Kow’s original artwork for his 1932 Panhard advertisement remained virtually unchanged on its way to lithographic completion. In truth, the only change made in the transition was the addition of a scarlet tone to the currently neutral streak on the vehicle’s left side. The image’s visceral appeal created an immediate sensation. Vendre lavished the following praise upon Kow’s handiwork at the time of its creation: "Who, amongst the viewers of illustration isn’t brought to a standstill by this Panhard advertisement? A. Kow’s drawing has a magnificent dynamism, with this hood that bursts through the margin while giving the sensation that it’s ‘eating’ the road with its thunderbolt pace. It’s curious to analyze the details by which the artists attains what he bestows, with its dead lines, the image is speed itself” (Kow, p. 34). Panhard was the single biggest client of Kow’s career; in the 35 years from 1922 to 1957 he created some 60 superb posters and advertisements for the firm.
