The Peugeot 601 was a range-topping car produced between 1934 and 1935 by Peugeot.[1] It had its formal launch on 5 May 1934 and marked a return by the manufacturer to six-cylinder engines.[2]

Together with the Peugeot 401, the 601 was the first car to be built (by coachbuilder Carrosserie Pourtout) as a coupé-convertible, with a retractable hardtop, that could be moved and stowed under a reverse-hinged rear luggage lid.
