U.S. Model Production Figures

On 5th August 1991, Automobiles Peugeot S.A., France's largest car maker, announced it would no longer export cars to North America.
Peugeot's U.S. subsidiary, Peugeot Motors of America, remains in business to provide parts for existing cars.

NOTE: A handful of Peugeots were trickling into the U.S. before official importation by Peugeot, Inc. (later to become Peugeot Motors of America) began in April 1958.   Independent distributors included Vaughn Imported Cars, New York, N.Y. and The John L. Green Jr. Company, Los Angeles, CA.  The largest independent Peugeot importer, however, was Eastern Auto Distributors, Norfolk, VA.
