That looks *amazingly* American in design. Almost a Plymouth!

I've always found this 203 coupé to be the most interesting of the 203
offerings. I'm sure it was based on a design originally put together by
Chapron or another of the coachbuilders but then Peugeot built it on its
own. In the pictures the front does look like a Plymouth but in real life
this is quite a bit smaller, especially narrower and shorter. I don't think
it shows in the chassis photo but Peugeot was one of the last manufacturers
to fit their cars with worm drive rear axles.

That doesn't show, but it looks like there is a torsion bar off to the
left in the underchassis picture. Hard to imagine exactly what it's
purpose would be, though.
