MAJORETTE 238 Peugeot 604 custom

Introduced in 1975, the Peugeot 604 was the French manufacturer's ambitious attempt to challenge established luxury saloons from Germany and Britain. Styled by Pininfarina and powered by the PRV V6 engine, it was praised for its comfort, refinement and understated elegance. However, a combination of economic turmoil, fierce competition and reliability concerns limited sales, leaving it as one of Peugeot's most intriguing and overlooked flagship models.

In this video, I aim to capture some of the 604's understated elegance by enhancing Majorette's casting with a series of subtle upgrades. The model receives a fresh set of wheels inspired by later GTI sets, a refined paint finish with exterior detailing to bring out the casting's features, and a reworked window piece to reduce the heavy amber tint, a modification that proved more challenging than expected.
