Vintage - the Peugeot 403 cabriolet | led the
Last week, the world has seen the passage of the American actor Peter Falk, star of the hit 1970 TV detective series Columbo Falk increased to 83 years, dementia and Alzheimer's disease While fans the actor and his show mourn his loss, Garage chooses to celebrate one of the strangest police cars in the history of television 1959 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet If you're not familiar with Columbo, the show is Lt. Columbo Police detective wearing a rumpled overcoat, cheap suits and ties polyster, a man so disheveled in appearance you could hardly take seriously its bumbling kind would lead you to believe incompetent, but it was his weapon against PERP.
So how the car is in that Lt. Columbo needed a car for the show, but the producers did not want him in a standard police car, therefore, escorted Peter Falk producers in many cars they had sat at Universal Studios for a watch M. Falk saw a strange, slightly beaten, boxy car away, and chose the pug like car Columbo rare car, boxy and ridiculously low power for the United States, the car was perfect for Lt Columbo Although this is a convertible, fan sites confirm Columbo was always the top and it was a rare car Introduced in 1956, when Columbo s 59 was made, only 504 models When built 403 Cabriolet production ended in 1961 a meager 2,030 cars had been built.
Unfortunately, despite their relevance to the history of television, Hollywood usually see cars they use as expendable and Peugeot Columbo is no exception Stories of the 403 range and conflict in my research, but it is the best I can offer Universal owned 403 but apparently rented two or three additional cars Peugeot When the series ended, Peter Falk thought Universal has retained the main car, but had sold the parties in Florida and San Diego claimed COLUMBO have 403, but according to Wikipedia, car was found in Ohio to complicate matters, the Columbo series was revived by another network, and employs the same car in all cases, the main peak shows a recent photo taken Universal Studios of what is to believe one of Columbo DARWIN s and, for your edification, a fully restored 403 Not you to jama Colombo is seen in a car this nice, too bad with the top being down.
It is the United States in Ohio A couple bought after 78 Ended May series in the 80's when they started the series back again, they tried a come back, but they wouldn t sell back so they rented the car there is only one car he was driving, they do not need extras they just kept the same car running, wasn t like doing Smoky Bandit.
He drove with the top down with Roddy McDowell and William Windom in Episode Short Fuse.
In addition, he had the top when he intentionally got a speeding ticket from a speed camera system, and I think it was the murder of a rock star Columbo.
Peugeot Columbo, Columbo, Peugeot.
