cabriolet

[edit]

The V6 cabriolet production is a big mystery here, we owned an late '80 504 cabriolet in 1989, the plastic body color painted bumper US version, I need to update the Cabriolet content here, it was sold in the US and some EU dealers, under the pininfarina batched Peugeot cars, not as 504 model. When did they stopped producing the fancy cabriolet models ? V6 after 1971 ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A452:7D4C:1:ECB2:CFBC:1998:E3B3 (talk) 22:25, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The V6 engine was phased out of the Cabriolet in 1977, in 1983 production stopped. The Peugeot 504 Monte Carlo Cabriolet was their last model, the 2-litre injection engine got a five-speed gearbox, the model we owned was not the V6 model ? 2A02:A452:7D4C:1:ECB2:CFBC:1998:E3B3 (talk) 22:38, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]


1971 section

[edit]

this section does not contain anything really which is specific to 1971. Most of the info here could best go in the following paragraph.

I can't find any evidence that the 504 remains available in kenya.

If no-one objects, I will remove this reference and alter the 1971 section, in a couple of days time. Myredroom (talk) 13:20, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peugeot Kenya or Nigeria still list the car in their website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.239.133.183 (talk) 20:36, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The 504 is no longer sold in Kenya. In fact, Peugeots are no longer sold in Kenya. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.215.122.19 (talk) 20:09, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

technical section === disk brakes and independant rear suspension =

[edit]

"live axe": the 504 was launched with 4 independent suspensions and 4 disk brakes for the sedan (Peugeot was heavyly criticized for having used a live axle in the 404), and live axle with rear drum brakes for the SW and pick-up. The slowest variants of the sedan (1.8 litre or diesel) where then downgraded to live axle and rear drum brakes(low-cost 504s) but it has never been used in the coupé, the convertible or the fuel-injected sedan: those always kept the 4 independent suspensions and the 4 disk brakes too.212.234.248.226 (talk) 15:18, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assembly/production of the 504 (and other models) was also carried out by the SIGMA Motor Corporation in Natalspruit (outside Johannesburg) and another of its plants in Pretoria (Silverton) for the South African market, in which it enjoyed great sucess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.229.187.168 (talk) 18:09, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

film appearances

[edit]

This car was prominently displayed in the 2005 film "The squid and the whale". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.117.49.168 (talk) 04:31, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A 504 coupe was featured in the opening credits of a British TV stand-up comedy show, being driven by Jack Dee. Mr Larrington (talk) 13:18, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Number of examples left

[edit]

Is it beneficial to list the number of examples left in any particular country? Perhaps if there was a notable UK owners club, but I'm struggling with the necessity for including numbers existing for the UK only in this article as it stands without anything in terms of notability of the existing cars to support it (maybe if Ahmedinajad's car was one of them?). It's also unclear whether the number quoted on MSN includes the truck, which was common long after the car. However, I'm not making a general point about car articles, because every car/article is different, just this particular edit. Wikiwayman (talk) 12:37, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Market Segment

[edit]

A recent mobile editor changed the market segment in the infobox from D to E. I changed it back for the following reasons, but please feel free to discuss:

  • In it's home market, this car was designed to appeal to a wide proportion of the market, not a profitable niche.
  • It wasn't equipped to the same level as the Renault_20/30, Citroën_CX, or the concurrent Peugeot_604, which would better fit the description of entry-level executive cars. The BMW E12 (current equivalent is used as an example in the E-segment article) was compared with the 604 and Jaguar XJ6 by Motor in 1978 (see the E12 article), so again, the 504 was regarded at the time as being in a different market segment from the E segment examples.
  • It is not a similar car to compact luxury cars of the time, such as the Triumph Dolomite or BMW 02 Series.
  • The V6 engine was only used in the 504 coupé, not in the saloon versions.
  • A pick-up truck version was made, underlying the intention of wide appeal, i.e., the intention was not to profit from a narrow sector at the top end of the market.

I do agree on the segment changes, but on launch its positions was higher rated then the segment of owners driving it. Disc brakes, independent axes, shocks, on higher levels then German brands in the segment. You trust old magazines ? 2A02:A452:7D4C:1:ECB2:CFBC:1998:E3B3 (talk) 22:50, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I trust old magazines, yes. And most certainly I trust them more than my fellow internet writers. See WP:RS and WP:OR.  Mr.choppers | ✎  01:08, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
