Pentru amatorii de Peugeot 404:
1) Biserica rusa in 1985, colectia Cristian Malide. Peugeotul, proprietatea unui localnic, a ramas acolo in stare decenta pana prin 2008.
2) Dina Papana, pilot de curse, in Peugeot 404 Coupe
3) Moteulul Malu in anii 70
4) Bucuresti, strada Episcopiei, circa 1972
5) Bucuresti 1977
6) Brasov, carte postala circulata 1966, poza e probabil un pic mai veche
7) Bucuresti, 1971 cu numere de ambasada, langa propaspatul construit Intercontintenal.
Peugoetul 404 nu a fost importat in Romania oficial; totusi, in anii 60 si 70, destule exemplare si-au gasit drumul peste granita. Peformanta dar si solida, era comparabila cu Renault 16 sau Fiat 1800. Nu era masina de "mare stab" sau nomenclaturist, dar, fara discutie, proprietarii erau oameni profesionisti cu posibilitati financiare. Majoritatea au fost in Bucuresti, ardelenii preferand, per total, masinile nemtesti. Si astazi au supravietuit, inca nu extrem de multe, probabil 20 sau 25.
Pour les amateurs de Peugeot 404:
1) L'eglise russe a Bucarest en 1985, collection Cristian Malide. Le 404, voiture d'un riverain, est reste la jusqu'au 2008.
2) Dina Papana dans sa 404 coupe
3) Le motel Malu dans les annees 70
4) Bucarest, rue Episcopiei (pres de l'Athenee), circa 1972
5) Bucarest 1977
6) Brasov, carte postale circulee en 1966. Le photo est probablement un peu plus vieille
7) Bucarest 1971, avec des plaques diplomatiques, pres de l'hotel Intercontinental qui venet d'etre bati.
Le 404 n'etait pas importe officiellement en Romanie, mais beaucoup des examples y ont venu dans les annees 60 et 70. C'etait consideree une voiture performante et fiable, comparable au Renault 16 ou Fiat 1800. Les propreietaies n'etaient pas vraiment le nomenklatura mais ils etaient sans doute aises. La pluplart des 404 etaient a Bucarest; les gens dans les villes de Transylvanie prefereraient importer des voitures allemandes. Maintenant les 404 existent meme en Roumanie, mais je doubte que numero des exemplaires soit plus de 20 ou 25.
For fans of the Peugeot 404:
1) At the Russian Church in Bucharest in 1985, photo c/o Cristian Malide. The Peugeot belonged to a local resident and was there until around 2008.
2) Racer Dina Papana in her 404 Coupe
3) Malu motel, 1970s,
4) Episcopei Street in Bucharest, next to the Athenaeum, c. 1972
5) Bucharest 1977
6) Brasov, from a 1966 postcard so the photo is probably a bit older
7) Diplomatic car in Bucharest, 1971, next to the newly built Hotel Interncontinental.
The Peugeot 404 was never officially imported into Romania, but a decent number found their way there in the 1960s and 70s. It was considered a good, solid, reliable car, similar to the Renault 16 or Fiat 1800. Owners were not really Communist elite but certianly propserous professionals. Most 404s were in Bucharest; cities in Transylvania tended to prefer importing German cars. Today the 404 survives in Romania but in smallish numbers, probably no more than 20 or 25.

SPLENDID!!!
ReplyDeleteAnul acesta, revista L'auto Journal a publicat in seria de suplimente mono-model "Le garage ideal" un numar dedicat acestei masini extrem de interesante. Peugeotul 404 era o masina foarte frecventa in randul cetatenilor straini care lucrau in Ro (pana pe la inceputul anilor 80), probabil si datorita fiabilitatii dovedite in raliuri desfasurate in conditii foarte dure. In pozele de mai sus, extrem de interesante, aproape sigur ca modelul 404 Break parcat langa Hotelul Athenee Palace apartinea unui strain, ca si cel din fata Hotelului Aro Brasov. Si cel de pe Calea Victoriei are numar cu 12 B.
ReplyDeleteIn anii 80, puteai gasi in fiecare cartier din Bucuresti 5-6 automobile Peugeot 404. Majoritatea erau vopsite; visiniu, albastru inchis, verde inchis, mov. In afara de 404 din fata 'Biserici ruse" alt exemplar alb nu am vazut.

Foarte elegant desenata. Tin minte ca ma impresiona grila radiatorului si corpurile de lumini spate. As adauga acum si linia capotei motorului.
