Peugeot minibus in Nice, 1968


A little cutie, although you wonder how much legroom passengers had: a minibus version of the D3/D4 camionette or van produced between 1950 and 1965.  They also had the "Nez de cochon" nickname because of their protruding grille characteristic needed to house the Peugeot engine which was longer than the original twin cylinder two-stroke Chenard engine.
