The press launch which had been scheduled for June 1968 was at the last minute deferred by three months, and production got off to a similarly delayed start because of the political and industrial disruption which exploded across the country in May 1968.[2] The 504 was a sunroof-equipped four-door saloon, introduced with a carburated 1796 cc four-cylinder petrol engine 97 bhp (72 kW; 98 PS)with optional fuel injection and 82 bhp (61 kW; 83 PS) . A column-mounted four-speed manual transmission was standard, a 3-speed ZF 3HP22 automatic available as an upgrade. [edit] 1969 The 504 was European Car of the Year in 1969, praised for its styling, quality, chassis, ride, visibility, strong engine and refinement. The 504 Injection two-door coupé and two-door cabriolet were introduced at the Salon de Geneva in March 1969.[3] The engine produced the same 97 bhp (72 kW; 98 PS) of output as in the fuel injected saloon, but the final drive ratio was slightly revised to give a slightly higher road speed of 20.6 mph (33.2 km/h) at 1,000 rpm.[3] Available models: 504 4-door saloon 504 Injection 4-door saloon 504 Injection 2-door coupé 504 Injection 2-door cabriolet [edit] 1970 The 504 received a new four-cylinder 1971 cc engine, rated at 93 bhp (carburated) and 104 bhp (fuel injected), and a four-cylinder 2112 cc diesel rated at 65 bhp (48 kW; 66 PS). The 1796 cc engine remained available. In September 1970 an estate was added, featuring a higher rear roof and solid rear axle with four coil springs. It was joined by the 7-seat "Familiale", which had all its occupants facing forward in three rows of seats.

It featured a live rear axle, 1796 cc engine rated at 96 bhp (81 bhp for Automatic). At the Paris Motor Show of October 1976 the option of an enlarged diesel engine was introduced. The stroke of 83 mm (3.3 in) remained the same as that of the existing 1948 cc diesel motor, but for the larger engine the bore was increased to 94 mm (3.7 in), giving an overall 2112 cc along with an increase in claimed power output from 59 bhp (44 kW; 60 PS) to 70 bhp.[4] This diesel engine would also find its way into the Ford Granada since Ford did not at the time produce a sufficient volume of diesel sedans in this class to justify the development of their own diesel engine. Peugeot 504 production in Europe was pruned back in 1979 with the launch of the Peugeot 505, and the last European example rolled off the production line in 1983, although the pick up version continued in production, and was available in Europe until 1993. Chinese production of the 504 pick up (more information below) only ceased in 2009. The 505 shared most of the Peugeot 504 mechanical parts, similarly to the Peugeot 604 and Talbot Tagora.[citation needed] More than three million 504s were produced in Europe, ending in 1983. Manufacturing continued in Nigeria and Kenya until 2006, utilising the Peugeot knock down kits. Kenya production was 27,000 units. Egypt had its own production facilities. The car was assembled in various countries, under license of Peugeot. In Australia it was assembled by Peugeot's arch-rival Renault, and sold through Renault Australia's dealer network. The Peugeot 504 is also one of the most common vehicles employed as a bush taxi in Africa. In China, the 504 was produced until 2009 in pick up form, with a four-door crew cab combination fitted, on an extended estate platform. The Peugeot 504 was also produced in Argentina until 2002, and later models were slightly restyled at the front and rear, with the lamps and bumpers changing design. The cars were also given a new interior. The French company Dangel also produced Peugeot approved four-wheel drive estate (station wagon) and pickup models. Its engines and suspension were used in later models of the Paykan, the Iranian version of the Hillman Hunter. [edit] Mechanical configuration The car was rear wheel drive, with longitudinally-mounted engines, canted over to bring a lower bonnet line to the styling. Manual or Automatic transmission was offered. The suspension system consisted of MacPherson struts and coil springs at the front and with either semi-trailing arms with coil springs or coil springs and live axle at the rear. The station wagon and pickup versions were available with a live axle. The car used disc brakes at the front, and either disc brakes or drum brakes at the rear, depending on the model. The steering was a rack and pinion system. Huge suspension travel, and great strength, meant that the 504 was suited to rough road conditions, and the car proved extremely reliable in conditions found in Africa, Asia, Australia and the like. The Peugeot 504 was widely available with diesel engines and an automatic transmission option, which was a rare combination at the time. Engines were of the Indenor design and included 1948 cc, 2112 cc, and a 2304 cc. The Indenor engine was also used in the Peugeot 403, Peugeot 404, Peugeot 505, Peugeot 604, Peugeot J7, Peugeot J9, Peugeot P4, Ford Sierra, Ford Granada, Talbot Tagora, Mahindra Jeep, Leyland Daf 400, Cournil 4x4, UMM 4x4, UMM 4x4 Cournil, Belgian-assembled Scaldia-Volga M21,M22, M24D (GAZ-21, GAZ-24) and for marine application. There were two petrol engines available in Europe, a 1796 cc and 1971 cc. The latter was also available with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection, first available on the earlier Peugeot 404. Gearboxes were either the BA7, four-speed manual or ZF three-speed automatic. Later pickup trucks in Europe gained a fifth gear. Export market vehicles had different variations available. Starting 1980, a sporty version of the 504 was available, it had a 1997 cc engine rated at 128 hp (95 kW) and mated to the regular gearboxes. It had a live axle and adjustable suspension. Very few were produced. 504 saloon Peugeot 504 Break 504 cabriolet 504 coupé 5Peugeot 504 Cabriolet Peugeot 504 rallyes africains Peugeot 504 truck [edit] Film appearances Please help improve this article by expanding it. Further information might be found on the talk page. (December 2009) Two black Peugeot 504 saloons were driven by henchmen of James Bond villain Aristotle Kristatos in the 1981 film For Your Eyes Only, as they pursued Bond (played by Roger Moore) along roads in the Greek highlands (Greece standing in as Spain in this particular scene), only for both of their cars to be written off as Bond made a remarkable escape in a yellow Citroen 2CV. The first 504 was totalled after rolling down an embankment and overturning onto its roof, while the second became trapped in a tree after overshooting another embankment. [1] A white Peugoet 504 saloon appeared in a Bollywood film Amar Akbar Anthony, featuring Vinod Khanna driving it. In the film The Wilby Conspiracy, starring Michael Caine and Sidney Poitier, both the Peugeot 404 and the automatic 504 cars feature extensively, as the two main characters drive across South Africa to escape from the Secret Police. The Australian film Families, a comedy drama made in 1985, features a Peugeot 504 seen in several scenes being driven through the bush, with the characters suffering a puncture en-route as well as a Peugeot 505 family estate car. A midnight blue 504 makes several appearances in Noah Baumbach's 2005 movie The Squid and the Whale. A white 504 is the car of professor Rainer Wenger, the starring of The Wave, a 2008 German movie. [edit] Politics In November 2010. Iranian state television announced Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was to auction off his 1977 Peugeot 504 to raise money for charity. The money earned from the sale at international auction is to be donated to the Mehr housing project, a network of cooperatives that provides affordable housing for low-income families.[5] [edit] Footnotes ^ "GRAND FOUNDRY & ENGINEERING WORKS LIMITED". grandfoundry. http://www.grandfoundry.com/.
