The 1908 Peugeot Double Phaeton
In 1908, Peugeot was already establishing itself as one of the pioneers of French automobiles. The Double Phaeton represents the culmination of the research conducted by the brand during the first decade of the century. This open-body design, characteristic of the time, offered generous accommodation capacity while retaining the elegance of the horse-drawn vehicles it still largely drew inspiration from.
Equipped with a single-cylinder or twin-cylinder engine depending on the version, this model reflects the technological transition made by Peugeot between its steam cars of the early days and true modern automobiles. Spoked wheels, pivot steering, and the absence of a closed body characterize this pivotal period in automotive history.
The commercial success of these first Peugeot models can be explained by their robustness and remarkable reliability for the time. These qualities enabled the brand to establish itself durably in the emerging automotive market and lay the foundations for its future industrial development.
Peugeot at the beginning of the 20th century
When this Double Phaeton rolls out of the workshops in 1908, Peugeot has already accumulated fifteen years of experience in the automotive field. Founded by Armand Peugeot in 1896, the automotive division of the family business is rapidly developing under the impetus of constant innovations and an ambitious industrial vision.
The first years of the century mark a period of expansion for Peugeot, which diversifies its range and continuously improves its manufacturing processes. The company, already strong from its experience in metallurgy and tooling, applies its industrial expertise to this new activity sector with immediate success. This technical expertise, inherited from generations of craftsmen and industrialists, gives the first Peugeot models a reputation for solidity that still endures today.
The saga of the first automotive shows
In 1908, automotive shows are major social events where the Parisian elite gathers to discover the latest innovations. The Peugeot Double Phaeton makes a sensation during these presentations, notably due to its ability to comfortably accommodate four people, a luxury for the time.
A notable anecdote recounts the participation of a Peugeot Double Phaeton in the first Paris-Rouen race organized in 1894. While the 1908 model is technically more advanced, it retains the pioneering spirit of these early sporting participations. Spectators of the time were fascinated by these "horseless carriages" capable of maintaining sustained speeds over long distances.
The social impact of these vehicles far exceeds their simple transport function. They symbolize entry into industrial modernity and embody the technological optimism characteristic of the Belle Époque. Owning a Peugeot Double Phaeton in 1908 meant displaying confidence in the future and adhering to the values of progress that animate French society at the beginning of the century.
These automobiles also transform social codes: they allow bourgeois families to explore new geographical horizons and profoundly alter leisure habits. The Double Phaeton, with its family configuration, accompanies this revolution of customs by making the automobile accessible to a growing social class.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
