1971 Peugeot 304 Cabriolet Pininfarina Beige
Chassis number: 3205754

From Wikipedia: The Peugeot 304 is a small family car which was produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot from 1969 to 1980.

The 304 was introduced to the public at the Paris motor show in September 1969.Production of the saloon/sedan on the was discontinued during the summer of 1979, hile the "Break" (estate) was produced until the spring of 1980.

Peugeot, hich had always been a financially prudent company, aw a gap in the midsize car market in France, taly and the rest of Western Europe. By using the smaller 204s midsection, evelopment costs were minimized resulting in a higher profit margin because of the higher pricing structure in the larger, better equipped market. The 304s main competitors on its home market came from Renault and Simca, with Citroen noticeably absent from this sector at the launch. The 304 was a success for Peugeot and was noted for several advanced features under its Pininfarina styled exterior. With its independent suspended front-wheel-drive drivetrain and disc brakes, t rode and handled better than most of its contemporaries, including some cars in higher price brackets. The chassis served Peugeot well and lasted for approximately 24 years adapted to derivative models. There was a distinct upmarket feel to the 304, ts handsome lines were well suited to postwar Europe's newly affluent middle classes who desired roomy, dvanced and stylish cars to park in their driveways. At about this time the Autoroutes were opening up France and car manufacturers around Europe knew that any car launched hence, ould need to add an ability to travel at high speeds, n relative comfort with sure-footed handling to its lineup in order to compete.The 304 fulfilled this brief and became one of the best-selling cars in its market segment.

The car was sold until 1980 and was replaced by the Peugeot 305, hich had been launched in 1977.

The 304 was launched with an all alloy SOHC four-cylinder 1,288cc petrol engine (XL3). More powerful S versions of the engine, porting a twin choke/twin barrel carburettor (XL3S), ecame an option in 1972: the S engines provided a 10bhp (7.5kW) output increase to 75bhp (55kW). Various detailed modifications were made to the engine in 1975 which boosted torque and included a marginal displacement increase to 1,290cc (XL5/XL5S).
