Photos of 504 in Asia

Syria

504 in Syria

This incredible photo has been taken by my brother Pol in Syria! Waow, this is what I call a real Hit! Could anyone imagine such a 504 would exist in the world??
In Syria, the vehicles with 4 wheels are heavily taxed, while the 3 wheels aren't... The syrian are good mechanists, as it seems, and they quite often transform their 4 wheel cars into 3 wheels...which is a huge transformation!!! I wonder how good the handling is?!?
Thanks for this birthday present, Pol! I feel that I need to add such a 504 to my own collection...


Yemen

504 in Yemen

In Yemen, there are still a lot of 504 break, mainly used as taxis, outside the cities. Here is a good example, with some interesting options, that I let you discover... Very stylish decoration, isn't it ?

China

504 in China

This is yet another hit!!! Look at this pick up closely, and you'll notice that it is a double cabin 504!! This fantastic photo was taken by Norbert Kansy (thanks again!) in China. Norbert is a 504 fan, and he got the excellent reflex to take a photo of this very rare specimen... This double cabin seems to be a local model distributed by Peugeot in China, it is the same base as the usual pickup, except that the loading part has been shortened to fit a 4 door cabin! The rear load-cabin deck is an option.
According to Norbert, "Peugeot sold its chinese factory a year ago to Honda, but you can still see lots of 504 Double Cabins, 505 break and Berline on Chinese roads . . . ". The 504 is a world car, I told you!!

Iran

504 in Iran

Here the red 504 L of Hossein and Mitra, from Iran. The first photo was taken during their honeymoon trip in the north of Iran in 1996, the second was taken in Tehran. Hossein uses his 504 (bought by his father in 1977) everyday. Sure this will last for many more years!!

Indonesia

504 in Indonesia

In Indonesia, there are very few 504, but still, you can find some very interesting examples... Such as this one, in a flashy yellow with green bumpers, and you can also notice the "slick" tires, directly coming for Formula one... Maybe a little bit exagerated ?!

I found this very nice 504 GL while surfing on the web. It belongs to Wanda Setiadi, who visibly likes his car! Dated from 1980, this 504 has been nicely modified : alloy wheels, teinted glasses, right rear mirror, and of course, it has been dropped! I don't know about the engine, so Wanda, if you visit this page, tell me more about your car!

Following his friend Wanda(above), Indarto sends us a picture of his 504 1975, also painted in orange(must be fashionable in Java), 16' alloy wheels, with Renault 18 turbo radiator grille, with extra lights on. Indarto is also member of the Peugeot Club Bandung(west Java), and webmaster of it. He had one precision for every 504 fan: there are a lot in Indonesia. Sounds like an invitation!!!

Boni is living in Malang, East Java, and drives his 504 GLI 1978 every day to go to the office. He is proud to mention that he never had troubles with it although most of the pieces are genuine. I am not surprised still happy for him. I have chosen this picture to say "hello" to this far away friend and his children Io and Anding who really like the car. I am not forgetting Ioni, his beloved wife. A picture of happiness on 504.org.

 

Vietnam

504 in Vietnam

A good friend of mine, Nicolas, went 3 weeks in Asia, and here is the only 504 he met during his trip. In a little village of Vietnam, he saw this very rare example of Vietnamese 504... I thank him for this incredible shot he did for my site!

 

Japan

504 in Japan

Yes! The 504 can also be found in the far east, I mean Japan !!! I found this one on Matsubayashi's site (see my links). Of course, the 504s are very rare in that part of the world, but still, there are some samples !

Jordania

504 in Jordania

This photo was given to me by Priscilla (first beauty on the left). She went to Syria and Jordania with 3 friends, and guess what car they used as a taxi to cross the desert between Aman and Petra??? Of course, a 504 station wagon! Notice the "Petra" written on the door (as a proof...)!



Lebanon

504 in Lebanon

Unfortunately I have no information on the first lebanese 504 placed on my website. I only know that it belongs to Tony, and I sincerely invite him to tell me more about it. In any case thanks for the blue sky and the magnificent sedan with the Peugeot logo on the side.

Pakistan

Yet another country where the 504 did settle its wheels! The nice sample of 504 GL has been sent to me by its owner, XXX.

Thaïland

504 in Thaïland
Once Again, my pal Nicolas has found a tremendous 504 sample for me : direct from the city of Nan, in the province of Nan, located in the north of Thaïland, he spotted this very interesting 504 pick up with a unique rear part! It looks like an american pick up, with full comfort inside. Yet another photo which proves the universality of the 504 !! Thanks again, Nicolas, and keep up the good job for me, I appreciate that !

Peugeot 504 in Thailand

One more time, my pals Marine and Florian (yep, they are o the photo, now they are famous in the 504 world!) have been digging hard during their holidays to spot the 504 GL in a garden of Thailand! They were not lucky enough to meet with the owner, therefore we won't know much more on the 504 from far east, but again, thanks a lot for this succesful quest! And more to come?

Turkiye

504 in Turkiye

This photo was taken in Istambul, where my brother Pol had to change the clutch of his 504... To reach the garage, he first had to tow this 504 with a friend's 505 during 200km... and to cross the entire city of Istanbul! And believe me, driving in Istambul is a terrific experience, but crossing it while towing or being towed is something unbelievable!

504 in Turkiye

Josef from Hagen in Germany is giving us a double ride. One in the time space, the other on the world globe. This picture has been shot in 1976. It shows a 504 convoy in Eastern Turkiye heading to Teheran, Iran. You can find another picture of that trip in the Yugoslavian section, 504 in Europe. Once again, there is no comment to make on the capability of this car. Congratulations for the picture: the atmosphere is amazing.
