504 Dangel 4x4 (1980–86)

The first Dangel: Henri Dangel’s four-wheel-drive conversion of the Peugeot 504 pick-up and break, developed with Peugeot’s own engineers from a 1976 prototype shown to the company in 1978 and taken into the Peugeot range in 1980 — a transfer case, raised suspension and a driven front axle on the standard car, sold through Peugeot dealers.

The record

Dangel of Sentheim in Alsace had built competition cars since the late 1960s; the 504 conversion became a catalogue Peugeot and started a business that has converted more than 22,000 Peugeots, Citroëns and Fiats since. The 504 4x4s went to French rural services, African fleets and overland travellers.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
