Photos of 504 in America

 

Argentina

504 in Argentina

As you know, the 504 was produced until 1999 in Argentina... And over there, the 504 has been "revamped" several times! For more information you can go on the "the 1999 504" page on ths site... But here, I offer you a large set of photos taken, once again by my wife Violette in 1999.

You can see on these 3 shots the evolution of the back of the argentinian 504. Unfortunately I don't know the years of each revamping... But the differences are huge ! The first one looks like the european one, the second is more US like with ist big bumpers and bigger lights, whereas the 3rd is just the argentinian style, as it was produced in 1999! Which one do you prefer??

Here are 2 front views this time. Many differences can be spotted with the original 504: plastic bumpers, smaller headlights, teinted glasses, plastic rear mirror, lateral protections, etc...

The nice 504 of Mauro, a true fan of the 504! If you need any proof for this assessment, just visit his own web site dedicated to the 504 : http://504.8m.com (spanish only). His 504 is a Ti from 1979, in a very nice shape!!

And here is the nice 504 of Javier, who lives in Buenos Aeres. Notice the over-protective front bumpers, the specific alloy wheels, and the blue "fur" on the seats...

Daniel presents its beautiful 504 1971 which engine is 1600cc for 87 HP. Daniel recalls us that in Argentina, the 504 production started in year 1969 with lighter engines of 1657cc(amazing precision!) and 76 HP(again!). Peugeot increased the power of their cars the year after in 1970... and made Daniel happy!

Only 21 but already owner of a 504. This is Alejandro writing from the federal maintown and studying economy. Notice the sport steering wheel and the US style headlights. Specific mention for the dashboard which seems to be a Jaeger one. Is that correct? No doubt Alejandro is quite successful with its 504, 1970 when saturday nights fever raises in Argentina.

I let Kronoman directly talk about his great 504 : "Here is my car, my father give it to me, was 20 years without run, because my father buy a Dodge Challenger after it, and store the 504 on the garage. It has 50000+/- km real, 1.6 engine, 4 speed on the wheel, is made on the year 1970, my father buy it from the dealer when it was 0 km. The color is Blue Caribe (is the original paint, and the original rubbers too, now I replace it with Goodyear GPS2 for use it on the highway, he still can run! (150/160 km/h aprox)It has all the luxury options [motorola radio, heat, cool, ren interior seats, safety belts, 'techo corredizo' (how say it in english?), etc, but the small engine.I must work on the engine to give more power, maybe put a Hemi 440 engine [the engine from the Dodge, because the Dodge is crashed)?Now it do about 160/170 km/h, because it has a four barrel carburator (Holley) and a little touch on the engine, with double escapeI add the mirrors on the sides and the CD player with 6 amplifiers and other things. I have the manual and all the documentation." Impressive!!!

My friend Tangi, another french 504 addict, found those two recent sedans in two different colors. It was for sale on an argentinian website. Anyone interested?

Ruben sends us this nice picture representing two 504 in a lively street of Argentina. In the shade of the trees, please admire the perfect shape and the pure white alloy wheels of his 504 GL model 1983, which allows a 5 speeds gearbox. Backside gently parked a 504 SL year 1980, 4 speed gearbox but full luxury options such as leather, aircon,etc. All originals. Even the bumpers. And one more time get an eye on the alloy wheels. Aren't they smart?

This exclusiv 504 taxi from Argentina has been shot by Corinna and Dirk from Germany. They are telling me how enthusiastics they are about Peugeots' but their favourite number is the 404. I am not jealous for it is an excellent car also. Brand solidarity put them into shooting this cab for 504.org. Many thanks to this fellow companions for this specific 504 that was missing on the site until their nice move.

 

Mexico

504 in Mexico

This a beautiful 504 photo sent to me by Kevin Bundschuh, a nice canadian visitor owning a... 505 Sti! He shot this 504 in Mazatlan Mexico. Helas, I don't have much more to tell about this 504... anyway, thanks a lot for that shot, Kevin!

 

Haiti

504 in Haiti

During a 1 week stay in Haiti, I only found one 504... but it was a Dangel (4WD)! OK, it was not really in perfect shape, but still, I had found a 504 down there too!!

Dominican Republic

Donald Cott from the Dominican Republic owns a very nice Station Wagon, on which he did quite some work, as he explains : "It's a 1977 504 Station wagon (french version) with the original motor wich is a 1,800cc GL, single carburetor. The car has electric windows, tinted rear glass, 3 rows of seats, air conditioned (installed here), tachimeter, automatic transmission. About the transmission I've changed it about 4 years ago, because of a problem with the case, so I bought a less faster transmission but more powerful so I can go with my boat anywhere without forcing the engine. I made a complete body work with the paint about 4 months ago. This car belonged to my father who bought it new, about 4 years ago I bought from him and since then we go together to every place in this island. I tried to buy a new Peugeot 405 (no comment...), but I found that they present different problems and my car doesn't give me any, so I decided not to buy it and keep my "old buddy" with me!". Next step will be a complete overhaul, so we can be sure that this 504 will run for a long time!!

