Peugeot 505 FAQ and Buyers Guide-North American Specs.pdf

August 27, 2009 · Filed Under Peugeot · Comment  · Tags: ,

Taken from Body Construction: All models of the Peugeot 505 are constructed on an all-steel unibody frame. The sedans have a 108-inch wheelbase. The 505 wagon has a longer 114.2 inch wheelbase and has a half-ton cargo capacity. Both models are designed by Pininfarina and features design that was modern to its day, and still remain stylish. The forward slope of the hood and backward slope of the windshield yield aerodynamic benefits and esthetic beauty that is common on all Peugeot models. It should be noted that Chrysler was consulted by Peugeot to help with targeting the 505 to North Americans. Chrysler to this day continues to “borrow” their innovations from French carmakers. The 505 from a stylistic point of view is a very flowing car. All of its lines seam to flow and converge with subtle smoothness.
The 505 body is also a very durable body. Many owners have had accidents that yielded little damage to their cars and greater damage to cars that have hit them. My mechanic mentioned a 505 of his that was hit hard in an accident. The first body-straightening machine was not strong enough to pull out the 505’s sheetmetal! The owner of the machine exclaimed that most Japanese sheetmetal usually tears on this machine. The 505 was truly ahead of its time in the safety department. All 505’s have crumple zones, windshield and door pillars are designed as box sections, and the doors contain side-impact beams. The 505 was also designed with the philosophy to avoid wrecks, and this can be felt most by the way it handles.
