Tough love?
Jan Tegler's piece on the Peugeot 504 (Aug. 18) brought back memories. In 1972 I fell in love with the comfortable seats and Gallic design of a 504. Some love was lost when it wouldn't start in the rain or when the paper-thin ignition key was bent and unusable. I also had to forgive the constantly disengaging sunroof that prevented sliding, spark plugs in the engine's belly, and a/c that sucked 90 percent of its power. Still, it was perfect for a college student, especially with its "sleeping berth arrangement.''
