Maxichamps' 1:43 Peugeot 504 saloon wears a light green metallic finish over Pininfarina's 1970 saloon shape, a lighter companion colour to the marque's more common dark tones. The sealed one-piece body keeps shutlines tight and glazing flush, with chrome trim picked out cleanly against the metallic paint. Pairs naturally with other 504 colourways for a themed shelf run.
About the Peugeot 504 Light Green Metallic Maxichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Maxichamps' 1:43 Peugeot 504 saloon reproduces the 1970 Pininfarina design in light green metallic, a brighter alternative within the marque's catalogue of saloon colours. The sealed body concentrates its detail on panel lines, chrome trim and glazing fit rather than opening doors or bonnet.
Metallic paint behaves differently to solid colour under a display light, carrying extra depth and a shift in tone as the angle changes, and light green is a less common choice than the 504's usual dark reds and blues. Maxichamps applies that finish over the same Pininfarina-drawn saloon body, sealed as a single casting rather than built with moving panels.
Maxichamps' Peugeot 504 in Light Green Metallic
How Metallic Flake Reads at 1:43
At this small scale, metallic flake needs a continuous, well-tooled surface to show properly, and a sealed body gives it exactly that, with no hinge line breaking up the flat panels where the flake pattern would otherwise be interrupted. The finish shifts subtly from a lighter tone in direct light to a deeper green in shadow, a quality that solid paint simply cannot replicate on the same bonnet or boot lid.
Shutlines, Chrome and Glazing on the 504 Shape
The door and boot shutlines run as single tight grooves rather than wider gaps, the chrome window surrounds and bumper trim separate cleanly from the metallic body colour, and the glazing sits flush within its aperture. Badge work stays legible under close inspection, the small details that distinguish a carefully tooled casting from a rougher one at this price point.
The 504's Place in Peugeot's Saloon Range
A Shape That Outlasted Its Era
Peugeot launched the 504 in 1968 and kept it in production in various forms for decades, a far longer run than most European saloons of its generation managed, and that longevity speaks to how well the original design balanced style with genuine usefulness.
Colour as a Collecting Variable
Maxichamps releases the same 504 casting across several factory colourways, which gives collectors a legitimate way to build variety from a single tooling rather than chasing different models entirely. Lining up two or three colours of the same car on a shelf is a recognised collecting approach, not a compromise, and it rewards a buyer who wants breadth without needing a bigger budget.
Pairing Colourways on a 504 Shelf
This light green example sits naturally beside the dark red 504 from the same range, the two colours showing how differently metallic and solid finishes catch the light side by side. Positioned under a direct display lamp rather than diffuse ambient light, the metallic flake reads at its best, which is worth bearing in mind when choosing where this particular 504 sits in a cabinet.
