1958 Peugeot 403
serial number: 2190717
• Icon of 1950s French design
• Timeless elegance by Pininfarina
Launched in 1955, the Peugeot 403 quickly established itself as one of the flagship models of post-war French motoring. The first Peugeot to exceed one million units produced, it charmed buyers with its elegant lines designed by renowned Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina, while embodying the robustness and reliability that had made the Lion brand famous. A true popular star, the 403 was equally at home with families and on the open road, immortalised on screen by Inspector Columbo. The model offered for sale, built in 1958, stands out for its rare colour combination: a refined beige body with a light blue interior. The dashboard, matching the exterior colour, highlights the dark blue seats with their attractive patina. It passed its MOT in March and the test drive was satisfactory. With its four-cylinder engine and high-quality finish, this Peugeot 403 perfectly embodies the French art de vivre of the 1950s. An endearing and iconic model, ready to write a new chapter in its history with an enthusiast.
