Nice to see there is some people caring about those not so old Peugeot...
Even in France, Peugeot 604 are hard to find, for the simple reason they were unsuccessful. People preferred to own a Peugeot 505, a Renault 25, or a Citroën CX. And, of course, Mercedes and Audi cars.
Peugeot build less than 160 000 Peugeot 604 from 1975 to 1985.
Compare with the 505 : 1 350 000 Peugeot 505 from 1979 to 1992
Or with the Citroën CX : 1 160 000 CX from 1974 to 1991...
My Dad had a 504 Diesel, what a great, comfy, smooth, albeit a bit ugly, car. It was so smooth and it seemed to take bumps surprisingly well. I almost wonder if it really was as good a ride as I remember. It had an excellently simple manual sunroof. It got 35 MPG, and loved to go 70, back in the double nickel days. Thanks for reminding me, we did get to drive a few 505's and 604's as well.
@tomtom3245 You ever tried boadring a Renault Clio? The fact is that most french cars are small and I used to hate it because I wouldn't comfortably fit inside.
@tomcatld127 French/European car suspension are different from the American models.
Especially true with cars before the 90's. Peugeot 's suspension were famous for their smoothess on bad roads, dirt roads, and alos to offer a good driving feeling, where Renault focus more on the car use (cheap Renault 4 are comfotable on dirst road, Renault 25 offer a smooth ride on normal road at high speed)
Not mention Citroën, with the hydropneumatic suspension... Or the floppy ones on cheaper models!
Just because the price of the oil. In USA petrol cost nothing compare of Europe. We start to do diesel, because the cost of gasoline was far less than other one.
Major respect for the fattest tent of them all. Gotta luv these babies. Too bad most of these precious rides are all rusted away, these modderfukkers already started rusting when they were in da showroom. Gotta pimp one of these with 14 Daytona rims 4 some 3 wheel motion.
lol elle est pas toute jeune ta voiture essay d en avoir une nouvelle genre peugeot207cc ^^et si tu veu faire du tuning achete une 205 toujour de chez peugeot
I'm glad to see that there are still 604s running around North America! It's sad to think that most of them are gone nowadays. My dad owned not one but two of these gems when I was growing up (an '80 V6 SL auto and a daily driven '79 V6 SL 5spd until 1995!), and I still remember how comfy and roomy they were. In fact, I learned to drive in that '79 when I was 10. I still have a special place in my heart for those cars. Thanks for the vid and I wish you and your 604 many joyful miles to come!
My family owned a 1977 604 v6 in the US for years. I have never driven another car that I enjoyed driving as much as that Peugeot. I would love to have another, but they are now pretty much impossible to find in the US.
You are definitely right Linus504. These are very hard to find and most often, you will see them neglected in a corner and if you don't ask to buy them, most owners just assume nobody wants them and let them rot...
This is my favourite Peugeot of them all. I didn't know it was sold in the States until I saw one in the movie "The driver", with Ryan O'Neal and Bruce Dern.
Christ those seats look in need of a bit of TLC and it would have been nice to have the 604 alloys! I have a Talbot Tagora SX off the road in the garage myself, needing unobtainable spares. The Tagora SX was basically an updated 604 V6.

You betcha it had a comfy ride, you mind isn't playing tricks on you it's just a fact: all French cars are comfortable.
Cars of the 80's were especially comfortable as a matter of fact, 505, 604, 604 coupé, Citroën CX....

Smooth ride and not very precise steering, but nonetheless, an awesome ride!

Thanks for the comment. The driver's seat looks that way mainly from parking in the sun, which made the threads tear along the seams.
However, the legendary Peugeot seat comfort was still there, and if you closed your eyes and sat on it, you would find yourself smiling.
Best and most comfortable car seat I have had the pleasure to use...ever!!!

I used to own a 604 here in Seattle. Black with beige vinyl interior. Loved it... wish I never got rid of it.
