The Peugeot 304 Break was the practical estate version of Peugeot’s compact 304 range, combining front-wheel drive, simple mechanicals and the kind of durability that made these cars common everyday transport in France and the Benelux countries.

The Peugeot 403 is remembered as the car that pushed Peugeot past the million mark, a Pininfarina-styled saloon renowned for being nearly indestructible.

Fitted with… Read More Blue cross: 1960 Peugeot 403 Ambulance
This Peugeot 203 Barchetta by Barbier is one of those rare postwar French specials that survived as a testament to a period when creativity and racing spirit went hand in hand.

Against the tide, Peugeot chose to fight the crisis by continuing to invest in… Read More Time traveler: 1936 Peugeot 301 D Coupe
Around 76,000 examples of this van were produced between 1950 and 1965, yet very few are seen around today.

We knew the sedan, station wagon and rare convertible versions, but we didn’t know of the existence of a coupé version, at least until a few days ago. Maybe we haven’t studied enough, but it’s also true that in years of sifting through tens of thousands of ads from all over the world, we’ve never… Read More Never seen before: 1963 Peugeot 403 Coupé
The Peugeot 403 are rare in the USA: the Cabriolet version, produced in a total not exceeding 2,500 secimens, is basically nowhere to be found.

In reality we did not understand very well from these photos the exact color of the car: it would seem a cross between green and blue, often called “oil green”.

It is not the first time that we publish a Peugeot 403 Cabriolet and let’s hope that it is not even the last, especially when that’s about a barn find. In fact, the seller claims that this cabriolet, built in little more than 2,000 specimens by Pininfarina, is a true barn find in the sense… Read More A restaurer: 1957 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet by Pininfarina
