panhard commented on Just About Every Car You'd Find In 1967 France

"This really brings back some nice memories of our holidays in France, my brother and I used to get out of the cat at each and every gas station to see the wrecked cars just lying there, France had hardly any highways but simple straight 'nationales'with rows of trees at the side, built in the Napoleontic era and the trees were planted to keep the roads cool ins ummertime for the horses."

panhard commented on 1966 Magnette 1622

"Well it seems that old Battista Pininfarina's creations keep coming and coming, hence the BMC's the Fiat 1800's the Lancia Flamminia's and Pug's 404 !"

panhard commented on Yo, Biodiesel Wannabes! Forget The Benz- Get This Peugeot 205 XRD!

"We had one as a van, even cheaper with roadtax robbers in Holland, we did over 350000 k in it and I am very sorry to tell it always ran, bought it for $ 500 (with 'only' 80000 on the clock) and it was rear ended and I mean rear ended by a big Merc."

"Pininfarina , Battista Pininfarina - need I say more ?"

panhard commented on Malaise Is A French Word: 1979 Simca Talbot 1100 In Paris

"The owner and the Simca deserve a price : They've survived the Parisian traffic, with what Parisians would call minimal damage !"

panhard commented on Peugeot 404s On The March: Punta Arenas, Chile

"Do I detect Jalopnik'ers to have a soft spot for the 404?This is most probably a post '72 404 because the side indicator lenses in the frontwings are missing"

panhard commented on Cadillac May Can STS, DTS Replacements

"The problem with Cadillac is that they are neither flesh nor fish, on one hand they try to compete with the European brands and on the other hand its the Japanese breathing down their neck."

panhard commented on 1983 Honda Civic Wagon

"@mytdawg - I am very sorry but I haven't got any photographic (pronographic !)evidence, however a couple of old retired salty dogs livin down the street were very upset when the Alfa became a total loss, they came to talk to me and told me that seeing these girls pushing the Alfa in the morning always made their day !"
