hi everyone
hi chris- where are you and this yellow 505 located? i would love to see that. also wouldnt mind owning it...
there was a PEUGEOT TAXI here in Buffalo, NY. we almost had a conniption when we first saw it. it was only a normal 505 S, though a 5 speed. a man's own car, pressed into service...an enterprising young man, by the name of Peter Singer. i thought it appropriate that buffalo had a Peugeot taxi, because Buffalo had one of the longest extant Peugeot dealers and they sold unusually well from here to Rochester. you can still run into them in non-specialty wrecking yards, though i only have seen one on the road in the last two years...
sic transit...
