The 1963 Peugeot 404 Convertible is an elegant example of 1960s French car design, designed by the renowned Italian design house Pininfarina. Introduced in 1960 as the successor to the successful Peugeot 403, the 404 series quickly became one of the brand's most popular models. The convertible version, launched in 1961, stood out for its refined lines, stylish details and open driving pleasure, making it a popular choice for fans of elegant yet accessible convertibles.

This particular example from 1963 is a Peugeot 404 Cabriolet, a model of which only 10,389 were produced at the time. Today, the number of remaining convertibles is limited, making this car a rare sight on the roads and a sought-after classic among collectors. The combination of its stylish Pininfarina design and solid French engineering ensures that the 404 Convertible is still appreciated for its elegant appearance and pleasant handling.

Under the hood, the 404 typically features a reliable four-cylinder engine mated to a manual transmission, which at the time was praised for its smooth performance and solidity. This example starts, but has been idle for some time. To ensure driving enjoyment and reliability, a service is recommended before the car returns to active driving. For fans of classic French cars, this offers a great opportunity to bring the car into good condition and enjoy open drives again to the fullest.

The 404 Convertible is known for its comfortable ride, thanks in part to its advanced suspension for its time and spacious interior. Its easy handling, combined with its timeless appearance, makes it a charming classic that lends itself perfectly to summer drives and participation in classic rallies or tours. The convertible roof is easy to operate, making the car effortlessly adapt to changing weather conditions.

With its elegant lines, rarity and pleasant driving characteristics, this 1963 Peugeot 404 Convertible is an attractive choice for collectors and classic convertible enthusiasts alike.
