Panhard Gives You Wiiiings!!!... [PIC]

World War l killed millions, destroyed countries, toppled empires and radically changed culture and design esthetics. The beautiful organic Art Nouveau period was over replaced by a more stark and industrial look. Post war Cubism and Dadaism embraced geometrics morphing to Art Deco and then began to embrace the French Curve over sharp angles. By the beginning of the 1930s, it was now the "Streamline Moderne". French designers at Panhard et Levassor found themselves at the forefront with even curving the cars' glazing with their "Panoramique" model with split A pillars with curved glass panels in between. In 1936, it was this Panhard Dynamic Saloon that set the pace for future designs. Integrating the headlamps into the wings with surrounds imitating the grill was trendsetting. Four wheel spats carried the theme to the swooping rear trunk all embellished by the tutone paint and pinstriping. In this  era of aerodynamic styling and this Age of Flight, designer Louis Bionier accessorized the cutting edge monocoque body with winged motifs everywhere. Although a bit over the top. you have to admire his attention to detail. Most controversial was the center positioned steering wheel with really insufficient room for adult passengers on either side.
