A symbol of the post-war period,
October 7, 1948 saw the belle of the Sochaux plant make its debut at the Grand Palais in Paris to inaugurate the Salon de l'Automobile.
The 203 was to be the only model to represent the brand from 1949 to 1954.
The Lion finally roared again.
Strong and safe, the 203 was easy to drive and its comfort and reliability undeniable. Its brilliant, but noisy engine was key to its reputation.
The date: February 26, 1960 and the last 203 saloon rolls out of the Sochaux plant bringing 12 years of production to a close, with 203 number 685,828."French design, international class"
The slogan of the time set the tone and the 203 lived up to its reputation.
Its hallmark feature was the sunroof, which featured on 98% of 203s.
Its streamlined shape, reflecting trends from across the Atlanticwas for Peugeot the incarnation of the American dream, now within the reach of the French privileged classes.
