Forgotten Slovenian Peugeot 504 Rescued, Put Back On Road

We're getting more DOTS Bonus Edition stuff from Yurp these days, which gives us just that much more opportunity to see Peugeot 504s in their native habitat. Nicjasno, from the Slovenian city of Maribor, has photographed his family's 504, which was found sitting abandoned in the weeds near a Peugeot dealer and brought back to life. The new paint job looks nice, and we even get a bonus vintage Benz; make the jump for Nicjasno's story.

Want a Brand New Peugeot 504? Head To Nigeria!

Supposedly the last of the African 504s was built a few years ago... yet the Peugeot Nigeria website still offers the 504 Configurator. You don't have a lot of options (though you can get a wagon), but it's a genuine late-60s-technology 504 that we must assume is built way better than the citrus-flavored examples that were shipped to North America back in the day. And the price? About $25,000 if you're showing up with dollars. Thanks to Franzouse for the tip! [Peugeot Nigeria]

The Peugeot 504: You Know You Want One

Even though I've owned a Malaise Peugeot 504 and occasionally wake up screaming with Peugeot Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PPTSD), I'm on board with the official pro-504 Jalopnik position. Any car that can be fixed by a Senegalese mechanic equipped with 15% of a Taiwanese socket set and a big hammer is OK in our book, and the 4x4 pickup truck version just makes it that much better. That's why it made our day when arch-tipster Franzouse sent us the Dangel Sales Brochure (warning: 2.5MB PDF download). When you're done reading that, be sure to check out the rest of the 504 Pr0n at the 504.org site. [504.org]

1976 Peugeot 504 Wonders How It Came To This


While we don't see many French cars still on the North American streets, they do show up every so often at junkyards; we saw a '69 Renault 16 not long ago, and I stopped by the same junkyard last weekend and found this '76 Peugeot 504. The 504 is the only French car I've ever actually driven and worked on for any amount of time, and I recall thinking it was a very pleasant car to drive, when it ran... which was seldom. Most of my quality time with my Peugeot was spent staring at befuddlement at some broken mechanical device apparently designed in a parallel universe where every facet of automotive engineering diverged from our present course in about 1920. But it had factory 8-track, and you can't ask for more than that! Make the jump for Gallery #2.
