The Peugeot 304 is a small family car which was produced from 1969 when Peugeot saw a gap in the midsize car market. The 304 slotted in between the popular 204 and the then-new Peugeot 504. With the 204 offering a spacious passenger cabin for its class, the 304 body didn’t reinvent the wheel and used the central portion of the 204 at its core, therefore keeping development costs lower than usual, which resulted in a higher profit margin.

It was hailed a success and was noted for several advanced features under its Pininfarina-styled exterior such as independent suspension all round, front-wheel drive and front disc brakes.
