At the beginning of the 1930s, when the economy was terrible, Peugeot met customer needs by making the Peugeot 301. It was sold as a saloon, limousine, coupé, cabriolet, and roadster from 1932 to 1936. It was replaced by the Peugeot 302 in 1936, and up until 1938, 25,100 were made. The Peugeot 302 had a smooth front end because the headlights were built into the radiator grille. This style, called the "Sochaux spindle" was first seen on the Peugeot 402. The war messed up the  Peugeot 300  Series, and  the Peugeot 303 was never made . This series was held for 30 years until the Peugeot 304 was shown at the Paris Motor Show in 1969. It came as a saloon, a coupé, a cabriolet, an estat...
