I never saw nor heard of a car for "whom" there was so much love and respect in the HEARTS of owners,mechanics and the public at large as for the Peugeot 504!Even the govt of Kenya was in love;cabinet,armed forces,police..!& bank robbers...When the imbecile Marshalls E.Af LTD halted local assembly in spite of purchase orders(& motor tax reductions!!!) from even the govt there was an public outcry.PEUGEOT said it sacked them for incompetence while to save face they said they quit.We still mourn.
the Europe:1968-1983 Argentina: 1969-1999 China: 1979-1997 Nigeria: 1968-2005 Kenya: 1968-2004 Peugeot 504 was assembled in Sochaux, France Canton, China Los Andes, Chile Buenos Aires, Argentina Kaduna, Nigeria Mombasa, Kenya Thames, New Zealand Melbourne, Australia La Marsa, Tunisia
I lived in Nigeria for 8 years and they were still assembling this car and I have nothing but respect for this workhorse. It put up with very bad roads, fuel with more water in it than anything else and generic motor oil sold in Coca Cola bottles. I've seen it do things that would give a Range Rover nightmares. Not to mention a smooth ride and an A/C that could give you frostbite. It's simplicity also made it very easy to maintain. An all round good car.
@armand1280 YES, IS A VERY PRACTICE AN STRONG CAR, BUT IS NOT THE BEST CAR, MAYBE MERCEDES W123 IS ONE OF THE BEST CAR IN THE HISTORY. IS A TANKCAR AND VERY BEATUTIFUL AND LUXURY.
WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? I FROM ARGENTINA, MY ENGLISH IS VERY POOR.
@TheNICKMAGIC You're right about that model of Mercedes. It was also very common in Nigeria and shared similar strengths. The Mercedes was very refined compared to the 504. I used to say that the W123 was like driving down the road in an indestructable, yet comfy, sofa. And don't worry about your English. It's not bad for a second language.

My dad just bought a 60s model 504 to repair. It took 4 people to get it started, but once it was started, it went really well, and I was amazed at how smooth they are to ride it. I absolutely love dad's new 504!
@KiBETChannel ...My father had one while we lived in Kenya in the 80s. I remember the car had a surprising smooth ride....no heavy jarring or banging over relatively bad tarmac at times.
Que lastima que a ca en Argentina el 504 coupe y cabrio no se llego a comercializar masivamente como los demas 504, la verdad que estos autos son un caño.
Muy poco video para tan poco auto. El 504 es un fierro y una joya por donde lo miren. Sin embargo, creo que se merece un homenaje de mejor calidad. Solo una estrella
Yes bro.Agreed.I`d love to have a cx too.I just can`t decide,GTI or Prestige.(or an R12 Gordini..)At the moment i`m drivin a 406,quite like it,but i`m trying to find a Renault Safrane.V6 of course..
@Weigelfilm A very good car and almost unbreakable ..My mate tried to blow the engine up in a temper ...over a money matter ..He lodged a piece of wood under the accelerator pedal outside a nightclub in the eighties ...he had two sets of keys and locked it leaving it to rev ..it screamed away until it ran out of petrol and this was a high mileage car ....He drove it home the next morning and i was in shock to see it....great car......
i drove this car back in Indonesia and rear ended a stopped truck at 80 kmh,destroyed the peugeot but i'm still here ,whats wrong with the safety rating?
@korranda Seriously.....the car was born in 1968 not 2008. Was a tough as an Ox and mobilised Africa. It was nick named "King of the road". So your comment about safety ratings are pretty much pointless. If it's structural integrity was so bad it would not have become the world car it's so famous for being.
i was born and raised in Egypt, very glad to see this car on video like this, these cars are very respected in egypt, it reminds me of my childhood, they were used as passenger and comercial ,drivers used em as taxi and for long travels because they run and withstand the egyptian deserts heat , the 504 is very common to my eyes and i been in them in taxis in the late 1980th and as far as 1999, i dont think the new ones will be as great as the older ones,

Not as stylish as the Citroen DS, but much more sturdy and relyable and just as comfortable.

If you wanted French you could also have the Citroen CX, okay it was not always relayable, but my favorit.
Or the Renault 12.
My list would be 1 Citroen CX, 2 Renault 12, 3 Peugeot 504.
I think the 405 is together with the 205 most importand cars for Peugeot EVVER.
These 2 cars saved the brand in a bad time.