 

Chile

504 in Chile

Rodrigo, who lives in Chile, wrote me in march 2021 and presented me his beloved 504 2000 SE, produced in 1980. You can see that this 504 has traveled quite a bit across Chile, and it's still up and running every day!
But the best it to let Roberto present his 504 himself as he did in his email :
"Hi Jeff. Your website was very important to repair the engine of my 504. I changed pistons, bearings, gaskets, valves, etc etc. My car is a gasoline 2000 SE, 1980. It´s an Argentinian car but has a lot of French components. With this car I made weekly trips of 300 kms without any problem the last year, and the longest was 1000 km from Viña Del Mar to Capitan Pastene (South of Chile), with sun and rain. Amazing machine.
The 504 was a very common car in Chile and 404 too, all models from 70 to 85. It's very unusual to find cars from 90´s on 504. There?s a few models that are in excellent conditions nowadays.
Now I have to repair the exterior, because I lived three years next tho the sea, and a lot of components were damaged by sea corrosion. But I expect to start restoring it next year! Right now I first have to repair the flywheel... 
Thanks again for your help to keep alive these cars!"
You're welcome Rodrigo, and congrats for the great repairing you've made! :-)

This 504 sedan was taken in Chile by my girlfriend, who is now one of my best photo provider! I didn't notice that many details specific to this Chilian version of the 504... A tainted rear window, 2 additional front lights, a plastic rear mirror : all of these have much likely been added by the owner himself, as a visitor of 504.org did recently confirm to me...

This is yet another photo taken by my wife (now she's my wife and no longer my girlfriend!) in Chile. This SW is in a quite nice shape, and looks very similar to the european ones. It's surprising in some ways that the South American 504s are not similar to the US 504 with the big bumpers...

The guy in blue on the photo was very surprised and even a bit anxious to see that girl (my wife) taking pictures of a 504 in a supermaket parking... He just couldn't stop looking at her until she left, maybe wondering if she was a secret agent or just a crazy nuts! ;-)) Well, she's just a 504.org photo provider, that is much better than being a secret agent!!

One more time, my pal Nicolas, real globe-trotter, has found the impossible path to lead to the only 504 of San Pedro de Atacama, north Chile and at the border of Bolivia. A must! In this nowhereland, the special touch is this nowipers sedan. Certainly a sunny area where the wipers are optionnal. No kidding, great thanks to Nico and if ever the owner is visiting the site, tell us more about it!

Valparaiso, Chile, October 2001: 2 beautiful 504 looking like sisters are creating the atmosphere in this part of the town, and Tangi had the feeling to catch this sedans nap in south america.

 

Quebec

504 in Quebec

Here is a photo from a real 504 fan in Quebec, Jacques Fournier. I believe there aren't that many 504 fans over there, helas! This one is dated 1976, and has 80000 miles, with automatic transmission, electrical windows, sun roof... It has been restored 3 years ago, and repainted at that time with this perfect blue...With a nice "Peugeot" logo on the left, and the white tires, what a style!!

Here is another photo from 1972 504 in Quebec that I found while surfing... If the owner reads this page, please send me some info!!

True story: Laurent has been living in Quebec since july 92. With one of his collegue, they decided to travel across Scandinavia. Luck was round the corner with this beautiful Dangel SW 504 GRD property of the national energy supplier companywho gave it to them. Rare wood inside(acajou), brand new seats, a 5 speed gearbox from a peugeot 505, an extra fan, extra large mirrors from a J5(Peugeot one more time: little truck!) etc. Music inside prevented their ears from the noise, understandable when you know that they have been driving more than 9 000kms across Germany, Sweden, Norway, up to the North Cape where the earth finishes. The pictures were taken from that spot. Laurent and his pal met a few french people up there and because it was rainning, landscaping was off. Our adventurers decided to drink "pastis" with their new friends under the blue wing of this incredible 504. Congratulations!

Alaska

504 in Alaska

Unluckily, the quality of this photo sent by Jerry Bauer from Alaska isn't so good... But you can still imagine the kind of road Jerry had to go trhough with his 1976 504 Break Diesel!! Looks like he's rallying!
And this is yet one more country where you can find some 504s!! Thanks Jerry!

 

Uruguay

504 in Uruguay

Let Pedro inaugurate this Uruguayian section presenting his 504 1988 Diesel. Pedro tells us that in this part of the world 504 is quite numerous and considered as "the family car". So I hope that all the brothers and siters, cousins and grand-parents of Pedro's are all going to send us some cool pictures of 504 like his.


United States

Here are some of the remaining 504 in the US, exported there when Peugeot was trying to get a part of this enormous market. The succes was not very satisfying, and Peugeot withdrawed from the US market after having launched the 505, and a few 405.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't like at all the big plastic bumpers that the US legislation forced Peugeot to place on the 504, but I have to admit that the blue 504 below (courtesy of his owner S. Racki) is definitly very nice. Regarding the double headlights, well, I don't hate them, it changes a lot the look of the car, but why not??

504 in USA This is an extremely nice picture of Ari's 504. He didn't give me much information on his 504, but as you can all state, it looks in perfect shape! Plus the blue sky and the nice beach area, this is just a perfect shot!

French Revolution Cars is another US garage specialised in all french cars... They seem to restore 504s in a very nice way, as these photos I found on their website tends to prove it! See the links to get their address if you wish!

This is a 504 I found in San Francisco! I hadn't seen many 504s in the US, where I was for 2 weeks, and of course, when I saw this one, I stoppped at once!! As I was taking my pictures, the owner came to me... trying to know why the hell I was taking photos from a 504??
This very nice african guy originary from Cameroon was restoring the complete body of his 504, and was about to finish it with a new painting. I'd really like to see the final result!

I hardly see such beautiful SW 504 in the pictures I am sent. I must admit this one is terrific, perfect shape, nice specifications, cute spot, there is only one word: genuine! Peter from Philadelphia is the happy owner of this 4 speed diesel 504. I am wondering what kind of use you have of it, dear Pete? Its condition seems so good, you certainly can do a lot of thing with it for maximum pleasure. Congratulations.

Matt's little present: a french car dressed in its national colours. The gift is coming from New Jersey and I deeply appreciate that this website and the 504 becomes such a link between so many people! To be less serious, this car is certainly a champs car, that is to say not for our football team this year... but more for the US one!
