zyewdall Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Take a look at these pics.... bizarre looking old vehicle that I've never seen before. But it has subaru wagon wheels. Is it maybe a puegot stealing some subaru wheels? Or some old subaru I've never seen? It was parked front end into the woods for the last 5 years and I always thought it was a VW bug. But... now that it's running around and visible from other sides, it's obviously not. The owner also has a fairly nice '82 brat (you can see the front in one picture) and a beater '86 wagon. I might just stop and ask him someday. http://server5.theimagehosting.com/image.php?img=strangefront.JPG&public_view=1 http://server5.theimagehosting.com/image.php?img=strangetire.JPG&album=0&public_view=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Not sure what it is, may be an old pugeot or something. It is a rear engined car, lloks 1950's. Subarus first car was the 360 in 1958 http://www.drive.subaru.com/Spr03_EarlyHistory.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 Well, I did some googling, and it IS a puegeot.... probably a Puegeot 203 it seems. http://peugeot.mainspot.net/hist14.shtml Wow. I've never actually seen a puegeot that old before. Great condition too. Too bad it's not an old 4wd subaru though... that would be really sweet -- I love the looks of it, especially with subaru wagon wheels on it.

nipper Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Old puegots are really cool. a neighbor had one that was a wagon. i wouldntr mind having one, though the 4speed on the tree was a bit confusing. They have classic 1950's lines without being boats. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 an older backwoods type of guy that lives over here has one of those old peugeots like that. he also has a brand new engine assembly for one sitting in a rusted out microbus along with a simca engine, both in the crates. i agree though, i had a 4 speed on the column fiat 1100 103d what a pita that thing was to drive:-\ especially with only an e brake lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 It is actually a Renault 4CV. Still French but not a Peugeot! Did not realise they share the same stud pattern as Subaru and Peugeot. You learn something everyday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 i guess the old guys is a renault then. either way its still got cool lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Thinking about this again, someone must have changed the stud pattern early Renaults had 3 stud wheels not 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 There was an '39 Peugeot on ebay a few days ago. It went for a ton of $$$! Very sweet looking car though:slobber: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanthompson Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 When I worked at Peugeot years ago, this old Renault was fashionable because Renault had just released a retro concept car called the "Fiftie" that was a tribute to the 4CV. See pics, it was really cool: http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&q=renault+fiftie+concept&btnG=Search+Images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
