This is a 504 Commerciale, low-spec utilty wagon only built for few years in the middle of the seventies. Special grille, dashboard and trunk without garnisment identify it. This 1973 Peugeot 504 Break looks good and retains its original paint. The car was stored away in a garage for 10 years, but by the looks of things, even when it was being regularly used it was likely parked indoors.
Despite a few small problem areas, maroon paint still looks good… with a deep gloss. A couple of small nicks can be seen near the nose, and some corrosion is evident just under the rear window on the hatch. Bumpers show a few scuffs along with some minor fading, but have held their shape. Factory steel wheels have some minor pitting, but the center caps remain bright and blemish free.
The inside bits look just as good as the exterior. Tan seats and door panels show nicely with no rips, discoloration, or sagging material, and the rubber flooring is still in good shape too. The dash is also free of cracks, and the gauge pack looks clear and legible. A column shifter is always cool, especially in a big old French wagon.
Once the rear seat is folded, there’s more than ample cargo capacity available. The bare floors look unused, and another photo shows the all-white headliner appearing practically new. Check out the big, chunky taillights and interesting tailgate support mechanism.
The engine bay shows a definite patina, and the car will likely need new hoses, a battery, and fluids at a bare minimum. Three different diesels were offered in the 504 over the years, but this one should be the 2.0 liter version rated at a modest 53 HP. 53k kilometers are recorded on the odometer.
These cars were known for their durability in harsh environments like sub-Saharan Africa.
