This French Beast Was The True African King!


This French Beast Was The True African King!

The Peugeot 504, born in 1968, was more than just a car – it was a symbol of toughness and reliability that conquered roads all over the world. This video tells the amazing story of a vehicle that went from the streets of France to become known as the “King of the African Road.” The 504’s journey…

I'm extremely sorry. Yes, I use AI voice. But i really try to make my content good. But in this video, i made two crucial mistakes. Mispronounced Peugeot, and instead of 5 O 4, voice said 504. And also there are some editing mistakes. My channel is new, and I'm constantly trying to improve my content. Again, I'm truly sorry for all these mistakes.😔😔

We had a 5 ooh4 super 7 bought from South Africa Peugeot was a king back in the day.

@trevorz1299

Hello , which country must i go on vacation next 2025 to see many of those 504?

@AdebayoJohnson-t3n

Oh yes u can say that again,can never forget this car, still know i can get one very very soon.

@danmamo5849

I love this types of less known stories about how a car was built. Thanks

@byteknight9975

I saw some of these cars in their old age on BLEXIDY's channel, and I was amazed.

@sabinkilondama2204

True it become the King of the African terrain!

@aksamhuda7

Peougeot was king in Africa until Toyota came around and took over

@rock882josh7

My grandfather had a 404..simple, beautiful, reliable, comfortable

@badchefi

Unless you owned one – then it became clear that it ain’t perfect.

@Alcalfa

Amazing how you used so many photos of totally unrelated motors, cars, 505s… I wanted to learn more about the 504 and this is just a bunch of garbage.

@edidiongukpong8797

This one of the toughest cars ever.
Had the 505SR. Toughest thing ever. I wish cars were made that simple these days

@dangerman01582

Lovely looking car

@sammie109

504 wagon was something else

@CanyonRoamer

The ungly thing, they made the front grill look the same in all models

@josephomole6404

In Nigeria, the 504 was the car of government officials. It had status, and was very well respected for its ruggedness.

@kevinmcinerney1959

"Pyooozho".

@simontaylor2319

Pronounced Purrrjoe 504 not 5zero4

So far the best European car for Africa ever made..

@norwegianzound

The five zero four! Can you not correct the AI voice by spelling it five oh four?

Good information but poor presentation. That robot voice is terrible and spoils the whole videos.

@HashamSamma

❤beautiful car

@oegromov

Peugeot 205 is also a very reliable car.

@surreyscouse2873

Still see loads of these with half a house contents on the roof and about 15 people inside in Egypt.

My beloved car for life. I still own one and is now doing a full uplift . It was there in my childhood at 10yerss old and now I'm 51 and it's still with me after my father passed it on to me. I will never give it up. It has gone through many things with me in my life . I love this king of cars ! I'm from Sri Lanka !

@watmasta

My dream car… efficient and robust ❤

@mnbalfour1985

Don't criticise the Intelli-Car Youtuber for putting up this video with its "poo-joe" and "five-zero-four" mispronunciations. He's using an AI voice system, probably to protect his privacy. Anyway "five-zero-four" or "five hundred and four" is correct. An O oh is not a 0 zero.

@bakkerem1967

I can remember in the eighties one of my neighbors sold his 504, and he told me someone from Africa bought it. I was surprised back then (and that's why I still remember), and he told me that they were amassing the relative good cars over there to keep them running, as repair was easy, and labor was cheap. The cabrio version is beautiful, and a true classic.

@abdikadirahmed9540

my first love of cars 504 in Kenya, my first trip as kids 1974 was the estate which carried 9 passengers, we travelled from Nairobi to isiolo,
great memories,
mourning the death of the Kenyan king

@Joe_DaDon

Im from Kenya, I was brought up in a family that all uncles and aunts drove the various peugeots mentioned back in the day! i rode on a new 504, 505 and they were some of the greatest memories i have… awesome throwback… id definately want to own one in my lifetime.

@Tapsy_smith

5 OH 4 mate lol zw

@jrgjurgenson3540

Loved my 1969 Peugeot 504 driven in early '80. WAT a GREAT car and fantastic motor. Had 800.000 km in original state on the clock. Salt and rust was his death. The motor runs endlessly.

@KingBooks26

The 404, even more beautiful, and the coupé, a jewel !

@Redladybugcaravan

In Turkey, 504 had the nick name "Jewish Benz"

Drove it for 18yrs, raised a family of 5 kids Upto entering college, and sold it double the price I had paid for it. In Kenya.

@duartesimoes508

In the seventies and eighties, High Ranking Officers in the Portuguese Armed Forces were allocated a Peugeot 504. They were always black.

@FBG66

The Station wagon versions were nickname, "Flying coffins."

@jjadragna

So to make a good car you have to make it reliable, stylish, not underpowered and adapt it to the real conditions of use. And the prifits will come. What a revelation. They seem not to learn it anymore in design schools and MBA's those days.

@munyamubaiwa4313

My dad had the Estate station wagon and the pickup truck until 1992. These things are unbreakable and I have seen several 404 and 504 in very good condition up to this day here in Zimbabwe.

@EKKOBO

In Nigeria we called it 5O4 not 504

@paulpattison2592

Poogeot ??? Come on… your pronunciation ruins your video…. its purrrrgeot….

@arisarsenis3500

The most silent car I've seen in Acropolis Rally, the toughest of all Rallies in 70's-80's

@morrispartow759

My family had a GL and an L Model ,great cars .but my favorite is the Coupe and the cabriolet 504s.

@alwaysoz2

Im the Eng;ish speaking world, this was always regerred to as the "Five O four" I felt a great urge to jump in and correct the narrator every time he said "5 zero 4". This car was actually featured in a rallying movie and calling it Five zero four was a running joke for folks who weren't too familiar with the car.

@Ericmwangii

I still have my 504 pickup, the one at 9.26 min. Should I sue this guy for using my video?

@RonnieBertin

In Tanzania we don't call Peugeot we call 504mnyama

@keterwilly5307

I have one till today a 5 oh 4 Peugeot pickup.it has been part of my wealth creation endeavours 😂😂very reliably. I ❤ it.itcwas mainly for use by government officials in kenya as you mentioned.
