YES indeed I love both of ma 504s. Having a ford escort MK2 1971 but even my
74' 504 is far beyond from the ford in technology means. i really don't know
why but ford has 4 drum type breaks without any break assistant and its all
you have to workout very hard to drive the vehicle. needless to say that
I've restored the car with mechanical overhaul. but this 504's they are far
beyond in technology means and still I drive 'em and be par with fancy new
cars on the daily traffic.

I'd have to say that no other make of car, or in fact ANY other piece of
mechanical equipment, has instilled the amount of passion in me that my
Peugeots have.
I've had many over the years, and it's hard to imagine a time when I won't
have one. It's definitely not just me, nor is it limited to us here on this
list; It's CONTAGIOUS!
I've convinced countless friends to pick up a Peugeot, and I was never
really trying!
I recently played back a video a friend of mine shot while we were driving
in a 504 over 20 years ago, I was embarrassed to hear myself gloating over
the suspension to him on tape. Do we really sound like that to our
passengers?!? :-)
