Please note title in transit for this car.

Peugeot is a French motorcar manufacturer, and they produced the Pininfarina-styled 403 from 1955 to 1966. The car made its debut at the Trocadero Palace in Paris. During these production years, over one-million of all types of models were produced. And by late 1958 the standard four-door sedan was available for the sale on U.S. market. In May of 1959, a longer station wagon would join the French-built lineup for the market in the U.S. with no major cosmetic changes, aside from the model designation found on the hood.

The owner has remarked about the originality under the bonnet, with all of the correct stampings and factory markings still applied. Accessories on the car include a rare period-correct Le Portex roof rack and original California backplate. Powering the car is a 1468-cc inline four-cylinder engine with 65 horsepower. Shifting gears is an all-synchromesh manual transmission, while steering is controlled by a rack-and-pinion system, and stopping the car is front and rear hydraulic drum brakes. The paint is finished in beige and is complemented by matching wheels with chrome wheel covers. The upholstery is completed in white with a two-tone dash and door panels.

The Peugeot 403 offered here is a rare estate wagon, and it is owned by a collector of French motorcars in Southern California. The wagon has received a recent cosmetic restoration, but the rest of the car is believed to be completely original.
