1948 PEUGEOT 202 Berline
The 202 was the smallest Peugeot in the second half of the 1930s. It was officially presented in March 1938. It shared more or less the body style of the streamlined 302. The 202 was distinguishable by just one horizontal ventilation opening at the side of the bonnet, and the one-piece windscreen.
In the early 1930s revolutionary aerodynamic theories were applied for the first time to mass produced cars. Avant-garde cars like 1934 Tatra 77 and the 1934 Chrysler Airflow gained a lot of positive attention. The 402 was Peugeot's answer to its direct competitor the streamlined 1934 Citroën TA.
The 02-series was developed by the Département Études Carrosseries, under supervision of Henri Thomas.
The Peugeot 02-series was also called Fuseau-Sochaux.
1133 cc L4 petrol engine.
