My late father was a Peugeot fanatic.The best and most reliable car ever manufactured.

The 504 was my very first car - the car I learned to drive in. When Peugeot was still sold in the United States, my great uncle owned a Peugeot dealership in the San Francisco Bay Area. Sadly, Peugeot pulled out of the U.S. market in 1991. A wonderful brand with a great heritage 🇫🇷

My dad had a dark green Peugeot 504 TI. We went to Italy and France with, it was a wonderful elegant car! 👍

My dad has owned 2 of them and I traveled quite a lot in them. I remember them being very comfortable, pretty good looking and never any break down! An excellent family car!

In the late 60s I was amazed when I saw the first 504. My uncle bought one in the 70s. I bought mine in the mid 80s. Currently I have a collection of the following Peugeot cars Peugeot 504 saloon Peugeot 504 pick up Peugeot 505 saloon Peugeot 505 pick up Peugeot 404 saloon. They are very attractive to people who visit my home I am a Tanzanian living in Kilimanjaro.

Yes, my father owned one in the United States and two in Nigeria. I miss being driven in that car. Now, I want to buy one. I have been searching for over ten years. I might have to visit Nigeria to buy one.

When I was a kid around 10 years old in the early to mid-1980s, after we had left Germany for the Middle East, I asked my father why he kept buying Simcas (and later a Talbot, then a 504) instead of just getting a Mercedes-Benz. "In time, you're going to appreciate just how much better any Peugeot is than any German car you could think of." Today, in 2024, when I'm already past 50, my daily driver is an air-conditioned Peugeot 504 Familiale with a five-speed. And this is after I had owned multiple Mercedes-Benzes - and experienced first-hand just how terrible to drive, expensive to maintain, and involved to keep on the road they really were. Never again. My backup vehicle is a 1991 Toyota Cressida station wagon (or a Break, as the French would call it.)

I had one for many years, a long time ago 🙂

My both grandpas owned peugeot 504, and my father too. This car is legendary, but unfortunately, after the death of my grandpa (on my father side) in 1981, the car was sold. And after the death of my grandpa (on my mother side) in 1986, the car is put in a museum. And the car that was owned by my father, was sold too in 1992, and then, my father bought a Renault Super 5 (from France)

The Peurgot 404, the model before this, was called the car that colonised Africa. Reliable and lasted forever. The 504 took over from it and there are probably lots still going strong in Africa and elsewhere

How time flies 😮

Oh memories ❤❤❤

They didn't get anywhere near the respect they deserved. In Australia it was all about Fords and Holdens. Whilst they had a nice powerful engine they were cars that had a very short life compared to pretty much everything. In the 90s our 1979 Peugeot was still going strong whilst all the Fords and Holdens of that vintage were absolute wrecks. But I think Top Gear is right, the French usually can't be bothered making a globally well liked car. Looks like you've got more than enough going on.

Because in the mid seventies there were not much cars with diesel engine and peugeot had reliable engines and was less expensif than MB.My dad had a 75 1.9 diesel and a 79 2.1diesel

Yes my dad drive

Yes, have a picture of me sitting in a baby seat, in a red 504.

I owned a 1972 gasoline sedan and a 1975 diesel station wagon. My Dad owned a 1974 diesel station wagon. I feel that these were the last real Peugeots, the later ones were flimsy and unreliable by comparison.

If you are going to put this video to air, at least get the spelling of Peugeot right and also pronounce the name correctly.

Poo Joe?
