The Peugeot 504 was a hit at the Paris Salon in 1968. An extremely well-designed and developed car with a solid basis; longitudinal engine in the front and rear-wheel drive. Besides the sportier driving experience, also more balance. A successful successor to the 404, which had been in production since 1960. A year after its introduction, the 504 was awarded the (then very prestigious) Car of the Year title.
In this article we will take a closer look at the Cabriolet. We have a beautiful 504 Cabrio, finished in Metallic Silver Green. The body was designed by Pininfarina, and it shows! Technically the Cabrio is similar to the Berline, but the wheelbase is 15 cm shorter. The 2.0 litre engine with injection shares it with the 504 Ti. From 1970 to 1974, the 4-pit was scrapped and replaced by the PRV V6 engine, which had been developed by Renault, Volvo and Peugeot themselves. After long urging by enthusiasts, in 1974 the four-cylinder engines were reintroduced in the convertibles. This made the Peugeot a lot more light-footed than the big 6-cylinder, and therefore more fun to drive!
This 504 is from 1981, was delivered in the Netherlands, and has only had two loves. The car is in truly top condition. The car is in its original colours of silver green and cognac. There is about 8 centimetres of thick paperwork with the car, and it has already proven to be a nice investment project. The French border is only about 3.5 hours away, so you can continue in one go. Will we see you soon?
