One of the most notable innovations in the new Peugeot range for 1921 was the arrival of the 156 series. The French manufacturer wanted to recover a luxury clientele, as characterized the brand's image before the war. The type 156 brought Peugeot back to the top of the range, with a 15HP engine and multiple body styles. Peugeot, which was looking for modern technology to symbolize luxury and comfort together with effectiveness, chose the valveless engine technique. The 156 engine used this principle, which caused a lot of talk at the time, choosing the 6-cylinder split. The engine, type MZ, had a displacement of 5954cc (95x140). The 156, sold in Torpedo, Limousine, Cabriolet, Coupé and Landaulet configurations, was produced in 180 examples until the end of 1923.
The genesis of this range began during a visit to the Citroen collection where dozens of concept cars were gathered. Some of these prototypes gave birth to mass-produced cars, but for the most part they remained forgotten works, emerging a little too rarely at motor shows and reminding us of the long journey of automotive progress in the second half of the last century. In 1:43 scale, in resin, the Franstyles stand out for their level of detail and fidelity of execution.
