Peugeot 504 Popemobile 1980
For the official visit of Pope John Paul II in Lyon, the Vatican wished a simple and discrete vehicle to transport the pope while meeting the crowd. As the 504 was chosen, the Peugeot style department started to adapt it to these criteria and created a simple and functional setting to enable the people to see the pope. A raised platform was fitted so he could stand up and two translucent side panels protected him from the crowd.
Engine: 4 cylinders, 1618 cc, 62 hp, 4 speed gearbox.
