Why it matters

The 504 Cabriolet was the open version of Pininfarina's Peugeot 504 coupe, a four-seat cabriolet derived from the saloon but with its own much more flattering body. It was built for 14 years, mostly with four-cylinder engines and in a few with the PRV V6.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The 504 Coupe and Cabriolet were presented at the 1969 Geneva salon. A September 1981 facelift gave a new dashboard with a high visor and five dials. The French guide lists the following cabriolets: 5,848 four-cylinder manual, 1,071 four-cylinder five-speed, 292 four-cylinder automatic and 977 V6 cars. Pininfarina also proposed a "Riviera" shooting-brake coupe which Peugeot left as a prototype.

Engine choices were 1.8-litre and 2.0-litre injection four-cylinders and a 2.7-litre carburettor V6, with four-speed or five-speed manual and automatic gearboxes. Spotting points are the front ventilated discs and rear drums, 165/70 HR 13 tyres, TRX-style alloy wheels, and the Series 2 body with the 1981 dashboard.
