Good day, thanks to Mr. Tracy FLOYD from Maine USA (a 404 C owner), he shared with me today the particulars of a 1967 Cabriolet that was in the USA and scrapped a long time ago: 4499976, Cabriolet Carburetor, 05 October 1968, scrapped, bought as a new car in 1968 by E. SARGENT, from Salamone Sons in Nedham, MA USA Total: 1985 !

Hello, I just found two more, which were submitted to the Registry website: 4595501, Coupé Injection, 26 February 1965, bought 28 September 2015, Gris Graphite 1055, Tissu Beige, FLAYOSC FRANCE 4595501-01 by Mike Tippett, on Flickr 4597669, Coupé Injection, 15 December 1965, bought 26 September 2015, Blanc Arosa 1132, FLAYOSC FRANCE 4597669-01 by Mike Tippett, on Flickr Total: 1984 !

I found another one today, that was just sold in France: 4599674, Cabriolet Injection 1967, Rouge China 1135, Cuir Noir, Sold in September 2015, carburetor engine, Robergel wire wheels, restored by the previous owner ~ 2005, AUVILLIERS-EN-GATINAIS FRANCE 4599674-01 by Mike Tippett, on Flickr Total: 1982 !

This old photograph is likely of the same car in the post above (4599131). The owner of 4599131 and I are pretty much convinced of it. It was on display in Nairobi in 1966 on a Marshall's (the Kenyan Peugeot importer) stand at a trade show prior to its delivery to the first owner. The plate on this car "INJ 404" is a false one, just indicating that the car has a KF2 engine. 404CMarshalls1966 by Mike Tippett, on Flickr

Good day to you all, Today we managed to add 4 more cars to the 404 C Registry. The first one was courtesy of the Facebook page I manage called "Peugeot 404 Registry" and for the moment I only have a photo of the VIN plate: 4499862, Carrosserie 132xx, Cabriolet Carburetor 1967, Noir 1000, Red Leather, Car is at an upholstery shop in Massachusetts awaiting a new soft top from France, SPRINGFIELD MA USA 4499862-01 by Mike Tippett, on Flickr The other three were found and photographed by my super-helper Hervé C in Lyon France: 4599176, 11378 Coupé Injection 1966, Gris Graphite 1055, Grey Cloth Seats, This car was just sold for around 7500 Euros May2015, and it will be moving to the Paris region for its restoration from the Isère part of the French Alps, ILE DE FRANCE FRANCE 4599176-02 by Mike Tippett, on Flickr 6802646, Carrosserie 16048, Cabriolet Injection 1968, Bleu Clair Métallisé 1158, Black Leather 2000, Hard top, this car will be restored after cannibalising parts from Coupé No. 6802163, ISERE FRANCE 6802646-03 by Mike Tippett, on Flickr 6802163, Carrosserie 15363, Coupé Injection 1968, Bleu Clair Métallisé 1158, Black Vinyl, This car still exists in May 2015 but it will be an organ and body part donor for Cabriolet No. 6802646. Too many Coupés end up this way....and later the owner will sell the ownership papers and manufacturer's plates, so this number could eventually reappear on a VIN-reassigned car...., ISERE FRANCE 6802163-03 by Mike Tippett, on Flickr Total: 1968 !

The 404 Cabriolet image is a really bad mock-up, the car is missing its character line on the flanks. I would recommend using a proper 404 Cabriolet image, for example, this one: 4499202-01 by Mike Tippett, on Flickr
