The chrome things under the headlights are aftermarket lights, most probably used as indicators. They are the same as used on Panhard Dyna [X], like you can see on this Cabriolet (owned by the president of the Dutch Panhard club):

A pity they didn't put it on a (then) brandnew 150 Six H And when this car gets an accident (in a chase with the Sunbeam it avoids to hit a chicken and ends up at the edge of the road) it suddenly changes to the smaller BL -- Last edit: 2010-11-14 15:10:35
