Model history The 1930's were great years for French automobile design. Bugatti were building amazing art deco inspired coach built cars for the aristocracy and even the more main stream brands were being inivitive. Citroen had almost rewritten the book with the launch of the Traction Avant a car that was technically light years ahead of the competition despite its rather dower styling. Peugeot on the other hand used a more traditional rear wheel drive layout but were busy designing some of the most elegant streamlined vehicles available in Europe. The first of these models was the 402, it was larger than the Citroen and because of its backbone chassis they were able cheaply offer a massive range of body styles which meant that they could offer a vehicle for almost any occasion from a practical saloon to the world first convertible with a folding metal roof. Although it was a success Peugeot really needed a smaller car to compete with the Traction Avant. In 1936 they launched the 302. Effectively it was a scaled down version and proved massively popular. The model ran for just 2 years but during this time over 25,000 vehicles were produced. As with the 402 there were various body styles available including coupe and convertible versions
