Pops bought a four door Pug in 1959 ?304? maybe .

It was an amazing car, took a horrible beating and never left us afoot, held up to four or five New England Winters well, finally the firewall got rusty and that was that .

In 1967 he gray marketed a 404 wagon, another fine car (stick shift) that rode better than a Caddy and got great fuel economy . the engine died because my sister ran it out of oil on the New York Turnpike, then junked it .

In 1971 he bought my step mother a FWD wagon, I don't recall what series, it wasn't a fine car but trouble free at least and *very* comfy .

In 1973 I got a jog Mechanicing at an Indie Peugeot garage, we had 12 bays or so and two older French brothers ran the place, it turns out the Peugeots, like every French car, are different because, well because the French don't care how anyone else does anything, learn how their cars work and repair them that way and BINGO ! great cars .

As mentioned, the seats are amazing .

I had a 1976 505 (?) for a short time, sold it cheaply to two Mexican sisters who loved it for the five years it lasted them in spite of no one knowing how to service it .

French cars are weird ~ if you can understand them (good luck) they're pretty good .
