Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 1910 Panhard & Levassor X7 Landaulet with Rothschild bodywork, offered at the Bonhams Auction at the 2018 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance. Sold new to New York City, chassis and engine number 26021 has a sleeve-valve engine with about 25hp. From the Bonhams blurb:

By the early 1960s, it had been acquired by Long Island collector Walter McCarthy. It came with two bodies, the landaulet it now wears, and a tourer. McCarthy restored it with the touring body, sourcing missing items as necessary. He toured with it extensively, as described in the car's chapter in Bob Stubenrauch's 1967 book The Fun of Old Cars.

Walt McCarthy sold the car to Bob Scarsella of Cold Spring Harbor, New York, who re-installed the landaulet body. It subsequently was in the collections of Helmut Peitz in Portugal and Abba Kogan in the UK. It was then acquired by Coburn Benson of Limerick, Maine, who had the engine disassembled, cleaned, re-babbited and align-bored by a local machinist. Benson sold it to the current owner, who had the engine re-assembled by Rich Fazio in Bridgewater, Maine. The interior, which had become very moth-eaten, was replaced in the current style by Terri Crew.

The restoration is older with the exception of the interior. The collapsing rear roof is nothing short of elegant; the lowering side windows exhibits the fine woodwork.
