Early catalogs through the late 20's were graced with beautiful artwork on the covers with
black and white pictures of the models. Catalogs from the 30's have a lesser degree of
artwork with drawings of the models. Color catalogs began appearing in the 50's with no
artwork on the covers.
There's a vast distinction amongst the various markets catalogs. U.S. catalogs tend to have
fewer models and larger pictures with basic information. French catalogs have many more
models that are similar to one another with smaller pictures. U.K. catalogs are similar to U.S.
catalogs with larger pictures and fewer models but they have less than basic information
listed.
U.S. catalogs weren't available until 1974 when Peugeot first entered the U.S. market.
Peugeot withdrew from the U.S. market at the end of 1990. Prior to 1974 Peugeots were
marked by independant distributors who published their own catalogs. All North American
catalogs prior to 1974 are distributor catalogs showing models choosen to be imported by the
distributor. Distributor catalogs are unique in that they dont always follow French
nomenctaure for naming. Models such as the UO8, AO8 and 'Caravelle' are specific to the
North American market in name only although they may be sporadicaly found in other
markets. north Americam AO/UO models fall under the P8 category of bikes in French
literature.
Catalogs from the late 30's through 1950 and the 60's are extremely rare.
