Forgot to take a picture but it had a windshield sticker for faculty parking at a local university...from 1991.

I have always liked the look of these, and they are apparently pretty good cars. Appears to be a NA spec car with Euro lights.

Nice Peugeot. A 504? And I don’t see Sylvie anywhere, and that’s a French bulldog so this joke doesn’t work (Sorry 415s30 W123TSXWaggoIIIIIIo ( •_•))°))

Great car! That brown seems to really suit it. Must be a longtime local with that sticker.

I’m going to guess whoever the owner was as of 1991 owned at least one tweed blazer with leather elbow patches, and likely smoked a pipe with peach tobacco.

Yeah, those and W123s survive in the Mid East and Africa.

did you look on the dash? I bet there’s a tweed cap  and a sheaf of ungraded exam papers with coffee rings on them

Those side marker lights are very much US spec though. Maybe they  have been retrofitted?

501!!! Always loved these, especially with the Eurospec bumpers. I saw one in mint shape for $1500 (!!!) for sale in semi-rural Quebec a few years ago....being sold by an elderly couple. Saw it for sale the following year for $7000 with nothing at all done for it....missed opportunity there :(

I suspect the headlights were retrofitted, as the car also appears to have US/NA (Canada spec is virtually always the same as US spec in terms of lighting/bumpers due to association) bumpers.  It was a bit of a fad in the 80s to convert cars to Euro lights.
