The history of these legendary Peugeots
These five models alone tell the story of Peugeot's evolution during its thirty glorious years . The 404, launched in 1960, revolutionized the brand's image with its Pininfarina-designed styling and legendary reliability. It quickly became the car of choice for professionals and distinguished itself in African raids, notably the Paris-Dakar.
The 204, which arrived in 1965, marked a major technological turning point with its front-wheel drive and transverse engine. This innovation repositioned Peugeot in the modern compact market. Its successor, the 304, perfected this formula in 1969 with a more assertive style and more powerful engines.
The 504, introduced in 1968, represents the pinnacle of Peugeot's expertise at the time. Its exceptional road qualities and robustness made it a global benchmark, particularly appreciated in African markets where it is still used today. The small 104, launched in 1972, democratized the automobile by offering an affordable but well-finished vehicle.
A golden era of French automobiles
These Peugeots represent a golden age in the French automotive industry, when national manufacturers dominated their domestic market. The 1960s and 1980s saw the birth of technically daring and aesthetically successful models, designed to last for decades.
The most memorable anecdote remains that of the Peugeot 404 in the Paris-Dakar Rally. In 1975, a production 404 won this legendary event, proving the model's legendary robustness. This victory definitively forged the brand's reputation for reliability and still inspires Peugeot racing teams today.
These vehicles also bear witness to a time when the automobile was a long-term family project . People kept their Peugeot for fifteen or twenty years, sometimes passing it on to their children. This philosophy is reflected in the quality of manufacture and the care taken with the finishes, aspects faithfully reproduced in the Models.

Why is the Peugeot 304 considered a pivotal model?
The Peugeot 304, produced from 1969 to 1980, marked the transition from the era of rear-wheel drive cars (like the 404) to the era of front-wheel drive. It incorporated the avant-garde mechanics of the 204 in a more spacious body, foreshadowing the future evolution of the entire Peugeot range.
