Car articles about Peugeot 204 by year
The Peugeot 204 was actually a very modern car, absolutely in tune with the times. Nevertheless, the first test drivers were somewhat disappointed that it couldn't do things better and at a price that was higher than the competition. This article reproduces an early historical driving report from the launch year and shows the small saloon in historical pictures and in the sales brochure.
The 204 was technically sophisticated, excellently finished and therefore not cheap. In contrast to other front-wheel drive cars, it deliberately avoided stylistic differences. As a "Break" with its harmonious estate rear end, the smallest Peugeot was not only a good deal more elegant than the saloon, but of course also considerably more spacious. This test report was correspondingly enthusiastic in 1966.
Peugeot broke new technical ground in 1965 with the 204 model, but was at least able to benefit from role models. The design was based on the proven partner Pininfarina. The result was convincing both as a saloon and as a coupé/convertible, but was comparatively expensive. The technical innovation still pays off today, because even 50 years later, the two-door coupé still looks modern and practical. This driving report is about an early 204 Coupé from 1968 and shows it in historical pictures, supplemented by a brochure and historical photos.
In 1969, Peugeot presented the 304 model in Paris. Although the car was technically based on the 204 model, it was also intended to replace the somewhat outdated, larger Peugeot 404. The hobby editors wanted to find out in an extensive test whether it could succeed in this. This report reproduces the original text from back then and shows the almost 1.2 million compact front-wheel drive model in historical photographs.
