  Volvo PV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Volvo PV which generically refers to two nearly identical models (PV444 and PV544), boasted a production run from 1947 to 1965.
While Volvo enjoyed a reputation for building fine automobiles from the beginning in 1927, most fans of this marque acknowledge that the defining moment determining Volvo's reputation for building solid durable cars that were a delight to drive commenced with the introduction of the PV444.
Looking very much like what it replaced, the subtle differences between the two consisted primarily of the introduction of a curved one-piece windshield to replace the two panes of flat glass.

Yes, there are reflections from the side window, but I guess you still can see that the well painted PV544 has had some good works inside too.

 Volvo History 1950s - PV544
In August 1958, the Volvo PV544, a more modern version of the PV444, was introduced.
The changes were the most extensive since the PV444 had been presented in 1944.The body was given a larger, convex windscreen together with a larger rear window to improve visibility.
The Volvo PV544 became one of the most successful rally cars at the end of the 1950s and beginning of the 1960s.

Rob’s love for the Volvo marque and particularly PV544 started at an age of 18 when his father got the use of PV 544 Sport while the family 122S was in the garage for servicing.
He was immediately hooked for life and promised himself that one day he would own one and if at all possible rally or race it.
It was not until 33 years later that that promise became a reality, when in 1998 he took part in his own PV544 in the Targa with his Volvo friend Leonard Bakkenes.

 4Car Feature - Swedish Classics - from Channel 4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The style of the PV-Series was influenced by American cars of the '40s, and it was a deliberate attempt by Volvo (formed in 1924) to target the lucrative US market.
The PV544 is a more accessible everyday classic than the earlier split-windscreen PV444, which is rarer and more of a collector's car than a practical workhorse.
And should you fancy a bit of classic rallying, remember that the PV-Series was fairly successful in its time, its durability winning out in the British RAC rallies of 1963 and 1964, and the East African Safari Rally of 1965.

 Revell Volvo PV544   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Most Volvo enthusiasts regard the PV544 (and its predecessor, the PV444) as the most important Volvo models in the brand's history, as they brought the Volvo name to world recognition and accounted for over 400,000 sales.
However, the rear of the model is not as impressive as the rest: the lettering is done by stickers (which doesn't look half bad but it's not as good as the front), the taillights have large and visible attachment stubs, and the exhaust pipe is not hollow.
However, its left-field status probably won't attract every collector, as the PV544 has not sold very well in the U.S. Of course, Revell is the only modelmaker to have replicated the PV544 in 1:18 scale, and it will almost certainly remain that way.

The Volvo PV544 was first introduced in 1958 as an updated version of its popular predecessor, the PV444.
But the PV544 was also a powerful automobile, boasting a 4-speed manual transmission option and power up to 95bhp.
The PV544 was successfully reintroduced every year until 1965, when it was decided by Volvo that production of the model would cease.

The PV544 came with drum brakes on all four corners, while the 122 - which shared the PV running gear - got disk brakes up front.
In 1958, Volvo began producing the re-designed PV544, which differed in looks from the PV444 only in the fact that it had a one-piece windshield in place of the two-piece front glass used in the PV444!
The 'new' PV544 got a larger engine (1600 cc, later pushed to 1800 cc) and lost some of its extraneous chrome trim.
