In
April 1970, PEUGEOT presented the 504 wagon, being
longer (4.80 m) than the sedan, also having a longer
wheelbase, a higher roof in the back and a solid
rear axle with four (!) coil springs. Basically,
four different versions were available: Break L (basic,
with the "L" dashboard), Break GL ("Transport-Sedan"),
Familiale (six-seater) and Commerciale (load carrier
for business use). A choice of gas and Diesel engines, and specialist
coach builders using the Break as a basis, resulted in
a vast number of different versions.

At
1971's Genva salon, PEUGEOT showed a very special
wagon: The 504 Break Riviera, based on the 504 Coupé.
Sadly, this beautiful and breathtaking estate never made it into
production. It would have been ahead of it's time.

has survived and is now hidden by an unknown spanish collector.
