wlaidlaw Posted December 29, 2016 Share #9232  Posted December 29, 2016 Christoph is correct. A Peugeot 504 Convertible. We originally thought "a nice car to use. Tough, comfortable and quite good to drive." We revised our opinion when we heard it was an early 1.8 fuel injection model, with a miserable 79 BHP, heavy body and unpowered steering, so desperately underpowered and troublesome Kugelfischer fuel injection to boot (oil feed problems, drive belt failures).  We were rather surprised that we appeared to be the only people adding two caps-ful of synthetic two stroke oil to each tank of petrol, to lubricate the mechanical fuel injection pump. Modern unleaded petrol is very "dry" with virtually zero lubricity. Without the addition of oil to the petrol, the metering pumps soon wear out with inaccurate metering the end result. There were quite a few cars on the rally (including the Peugeot), using mechanical fuel injection. By the end of the rally, most were adding oil, after seeing us doing it.   My choice for a 504 Convertible, would be a carburettor V6 car (Peugeot-Renault-Volvo engine 2.66 L) and power steering, with which, it would be much nicer to drive. Here it is waiting for the correct forms to arrive, to allow us into the parliament area at Nay Pyi Daw, the first foreign cars ever to enter other than ambassadors' cars.  Wilson   Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted December 29, 2016 Share #9233  Posted December 29, 2016 Very attractive, and very PF of the period. Too bad it's so underpowered. I assume the owner added mesh behind the seats to reduce wind buffeting in the cockpit, assuming it could ever get going fast enough to benefit from the mesh.

I think the first people to offer these air screens were Mercedes in their mid 1990's SL, unless someone knows differently. The only time in the whole rally that we exceeded 60 MPH was on the final day's run on dual carriageway from Nay Pyi Daw to Yangon. Air flow is a funny thing. I was recently in the latest Porsche 991-2 Targa and the buffeting was terrible. We then changed to the regular cabriolet and even without the anti-buffeting screen, it was far more pleasant than the Targa.  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted December 30, 2016 Share #9236  Posted December 30, 2016 It appears to be a pickup truck from the early 1950s, when Ford, Chevy and Dodge had squared fenders/wings, but I think only the Dodge had a lip at its edge. Then I noticed the 3 lug pattern wheel and am completely confused - I'm only aware of go-carts and motor scooters with 3 lug pattern wheels.

(And a go-cart may have more horsepower than this vehicle  ) And here's a slightly enlarged view to help you on the way:  Welcome, dear visitor!
