Peugeot 404   SOLD

The Peugeot 404 is a large - having European standards in mind - family car produced by French manufacturer Peugeot from 1960 to 1975. The pickup version was marketed until 1988.

Styled by Pininfarina, the Peugeot 404 was offered initially as a saloon, station wagon, and pickup. A handsome, upmarket convertible was added in 1962, and a coupé in 1963.

The 404 was fitted with a 1.6-litre gazoline engine, with either a single Solex downdraft carburetor or a Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection. The engine was canted over at 45 degrees, allowing for a lower hood line.

A 1.9-litre diesel engine Indenor was available as an option. A modified coupé broke in June 1965 at Montlhéry several world records, demonstrating the reliability and performance offered by Peugeot diesel engines.
