Citroën DS21 break and Panhard 17 break

It's been awhile ...it was time for a little cutie

 

You must admit, it would look cool getting pulled by a Panhard wagon. Whether it has the oomph to pull it is another matter...

 

I don't think the Panhard has either the weight, or the oomph under the hood, to tow that boat safely. If memory serves it is a sub-1 litre 2 cylinder 2 stroke and probably puts out something around 60 horsepower. I may well be wrong, but probably not off by too much. The Citroen, though, will have just enough oomph to pull a boat like that! So great to see such interesting cars being USED as cars!

 

Hi wagon-fans,

The boat would look great behind the Panhard. However, it has a 848 cc (that's about 52 cubic inch) 2 cylinder-boxer 4-stroke engine. About 50 horses when new...
The Citroën DS has a 2175 cc (133 cubic inch) 4-cylinder in-line. It will pull about any trailer.
If that's not up to the job, I fire up the UNIMOG 421:





It will tow away just about anything!

 

Yeah.....that might do it.

 

The Unimog has my vote for an adequate schlepper.
The Panhard definitely can't pull that boat with the size of that little sewing machine engine.
The Citroen has a better chance, no doubt.
Perhaps a lightweight aluminum boat and trailer would be more like it...or lightweight cartopper boat like shown in the picture.

 

That Unimog is quite something! There is one in Toronto, and I can tell you that the size and capability are incredible. One one show I was working, had the Unimog been able to rescue the generator truck from where it landed, they were going to have to air lift it out with a helicopter, because nothing else could get in there!

 

Yeah, it's no stationwagon, and it's old ('66), but it sure will tow!
