sixcyl ◊ 2006-11-08 12:40	the most famous Peugeot 403 ever seen Does someone knows the story of this choice in this TV serie scenario?
bref ◊ 2006-11-08 14:03	This 403 is wearing the original "Marchal 640" additional light, some others don't (and wear blinker à la 403 sedan). But it is known they employ more than one 403.

DynaMike ◊ 2008-01-19 20:38	This is the only 'Colombo'-403 with 'made for USA'. Were there any visible differences between these and the European versions?
Skid ◊ 2009-05-25 00:03	sixcyl wrote Does someone knows the story of this choice in this TV serie scenario? It was a car owned by Universal Studios, probably purchased as a background vehicle for a fake European set. Peter Falk saw the thing sitting on the studio lot and insisted that Columbo drive that car...it was quirky and dilapidated, like the man himself.

(Pulled over on a Traffic Stop....no,Columbo wasn't at the wheel....driver was a young lady,IIRC?)
