Ooh that 404 was well made. And as the photo shows so were the 504s. Their drive system was unusual. Rear wheel drive with a solid axle but it had vertical springs so the 'push forward' force had to go somewhere. They did that by fixing two thick steel members from the hub ends of the axle to a point right by the gearbox in between the two front seats. So the pushing force was actually from the centre of the car - like neither front wheel drive or rear wheel drive. I've never seen that on any other car.
