Peugeot 504, licence cars yall!
Peugeot 504 was quite the sensation in Norway during the '70s and '80s. They were rollin' off the production line and onto the streets of Europe and Norway from 1968 to 1983. Now, I reckon I saw my fair share of rusty and worn-out Peugeot 504s cruisin' around Norway in the '90s, but come 2000, they were as scarce as hen's teeth.
Down in Argentina, they kept the production pedal to the metal with the Peugeot 504 all the way up to '99, sportin' some extra slick designs and a rear end that'll make ya whistle Dixie.
Over yonder in Kenya and Nigeria, they kept the assembly line humming until at least 2007. Supposedly, the Norwegian police snagged themselves some Peugeot 504s back in the '70s, and those were the only wheels the cops had at the time. So if you found yourself in a pickle on the late '70s highways, you'd breathe a sigh of relief if it was the trusty ol' Volvo or Beetle on your tail, and not that fancy new Peugeot 504!
Now, the reason for that is because unlike them Volvos the cops were wheelin' back then, the Peugeot had front-wheel drive and handled like a dream compared to them solid but clunky Volvos and Beetles with engines smaller than a hiccup.
The Peugeot 504's superior handling compared to those sorry excuses for cars the cops had was even mocked in a James Bond flick from '81. In that one, our very own Agent 007, on a mission in India, gets chased down by some real nutty mafia terrorists in black Peugeot 504s, while ol' James Bond himself is stuck drivin' nothin' but an old yellow Citroen 2CV (a car I've yapped about in a previous blog post, mind you).
Nowadays, you can special-import newer Peugeot 504s from Africa and the South. Perhaps the most exciting bit is importin' that Latin/Argentinian edition. And if you're feelin' fancy, you can spruce 'em up with some extra cool styling, especially them African editions. But truth be told, them Argentinian 504s are already tricked out right from the factory.
One of my neighbors just got themselves a Peugeot 504 vintage ride, and I reckon that's pretty cool. But it ain't nothin' compared to a tricked-out Argentinian 504 from the '90s!
