Car articles about Peugeot 403 C by year
The Peugeot 403 was considered to be a rock-solid car, but its body was already a little outdated at the beginning of the 1960s. With the 404, a successor was launched in 1960 that fitted better into the new decade, both technically and visually. The modified chassis, the optimized four-cylinder engine and the attractive trapezoidal body were not the only selling points of the French saloon. This article reproduces a test report from the spring of 1961 and shows the Peugeot 404 in extensive photo and sales material from that time.
At the end of 1962, the magazine 'hobby' carried out a major comparative test with eleven saloons from Germany, France, England and Italy. In a tough competition, hot-blooded family sports cars had to be compared with utility saloons designed for comfort. The fact that a German representative won was not a matter of course, as places 2 to 4 went to "foreign countries". This article reproduces the original wording of the report at the time and shows all eleven sedans compared in many archive photos.
A few years ago, they were still often seen in everyday traffic, but soon they were only seen at classic car meetings. The Peugeot 403 was built in various versions from 1955 to 1966 and, despite its conservative design, also offered innovative features such as a diesel engine and an automatic clutch. As the antipode to the Citroën DS, it was the right car for people who simply wanted a pleasant car. This driving report is about a Peugeot 403 BD from 1965 with a diesel engine, tells the story of the model series and shows the cars in current and historical photos as well as in the sales documents from back then.
