Here’s a pair of 1953 Panhard Dyna Juniors for sale on Ebay.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Neither cars are complete, with both of them missing headlights, bumpers, the original seats, and the original steering wheels (although custom replacements for the steering wheels and seats have been made).

Kinja'd!!!

Anyone else think that steering wheel looks super sketchy?

The cars are non-running but for the most part mechanically complete, and the seller says he has had them running in the past. The yellow one only has three shock absorbers, though, and the seller says it previously had some front end damage, so bondo is present. There are also lots of spare parts included in the sale, including two extra engines and a spare transmission. Could be quite the cute, fun little French sports cars when finished!

They look like pastiche  cars from an amusement park ride or something

Yup. And it seems they were actually fairly quick for the time. Panhard was able to make some decent power from those little engines, and I imagine these cars weigh practically nothing.
