Introduced in 1960 and styled by Pininfarina, the Peugeot 404 was a midsize sedan built for durability, comfort, and versatility. Its robust mechanicals, strong ladder-type chassis, and comfortable ride made it a highly competitive car in long-distance and cross-continental rallying during the 1960s, particularly in Africa.
Later variants featured disc brakes and fuel injection, making the 404 unusually advanced for its segment. Its rugged build and torquey engine made it ideal for long rally stages.
The 404 earned a reputation as nearly indestructible in African rallying, dominating the Safari Rally throughout the decade.
Smooth steering, excellent ride quality, and a torque-rich engine made the 404 forgiving and consistent over long and rough stages. While not agile, it delivered unmatched endurance in the harshest conditions.
