    2. The catalogs

    Be happy my friends! I'll provide you here with the scans of the 504 catalogs that I own... For now i only have french ones, but if you don't speak french, you still have some very nice 504 photos!! ;-))
    And, as usual, if you have some catalogs that you can scan and send me, guess who's going to be VERY happy, hmm??

    The last page contains the technical descritption on which I did a caracter recognition, so you can read it on Word (28Ko) and PDF(91Ko) formats.

    3. The printed commercial ads

    Yes, of course, Peugeot had to do some advertising on th e504, despite the evident qualities of the car! Here are some samples I could find in my magazines or on the web... By the way, the quality isn't always too good, especially for the ones I found on the web, so if it happens that you have one of these ads that you could send me with a better definition, don't hesitate!!
