  Volvo Cars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Volvo Cars, or Volvo Personvagnar, is a automobile maker that was founded in 1927 in the city of Gothenburg in Sweden.
The Volvo design team invented both the 'safety cage' and 'crumple zone' concept, where passengers are protected in a strong, encircling frame and the energy of a crash is absorbed by destruction of the hood or trunk of the car.
In the early 1970s Volvo acquired the car-making division of the Dutch company DAF, and marketed their small cars as Volvos before releasing the Dutch-built Volvo 340, which went on to be one of the biggest-selling cars in the UK market in the 1980s.

 Volvo PV 444 - Wikipedia, den fria encyklopedin
Volvo PV 444, ofta bara kallad "PV:n", svensk personbil tillverkad av Volvo 1944-1965.
PV 444 och Volvo PV 544 tillverkades i totalt 440 000 exemplar.
PV 544 var en moderniserad PV 444 som togs fram 1958, då Volvo moderniserade sitt modellprogram i och med introduktionen av Volvo Amazon (1956).

 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.
Noteworthy in Volvo history is that the PV was the first unitary body design from this company.

 Volvo Adventures, New Zealand - Project PV544
At the beginning I suppose, I fell in love with the PV when I saw one on a trip to Europe when I was 17 in 1974, didn’t do anything about it even though I lived in Europe in 1981 until a "Volvo Sport Favorit" came up for sale in Wellington in 1985.
I drove the PV for a couple of years but due to a time consuming career not much maintenance was done.
Where the PV is really superior to the later models is having a cage to protect the drive shaft and stop it flying out if something lets go.

De PV 52 is de opvolger van de PV 36, beter bekend als Carioca, een auto die, evenals de Chrysler Airflow -een auto waarvan hij bijna een exacte kopie was- ondanks zijn vooruitstrevend uiterlijk en techniek geen commercieel succes werd.
Door Volvo werd in 1935 een serie van 500 stuks PV 36 gebouwd, maar tot in 1938 vindt je verkoopovereenkomsten van de Carioca in het leverantieboek van de fabriek.
De PV 51 werd gedurende een periode van 3 jaren - 1936 tot 1938 - door Volvo in een aantal van 1754 stuks geproduceerd.

In 1956 Volvo had released the new, bigger Volvo 121, 122 or Amazon which it was called in Sweden but that wasn´t allowed abroad for copyright-reasons.
The easiest-to-notice is the new hub-caps with a red circular area in the middle with a V in the middle of that.
The last PV, the single fl Sport ever built left the factory ion October 20 1965 and was saved by Volvo.

 1964 Volvo 122 - Jon's Volvo
Volvo started construction and design on its predecessor the PV-444 back in ’43, and began production in ’47.
Volvo then redesigned and updated the 444 to come up with its replacement in August of ’58.
One thing I found interesting on this car was even back then Volvo meant safety, shatter proof glass, a safety steering wheel and other little things all designed to keep you alive in the event of an accident, the most interesting of these are the seat belts.

Volvo förvånade dock många genom att som 1958 års modell presentera Volvo PV 544 som var en ordentligt omarbetad PV med bland annat hel framruta, större bakruta och ny instrumentering med termometerhastighetsmätare.
PV 444 L har ibland beskrivits som "den fulländade versionen" eftersom den äktsvenska gedigenheten och alla erfarenheter från de tidigare modellerna fanns samlade i L-modellen.
