This PEUGEOT 604 Landaulet is indeed a very special car: It's not only one of just two 604 Landaulets ever made, in fact it's the 604 Présidentielle of the Republic of Niger, a former french colony...
Fantastic photos by Hugo
 
You need more detailed data to believe this car is not just a dream? It is a 604 A31, serial no.: 6573152, carrosserie no.: 72417, making the basis car a 1978 model. This beauty was turned into a Landaulet by CHAPRON, then being displayed at the 1978 Paris Motor Show and subsequently shipped to Niger. These photos were taken in Niger when this almost unique car was for sale sometime 2001/2002. In the background lurks a 505 Break

...leather seats, powered rear windows... Now this is open-top motoring of it's best! Unfortunately just two Landaulets were built by CHAPRON, says Dominique PAGNEUX in his book "La 604 de mon père"

2.6 litre V6 engine with carbs and A/C compressor, and supposed 15.000 kms on the clock. No rust!

Imagine my surprise when I came across the very same car on the Paris Retromobile 2003. Obviously, this historic Peugeot 604 has been purchased by a french enthusiast.

Now the PEUGEOT 604 Landaulet has been restored to its former beauty. I hope to see it again on international events - and talk to its owner about its history...

...as you can see by this photo, showing the car pre-restoration
Another coachbuilder, called André PARAT, realized two more 604 Breaks, which were styled differently to the cars with BARRE coachwork, and were not used as hearses. The C.A.M.P. (Club Autos Miniatures PEUGEOT) made a miniature of this 604 Break type. Expect photos of the real thing soon.
   

[ 604 PICK-UP ]

I came across this PEUGEOT 604 Pick-up when it was sold by eBay for little money in Belgium. The seller did sent me some photos, but gave no futher informations
 
I believe this car was a one-off, built by a skilled PEUGEOT entusiast. But why? Note 404 badge

Not much space under platform. The car seems to be well built, with attention to every detail

Can anyone, maybe its new owner, shed some light on this special 604? Please drop me a line! Note DeLorean, left of the 604
