Peugeot launched a car in the 1960s that would quickly become extremely popular: the 404. The family car had a characteristic styling and was also popular on the African continent. One of the popular models of the 404 was the Familiale, a 7-seater car with a lot of luggage space.

Peugeot started producing the 404 in 1960. The car was designed by the famous design house Pininfarina. The 404 was sold as a sedan, pick-up and station wagon and would be a huge success for the brand with the lion.

As mentioned, Peugeot launched several variants of the 404. One of those variants is this Familiale, a 7-seater car. The car was praised for its build quality and excellent interior, but the car's appearance was criticized.

Peugeot promoted the 404 Familiale as follows: “With the Peugeot Familiale it is possible to transport 7 to 8 people in a comfortable manner, while if desired, the already large luggage compartment can be made even larger by folding up the third bench – 80 SAE hp petrol engine – 145 km/h also available with 68 SAE hp diesel engine – 128 km/h.” Officially the car is a 7-seater car, but at Peugeot they saw room for one more person.

This is a very nice Peugeot 404 Familiale with a beautiful interior with sleek sheet metal and virtually no filler. However, as you can see in the photos, it has minor damage and dents. There is also some surface rust on the otherwise hard sills. There are some rust blisters on the right rear door and rear screen. The only thing missing from the car is a door catch for the driver's door. Furthermore, the car drives fine. Engine runs nicely. Because the car has stood still for a few years, it is wise to have it serviced before use.
