The years 1968 and ’69 are known as years of social upheaval. It is not for nothing that we speak today of the ’68 generation, which rebelled against the usual role models of society and thereby changed our lives forever. Cars also changed a lot at this time. Not only in terms of design, but also technically. The crankshafts of the engines were given more bearings, brake discs and brake boosters became standard, round headlights gave way to free-form headlights, belt tires and independent suspension became the standard and, last but not least, in 1969 seat belts became mandatory by law and many manufacturers also offered headrests. By 1967, all car manufacturers had converted their vehicles from 6 to 12 volt on-board voltage. The latter was not necessary for Peugeot because it was the first mass manufacturer to convert to 12 volts in 1929. In 1968, the 504 model was introduced and the vehicle had all the innovations mentioned above. The sedan was joined by coupés and convertibles in 1969 and the station wagon models Commerciale, Familiale and Break from 1971. The pick-up was not added until 1979. The 504 combines all the technical achievements of the late 1960s, which made the cars more user-friendly, with the tradition of longevity. With over 3.7 million units, the 504 is one of the most successful vehicles in the upper middle class ever. Although the model was discontinued in France in 1983, with the exception of the pick-up, production continued at other locations and the last 504 was not built in Nigeria until 2005. The exceptional robustness of the cars often gave them a long life in Africa, where most European cars also found their way at some point. Finding a good original 504 is becoming increasingly difficult and the chances are even lower with station wagons.

This 504 Grand Luxe Break is fully documented by the maintenance booklet and various invoices, and its total mileage of 83,012 kilometers is verifiable. The car was registered in 1978 in Montauban, near Toulouse, and remained in first hand until 1989. The second owner was also from Montauban and in 2012 the car came into its third owner, the descendant of a noble family near Bonn. In 2013, an H-report was drawn up at 66,186 kilometers. In 2016, the car came into its fourth owner, a doctor and collector of original Peugeot models in the Lower Rhine region. This doctor has been a good customer of ours for years and since he is getting rid of most of his cars for health reasons, he has given us this fantastic station wagon for sale. The car has not been restored and has not been completely repainted. If you look closely, you can see that the front fenders and the upper part of the tailgate have been repainted. Of the Commerciale, Familiale and Break station wagon models, only the Break had the elegant wood decor lining of the cargo area. With its huge cargo space and the permitted 640 kg payload, the 504 is a great load master – La Grande Arrimeur.
