Hadn't he to change the plates?
I don't know the Canadian rules about that.


Quebec, Alberta, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland & Labrador and all the territories do not require front license plates, so you can put a custom plate up front if you wanted.

Still from the same source as my previous message, a test of the CXA XM :


And a Peugeot 505 coupé :wam:

It must be one of the prototypes made, since it was never mass-produced

I don't know, if the photo is stille here, which I've posted some months ago. This two-door-505-prototype was shown on the 2010 "Techno Classica"-show.

Together with:

Then we take pictures from other people:

Hmmm, this guy made a plenty of photos - but I cannot find us. :oh:

But otherwise were are namely mentioned in the official press-release from the organisator and by Volkswagen, too. :sol:

http://www.volkswagenag.com/vwag/vwcorp/info_center/de/news/2010/04/volkswagen_g- roup_techno_classica_2010.html

Otherwise this prominent publishing of our club's name wasn't too helpful for us. The results, were are really intereted in, were weak as the years before, when we had been there just as one VW-club among the others.

It seems, that there were enough cars exported to the USA, that a few clubs could be founded:

..for Citroen. I haven't found an American Peugeot-club.

But for Simca!

does Peugeot have offices or something in New Jersey?!? most of those non-US cars had NJ plates and the ones I could see had Manufacturers plates (meaning that the car is registered to the manufacturer) on them.

Yes they still have an office, mainly for parts

Automobiles Peugeot has sold vehicles in the USA from 1959 to 1992, mostly 403, 404, 304, 504, 604, 505 and 405. It is represented by Peugeot Motors of America, Inc , which maintains an inventory of replacement parts and documentation necessary for the maintenance or repair of the most recently sold vehicles and provides technical support
to a network of service points in the USA and Canada.

To locate a service point please contact:

Peugeot Motors of America Inc.
Overlook at Great Notch
150 Clove Rd
Little Falls, New Jersey 07424
Tel : 001 973 812 44 44
Fax : 001 973 812 21 48
E-mail : customerservice@peugeotusa.net



Automobiles Peugeot does not manufacture vehicles that conform to current United States regulations. For this reason it is unfortunately impossible for anyone to import a Peugeot model into the USA . Should anybody attempt to do so, the vehicle will be blocked at the port of arrival and will not be allowed to be operated in the USA and Canada .

As of this date, Automobiles Peugeot has no plan for resuming the sales of its vehicles in the USA or Canada

I wonder why, if Peugeot has no intention of entering the US market again, they would go through the trouble of shipping those cars here? Surely it would be cheaper to just buy US cars for their employees to drive around in.

A pricey Peugeot 206 that has somehow been imported and titled in Texas:

Since it's in Texas, I'm thinking it might be a Mexican drug trafficking car that was seized and auctioned by the DEA. Because such cars are not imported into the US through official channels, they are never inspected for compliance with FMVSS.

I agree that that is very likely gag halfrunt, especially since the ad says that the car got it's paint job in Mexico and it has a bonded title.

The text of the ad doesn't say that. Did you contact the seller directly?
