Description of the Real Model
The Peugeot 403 was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October 1955, marking a stylistic revolution for the lion brand. Designed by Italian designer Pininfarina, it broke away from the rounded lines of its predecessor, the 203, to adopt a more modern and elegant silhouette that would define Peugeot's aesthetic for a decade.
This family sedan was distinguished by its pure and balanced lines, its characteristic chrome grille, and its round headlights integrated into the fenders. Powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine developing 58 horsepower, it offered an ideal compromise between performance, comfort, and economy for French families of the time. The 403 was available in several versions: sedan, family, convertible, and even commercial pickup.
With over 1.2 million units produced by 1966, the 403 enjoyed remarkable commercial success, affirming the relevance of Peugeot's stylistic choices and establishing the brand's image in the quality family sedan segment.
Brand Description
In the mid-1950s, Peugeot was undergoing a major transformation. Riding the success of the 203, the first true popular car of the post-war era, the Sochaux brand sought to modernize its image while retaining the values of robustness and reliability that had defined it since the 19th century.
This era marked Peugeot's entry into the age of modern mass production. The family-owned company, then led by Roland Peugeot, was making large investments in upgrading its production tools and technical innovation. The collaboration with Pininfarina for the 403 illustrated this desire to blend French tradition with Italian stylistic excellence, creating a unique visual identity that would last for decades and inspire the brand's future creations.

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).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
