Peugeot automobiles created beautiful coupe and convertible models based upon their four door sedan cars. Peugeot built coupe models of the 203, 204, 304, 404 and the featured Peugeot 504. Just like the convertible models the coupe cars were all beautiful automobiles. The 504 coupe and convertible were designed by PininFarina, just like the 504 Berlina. The coupe and convertible models were presented on the Geneva Motor Show in the year 1969. Mechanically the cars were the same as the 504 Berlina but their wheelbase was shortened.

The Berlina was never sold with V6 engine. (* V6 engine developed by Peugeot/ Renault and Volvo). The cars were fitted with power brakes and disc brakes all round.
