Italians do it better.

In Iran, I got super pumped to spot a RWD 405 (a bastard child of a Peugeot of the late 80's, originally FWD, and a Hillman Hunter from 20 years prior), which the ever-quirky Iranian automotive industry produced for a few years.

Yummy

...aand e-tron still means t-urd in French. Not that anybody cares.

And incredibly sturdy. Mine was still pulling strong at 406,000 km, only rust killed it in the end. Years later, 18 diesels were Moroccan taxis cars of choice in Southern desert towns.

Peugeot 504 wagon. Ooh la la, unique and je ne sais quoi. Comes in broken flavors. Begs for a SBC swap. Or its follow-up, the 505 SW8.

Renault Trafic

Chevy Cobalt. The only car I really felt unsafe driving (it was then a new rental), and I drove a bunch of heaps.

The year was 1993 and I was a trainee at a then-prominent French car monthly. My stint included a full weekend at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The exhaust noises, the race gas smell, a sleepless night in the pits (security was a bit lax back in the day) made for an unforgettable experience. And the Peugeots won.

The Peugeot 205 Junior had denim-style seats.

As a French upper middle class family we had many Peugeot and Renault large sedans as but in hindsight this holiday car takes the cake. Peugeot 404 pickup, with custom, home made living quarters (mostly out of plywood), not unlike this one whose pic I grabbed online. We traveled from France to Greece and Morocco in…

Nope, it’s actually a G-Wagen with Peugeot 504/505 sourced engines . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_P4

Wow, great story! I drive this, which might explain why the 604 bumpers came to my mind.

“Of all time” is relative. Peugeot 604, US-spec.

Diesel bells, diesel all the way

My US-spec 504. Certainly one of the very few on French soil. Even Peugeot don’t have one in their vault. Most folks here have no idea that this landmark gallic sedan was once sold in the US of A.
