Sorry, Paul, but it really was a Peugeot. The car has been written up a 
couple of times in Old Cars Weekly, and undoubtedly many other places. 
And I remember Peugeot 403's very well from high school, as a friend had 
a sedan. Speaking of "4 on the tree"....

Unless there was an episode I missed where the Lt. had a Borgward, but I 
don't think so.
