403 berline, cabriolet, familiale, commerciale

France

A diesel powered Peugeot 403 estate was introduced in the Autumn of 1958. For a number of years the leading edge of car's nose carried an angular, forward-leaning chrome lion bonnet ornament – the lion image being Peugeot's trade mark. That has been removed for 1959, due to safety concerns, and the logo is now incorporated into a shield-shaped grill emblem.
