The Panhard 24CT: innovation and modernity
Launched in 1963, the Panhard 24CT represented the culmination of the French brand's aesthetic and technical research. Designed to succeed the PL17, this sedan was distinguished by its revolutionary monocoque body and its design by the Panhard design office, influenced by the aerodynamic trends of the time.
The model was characterized by its fluid and modern lines , with a distinctive front end marked by round headlights and a horizontal grille. Its slender silhouette and harmonious proportions made it a resolutely forward-looking automobile, contrasting with the more classic aesthetic codes of its French contemporaries.
Technically, the 24CT continued the Panhard tradition of the air-cooled flat-twin engine , an original solution that achieved remarkably low fuel consumption for the time. This unique technical approach contributed to the brand's unique identity within the French automotive landscape.
Panhard: a century of automotive innovation
Founded in 1891 by René Panhard and Émile Levassor, Panhard is one of the pioneers of French automotive design . In the 1960s, when the 24CT was created, the brand was going through a period of transition under the aegis of Citroën, which had taken control of the company in 1955.
This period marked Panhard's desire to reposition itself on the market with vehicles featuring bold designs and original technical solutions . The 24CT perfectly embodied this philosophy, offering a distinctive alternative to conventional saloons on the French market. The brand's technical heritage, particularly its expertise in fuel-efficient engines, found a successful expression in this model.
Unfortunately, despite its undeniable qualities, the 24CT did not meet with the expected commercial success, leading to the cessation of Panhard's civilian automobile production in 1967, marking the end of an era for this historic French brand.
A misunderstood avant-garde sedan
The history of the Panhard 24CT perfectly illustrates the gap that can exist between technical innovation and market expectations. When it was unveiled at the 1963 Paris Motor Show, this saloon car aroused the admiration of specialists for its futuristic design and original technical solutions, but struggled to convince the general French public.
Its avant-garde style , now recognized as pioneering, was then perceived as too radical by a clientele accustomed to the more conventional lines of Peugeot, Renault or Citroën of the time. This incomprehension of the public illustrated the difficulties encountered by independent manufacturers in imposing their vision in the face of the giants of the automobile industry.
Paradoxically, the same originality that was a commercial letdown for the 24CT now makes it an object of fascination for collectors . Its timeless design and rarity make it a sought-after automobile, a symbol of an era when French industry still dared to offer bold alternatives to established standards.
The 24CT is also remembered for being one of the last cars to proudly bear the Panhard badge, thus closing more than 70 years of civilian car production for a brand that had contributed to writing the first pages of automotive history.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
