At the 1961 Paris Motor Show, the Sochaux-based firm made a
big impression by presenting the Cabriolet version of its 404,
again with Pininfarina's distinctive handiwork. Its breathtaking
lines made it a commercial success, and after just over 10,000
examples, production ended in 1968.
From a mechanical point of view, the 404 Cabriolet was initially
presented with a 4-cylinder carburettor engine, but in 1962 the
possibility was introduced of using the same engine in a fuelinjected
version, boosting power from 65 to 85 hp.
Our example was one of the very last 404 Cabriolet to be delivered,
as we can see from its hull number (#16667) and chassis number,
which are among the oldest in the registers. Today, the bodywork
of our example has a beautiful patina, and shows a few defects
due to its age (paintwork redone many years ago, small blisters
to be noted, visible in the condition report). The upholstery also
has a nice patina, and the carpets and foam in the driver's seat
have recently been replaced.
Since a couple of years, our car was given special mechanical
attention par a dedicated collector: standard exchange of the
engine, adjustment of the injectors, overhaul of the braking
system, change of the shock absorbers...

add a well-functioning Cabriolet to his or her collection before
the summer, at an unbeatable price!
