French made car. Panhard ?

EDIT: 90% sure it's a 1896-1897 Panhard & Levassor

Une Panhard, dans un film US de 1900, franchement, j'en doute. Même s'il y a des points communs. ;)

Pourquoi pas? Ils en importaient pas mal, des voitures européennes à l'époque. D'autant plus que les vues sont prises à New-York. C'était d'ailleurs un problème pour eux, ces importations, d'où l'affaire du brevet Selden. D'ailleurs, Panhard avait été la première marque attaquée si je ne me trompe pas.

I've been checking..and there were cars being sold around Europe at this time (1896 german cars being sold in france,england etc..) ..could it be possible for cars ..from Europe/GB being shipped to the USA (..I think so.!)

I believe this is the same vehicle, from the Matropolitan Magazine feature on this event. It was the first run in New York City by the Automobile Club of America, November 4, 1899[Image: mvc007fro6.6194.jpg]

In the marvelous and extremely accurate book "Panhard & Levassor - entre tradition et modernité" de Bernard Vermeylen, the car is called "Char à bancs 6CV M2F avec capote". It was built from 1896 till 1902. In 1896, 34 were built and 6 exported (though it is not stated to what destination), during the total period 992 constructed and 79 exported (but only 15 till 1900).

:think: Don't know where the AX60 name was found, but I'm very confident in what Bernard Vermeylen says.
