Peugeot 203 (1957) Encre Waterman, Hachette, 1/24, white/black

The Peugeot 203, introduced in the late 1940s, was the brand’s first post-war model and quickly became a symbol of French motoring reliability and modest sophistication. By the mid-1950s, it had become a fixture across France, known for its durability, curved fastback styling, and solid engineering.

This 1:24 scale model by Hachette features a 1957 Peugeot 203 adorned with a nostalgic “Encre Waterman” (Waterman Ink) promotional livery — combining vintage advertising with automotive heritage. The model includes detailed period-correct graphics, a refined paint finish, chrome trim, and faithfully reproduced bodywork and interior.

As part of Hachette’s collection celebrating historic vehicles with classic French branding, this die-cast brings together the elegance of the 203 with the cultural legacy of Waterman, a prestigious name in writing instruments.

Ideal for collectors of French classics, vintage commercial vehicles, or those who appreciate the intersection of design and advertising history. A standout addition to any 1:24 scale collection that celebrates the spirit of mid-century France.
