António de Oliveira Salazar António de Oliveira Salazar António de Oliveira Salazar (; ; 28 April 1889 – 27 July 1970) was a Portuguese statesman who served as Prime Minister of Portugal from 1932 to 1968. He was responsible for the "Estado Novo" ("New State"), the corporatist authoritarian government that ruled Portugal until 1974. A trained economist, Salazar entered public life with the support of President Óscar Carmona after the Portuguese "coup d'état" of 28 May 1926, initially as finance minister and later as prime minister. Opposed to democracy, communism, socialism, anarchism and liberalism, the ideology of Portugal was conservative and nationalist in nature.
Peugeot 301 (1932–36) lights, controlled from a knob in the middle of the steering column, operated on a twelve-volt electrical system.

Leaf springs at the rear were in line with contemporary practice. The 301 competed in the class in terms of fiscal horsepower, and sold approximately 70,000 units during its four-year model run.
