FactIn July 1948 Georges Desmoulin drove a stock Dyna X deep into the Arctic Circle in Finland, in a car with an aluminum body over a steel frame.
The Panhard Dyna X was a lightweight berline produced by Panhard from 1948 to 1954 (47,049 built), designed by the engineer Jean Albert Grégoire and first exhibited as the AFG (Aluminium Français Grégoire) Dyna at the Paris Motor Show in October 1946; Panhard, known in the 1930s for expensive six- and eight-cylinder sedans, bought the rights to the smaller car and produced it at Ivry in commercial quantities by 1948, setting the pattern for Panhard passenger cars until it abandoned automobile production in 1967. It had an all-steel tubular frame chassis with a lightweight aluminium four-door superstructure, front-wheel drive through a 4-speed column-shift gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios, and a low, air-cooled two-cylinder boxer engine designed by Louis Delagarde. The names Dyna 110, 120 and 130 represented the cars' progressively increasing top speeds in km/h. At launch in 1946 the 610 cc unit gave a claimed 24 hp at 4,000 rpm, 28 hp at 5000 rpm by 1949 and a top speed of 110 km/h (68 mph); displacement rose to 745 cc in 1950 and 851 cc in 1952, with the Dyna 130 claiming 40 hp and 130 km/h (81 mph). The model table gives per-model outputs: Dyna 100 X (610 cc, 22 PS), Dyna 110 X (610 cc, 28 PS), Dyna 120 X (745 cc, 33 PS), Dyna 120 Sprint X (36-37 PS), Dyna 130 X (851 cc, 38 PS), Dyna 130 Sprint X (42 PS) and Scarlette X (851 cc, 40 PS, May 1953–May 1954); where the text and table disagree (the 100 X's 22 PS against 24 hp, and the 130's 38 PS against 40 hp) or the table gives a range, no horsepower is entered. Alternative bodies included a two-door cabriolet, a 3-door estate ("Break") and a "Fourgonette" light van. In July 1948 Georges Desmoulin and two friends drove a standard car well within the Arctic Circle in northern Finland. The Dyna X berline was replaced by the larger Dyna Z in 1954. Wheelbase 2,130 mm (84 in), length 3,820 mm (150 in), width 1,440 mm (57 in), height 1,530 mm (60 in).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Simca beat Fiat to market by three months with what was essentially Fiat's own Topolino design.
The Simca 1000 began at Fiat: Simca boss Henri Pigozzi picked one of six boxy clay models from Fiat's "Project 122".
The last Simca 1000 ever built, the 1978 Rallye 3, was also the rarest — just 1,000 were made in the model's final year, a quiet send-off for a car that had sold nearly two million.
To drum up buzz at launch, Simca briefly swapped 50 of its Paris taxi fleet's Ariane sedans for tiny new 1000s, making the little car a familiar sight on the capital's streets.
The PL 17's name is a sum: 5 fiscal horsepower, 6 seats, 6 litres per 100 km, kept a digit below the Citroën DS 19's.
The humble Tagora spawned a one-off concept, the Présidence, decked out with Connolly leather and electronics way ahead of 1981 — a built-in telephone, dictaphone, text-message receiver and a TV with VCR.
Talbot fed the Tagora's V6 old-fashioned triple carburettors instead of fuel injection — and the extra power briefly made it the most powerful French car on sale. Only 1,083 were ever built.
Switching the 96 from a two-stroke to a Ford V4 was such a closely guarded secret that Saab invented a fake company, Maskinverktyg AB, just to buy the new engine's parts without its own purchasing department finding out.
