Peugeot 504 Pininfarina

The Peugeot 504 Pininfarina facelift prototype.

Vehicle Overview

The Peugeot 504 Facelift proposal, made by Pininfarina in 1973, was a vision of how the classic French sedan could be modernized while retaining its enduring elegance and refinement. At the time, the Peugeot 504 was already a successful model, known for its comfort, reliability, and solid engineering. However, as the automotive market evolved in the early 1970s, Pininfarina sought to offer a fresh design approach to keep the model in line with changing tastes and emerging trends. Pininfarina’s proposal focused on enhancing the 504’s exterior styling, refining its lines to create a more contemporary and dynamic appearance. The front end saw the most noticeable changes, with a redesigned, more angular grille and updated headlight clusters that gave the car a bolder and more sophisticated look. Pininfarina’s signature design language was visible in the smoother curves and more streamlined body, offering a balance between modernity and the classic appeal of the 504. The rear end of the 504 was also given attention, with updated tail light designs and a cleaner, more polished look. This gave the car a more cohesive and balanced profile, aligning the front and rear with greater harmony. The facelift proposal was subtle yet impactful, with modifications aimed at making the Peugeot 504 look more modern without losing the distinctive charm that had made it so popular. Though Peugeot ultimately chose not to adopt Pininfarina’s facelift proposal for the production version of the 504, the design remains a fascinating “what if” in automotive history. The collaboration between Peugeot and Pininfarina highlights the coachbuilder’s ability to elevate an already successful model with its expert touch. The Peugeot 504 Facelift proposal serves as a reminder of the innovative design thinking that continues to shape the automotive world.
