304 Berlin
The Peugeot 304 was produced between 1969 and 1980. It was based on the 204. The two models have the same wheelbase (259 cm), but the 304 was not as popular as the smaller 204. The 304 is just under 4 meters long and was considered a mid-range car for its time. One can see similarities to the Alfa Romeo Giulia from the same era.
The photos of the 304 sedan were taken in the South of France. Here, the occasional 304 appears on the road.
The engine selection consisted of 1.3 liters of 65 HP for the standard 304 and 75 HP for the 304 S. There was also a diesel option.
304 Coupé
It was typical for Peugeot to offer coupé variants in the model range. The coupé was offered as both a 1.3 (65 HP) and a 1.3 S (75 HP). It was designed as a modern 3-door hatchback with a rear door.
304 Convertible
The cabriolets are based on the coupe model, only as two seats. Note the special, slightly rounded rear section that it does not share with any of the other variants in the model range. Today it seems that the Cabriolet version is most widespread, probably because they are better cared for and considered better hobby cars. They do well at car meets.

About the pictures
The burgundy-red car in the first main image was photographed in Céret, France. The blue car with Norwegian registration plates attended a car meet at Andresen Bil, Ski 2025. The white car parked along the street was photographed in Perpignan, France, – a place where it has often been parked during the day. It was in remarkably good condition and has hardly lived a lifetime parked on the street in France. The other white sedan is a car with low mileage and a sunroof. It belonged to a private amateur collection in France and was recently put up for sale on auction. The starting price was 10.000 kroner. The white coupé is also a French auction car estimated at between 20.000 and 30.000 kroner. The green 304 Coupé was photographed at a car show in Perpignan in 2023. All three Cabriolets were photographed in connection with a car show near Perpignan. The photo of the estate version was also taken at a car show elsewhere in Perpignan.
