Marketed as Peugeot's flagship saloon car, the 504 made its public debut on 12 September 1968 at the Paris Salon. The press launch which had been scheduled for June 1968 was at the last minute deferred by three months, and production got off to a similarly delayed start because of the political and industrial disruption which exploded across France in May 1968.

The 504 was a sunroof-equipped four-door saloon introduced with a carburetted 1,796 cc four cylinder petrol engine 79 bhp (59 kW; 80 PS) with optional fuel injection. A column-mounted four-speed manual transmission was standard; a three-speed ZF 3HP12 automatic available as an upgrade.

The 504 was elected European Car Of The Year in 1969, praised for its styling, quality, chassis, ride, visibility, strong engine and refinement. 1969 was also when the 504 reached the Australian market.

The 504 Injection two-door coupe and two-door cabriolet were introduced at the Salon De Geneva in March 1969. The engine produced the same 79 bhp (59 kW; 80 PS) of output as in the fuel-injected saloon, but the final drive ratio was slightly revised to give a slightly higher road speed of 20.6 mph (33.2 km/h) at 1,000 rpm.

Peugeot with the 504 notably won the 1974 World Cup Rally, three WRC events including the 1975 Safari Rally and the 1979 Argentina rally along with very many others. The 504's great strength has always been quite literally “it's great strength”. Tough, reliable and dependable, just what you need for a long distance rally car. The mechanically conventional Peugeot 504 was launched in 1968 with RWD, a 4-speed transmission and independent rear suspension. Styled by Pininfarina, legend has it that the headlamps were inspired by Sophia Loren's eyes and maybe that helped it to scoop European Car of the Year in 1969! The Peugeot 504 story was an outstanding success for Peugeot, well over 3 million were built with production in France until 1983 and continuing in Africa until 2007 giving a run of almost 40 years.
