From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Panhard 178 (officially designated as automitrailleuse de découverte mle 1935, 178 being the internal project number at Panhard) was an advanced 4X4 armoured car that was designed for the French Army before World War II. It had a crew of four and was equipped with a 25mm main armament and a 7.5mm coaxial machine gun.
