Peugeot’s large saloon enters the modern era
With the 504, Peugeot opened a new chapter in its history in the late 1960s. More modern in both design and style, it gradually succeeded the large saloons that preceded it and became one of the brand’s flagship models.
The 504 stood out in particular for the emphasis placed on space for passengers and luggage, making it one of the great French family cars of its era.
Above all, the 504 enjoyed an exceptionally long production run. Its robustness and ability to adapt to a wide range of conditions enabled it to continue its legacy well beyond the French market.
A particularly comprehensive range
The 504 was not just a saloon.
Peugeot gradually expanded the model range to include numerous body styles to cater for a wide variety of uses: saloon, estate, pick-up, as well as coupé and convertible.
This great diversity, combined with the particularly spacious engine compartment, allowed for the use of various petrol and diesel engines.
This versatility would play a major part in the model’s reputation and its remarkable longevity.
An example from the early years of production
The car on offer is a 1971 Peugeot 504, an example dating from the very early years of the model’s production run.
It is presented as a carburettor-equipped version of the early models, predating or coinciding with the gradual introduction of trim levels such as L or GL within the range.
It currently has 9,561 km on the odometer.
The car on offer
This 504 is currently finished in Blanc Alaska (1304).
The interior, however, is of particular interest as it is stated to be original, with upholstery combining imitation leather and red fabric.
This contrast between the white bodywork and the red interior gives the car a very distinctive character, typical of cars from this period.
A true family saloon
The 504 was designed to offer space and comfort whilst remaining simple and robust enough for everyday use.
Its large saloon silhouette, spacious interior and generous glazing are reminiscent of an era when the family car was, above all, expected to transport passengers and luggage comfortably over long distances.
It thus represents a category of car that has largely disappeared today: the classic French saloon – comfortable and without excessive sophistication.
Condition and getting it roadworthy
It should be noted, however, that the necessary precautions should be taken before driving it again.
Given its age and the lack of a detailed service history, a general check of the vehicle is therefore recommended before regular use: fluids, brakes, tyres, cooling system, fuel system and main mechanical components.
The MOT is due.
Key points
This 1971 Peugeot 504 possesses the distinctive charm of the first large saloons of this generation.
It does not claim to be in exactly the same condition as when it left the factory, as its bodywork has been repainted white. However, it retains its original interior in velvet and red fabric, which is an interesting feature of this particular example.
Above all, it is a car that epitomises an important era for Peugeot: the period when the brand developed a modern large saloon that would go on to become one of its most iconic and enduring models.
For a lover of 1970s French cars, it is a characterful, spacious and instantly recognisable saloon, offered at a still affordable estimated price.
