Panhard in Italy... quite a rare sight! Most (if not all) Panhards sold in Italy were built in Belgium. The car shown here is indeed a 1964 (only): ETA drumbrakes. |

I didn't know Panhard had a factory plant in Belgium  |

Sure, since 1957 Panhards were built in the Belgian Citroën factory in Forest/Voorst, near Brussels. And before that date, Panhards were built by Carrosserie d'Ieteren .gif ";)") "Les premières 24 arriveront en Belgique au Salon de Bruxelles 1964. Avec la gamme des 17, qui sont maintenant absolument conformes aux modèles assemblés en France, l'usine de Forest assemble une large gamme de Panhard, et l'acheteur dispose d'un choix important composé d'utilitaires, de breaks, de berlines, de coupés. Malheureusement, les chiffres de ventes, en diminution constante depuis 1962, n'arrivent pas à remonter. Au Salon de Paris 1964, des versions coach de la 24 apparaissent : avec un habitacle allongé de 25 cm, au profit exclusif des passagers arrière, la 24 devient "berline" pour Panhard. Hélas, c'est d'une vraie berline à 4 portes que la marque doyenne a besoin. Elle ne verra jamais le jour." from http://www.panhard-levassor.be/ -- Last edit: 2010-06-17 22:49:41 |

"Vorst" to be exact. Where the Belgian Volkswagen factory is located. |

So does Volkswagen use the former Panhard-factory? |

I should say the former Volkswagen Vorst, it's now called "Audi Brussels". http://www.audibrussels.com/audi_brussels/brand/de.html "After WW II, Pierre D'Ieteren managed to obtain the sales rights for VW and so they became the official Belgian distributor of that German manufacturer from 1948 until this day. D'Ieteren bought a piece of land in Vorst for the assembly of the Studebakers and soon this was followed by the assembly of Volkswagens. Since 1950, Pierre D'Ieteren also became the importer of Porsche. The Volkswagen factory in Vorst was sold to Volkswagen in 1970. Pierre D'Ieteren died in road accident in 1975 and his son Roland took over management of the now very large D'Ieteren empire."

Actually I've been reading this interview with a former chief at Citroën Vorst: http://www.citroenami6.nl/Vraaggesprek.html (in Dutch) and he states that the factory buildings were indeed taken over by VW. |

 Perhaps an idea for the forum, to open a thread about the history of car-factories.I can add a few right now: Borgward in Bremen - now Mercedes Benz DKW in Düsseldorf - now Mercedes Benz Transporter Glas in Dingolfing - now BMW NSU in Neckarsulm - now Audi |
