1955-1959 PEUGEOT 403 Berline - a photo on Flickriver

1955-1959 PEUGEOT 403 Berline

            This 403 is an early versions: it still has a small round indicator light in the C-pillar. This was removed in 1959.
The 403 was at the launch in 1955 a modern looking car with a smooth body. It was designed by Pininfarina.
In 1956 the 403 Familiale (estate), a pickup, a 3-door van (Commerciale) and a 2-door cabriolet was added to the 403 range.

I was wondering how this Western Peugeot could be imported new in Hungary in these days. As a communist country it was a closed society with very few trade connections with western capitalistic countries.
And this 403 was not the only one in 1950s Hungary: I discovered a few more 403s in Budapest streets on gallery.hungaricana.

1468 cc 8 CV engine.
Ca. 980 kg.
Production 403 Series: Spring 1955-Nov. 1966.
Original old post-war Hungarian reg. number.

I found this picture on the public site gallery.hungaricana.hu.
Original source: Collection Budapest Capital Archives - photos.
Title: Closed-row, multi-storey corner building with a high roof.
Old street name: Liberation Square, new street name: Ferenciek tere.
Location Budapest V
Ferenciek Square.
Original photographer and date unknown.
