- Peugeot 504 Cabrio were styled by Franco Martinengo at Pininfarina, with sketches produced in-house at Peugeot.
The 504 was noted for its robust body structure, long suspension travel, and torque tube drive shaft - enclosed in a rigid tube attached at each end to the gearbox housing and differential casing, relieving drive train torque reactions. The 504 ultimately achieved widespread popularity in far-flung rough-terrain countries - including Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon, Benin, Kenya and Nigeria.[6]
More than three million 504s were manufactured in its European production, with production continuing globally under various licensing arrangements - including 27,000 assembled in Kenya[7] and 425,000 assembled in Nigeria, using knock-down kits - with production extending into 2006.[8][6]
Having debuted as Peugeot's flagship at the 1968 Paris Salon, the 504 received the 1969 European Car of the Year. In 2013, the Los Angeles Times called it "Africa's workhorse."[9] (wikipedia.org)
