The 1966 Peugeot 404 Familiale is a fine example of the versatility and solidity the French brand was known for in the 1960s. Introduced in 1960, the Peugeot 404 grew into one of the brand's most successful models, thanks in part to Pininfarina's timeless design. The Familiale variant offered extra space and functionality, making it popular as a family car and for business use. With its distinctive lines, large windows and spacious interior, this 404 still exudes the charm of classic French car design.
This particular 1966 example has driven only 77,000 kilometers, which is exceptionally little for a car of this age. The dark green exterior color forms an elegant combination with the beige fabric interior, which has room for no fewer than three benches. This arrangement made the 404 Familiale one of the roomiest station wagons of its time, ideal for large families or for use as a practical classic. The interior still exudes the authentic atmosphere of the sixties, with classic details and a spacious feeling thanks to the large windows.
The Peugeot 404 Familiale has recently undergone a technical overhaul, making it ready for many new miles. For example, the brakes have been completely overhauled, the clutch has been renewed and new tires have been fitted. In addition, the exhaust has been replaced and the car has undergone a major service. These investments ensure that the car is in good technical condition and immediately usable, which is rare for classics of this age.
Under the hood lies a reliable four-cylinder engine known for its solidity and easy maintenance. Combined with the smooth ride and comfortable suspension, this Peugeot 404 still offers a pleasant ride, whether on short trips or longer drives on rural roads. The spacious interior and practical layout also make this car great for enthusiasts looking for a functional classic.
The Peugeot 404 has earned a strong reputation over the years as one of the most robust and reliable cars of its time. This example, with its low mileage, original livery and recent technical work, offers an excellent balance between originality and drivability. The combination of French elegance, practical space and solidity makes this 404 Familiale an attractive choice for collectors and classic car enthusiasts.
