to take delivery of the car.
The body style is a faux-cabriolet in 'DERKA' trim. It originally was powered by a 4.1-liter, six-cylinder sleeve-valve engine. In December of 1934, the car was returned to the factory to have its engine replaced with the larger 4.8-liter, inline six-cylinder unit from the X74.By Daniel Vaughan | Jul 2017
