  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 B16 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These engines were fitted to the PV444 in its final two years (1957 and 1958), the Volvo PV544 in its 1958 introduction, as well as the companion estate and van versions known as Volvo P445, Volvo P210, and Volvo Duett.
A new Volvo automobile intruduced in 1956, known in some markets as the Volvo Amazon or Volvo 122 was the first production Volvo to sport this engine in any significant number although some of the later examples of the short-lived Volvo P1900 were also fitted with them.
The Volvo BM T425 tractor is one such example of a non-automotive use for the B16.

 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, PV544 Targa NZ 2002, driver Rob de Borst
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.
The European successes of Volvo in rallying were well documented in those days and Volvo was at its peak of performance driving.
It was a 1960 model totally in bits, dismantled front suspension with missing upholstery and one and a half seats, due to loss in a garage fire.

 Volvo Adventures, New Zealand - Project PV544
He loaned me an excellent little book called VOLVO 1800 AND FAMILY by Andrew Whyte which has a photo of a racing PV in the States, this was the photo that really inspired me to build a hot PV544.
At the moment the 142 is also going to donate its front seats, with trepidation I chopped up the PV seats which were in reasonable condition with the intention of mounting the 142 seats on the PV rails.
As you can see in the photos Volvo’s policy of not changing things means the centre bearing on both driveshafts is in the same place.

 Volvo PV 544 History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In the late fifties a lot of people thought Volvo would replace the old-fashioned PV 444 or even retire it.
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.

Volvo launched the PV544 in 1958, but it wasn't an entirely new design.
The PV544 was a development of the earlier PV444, which was originally launched in the 1940's.
Seatbelts were standard on all Volvo's (which was unusual for cars in the 1950's), although they are not represented on this model.

The Volvo 444 is a 2 door model produced from 1947 to 1958.
The Volvo 444 Special is the more luxurious model and was also more performant toward the end of production when a dual carburetor engine was introduced.

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.
The wheels were definitely a mixed bag: the detail is very good and the chrome work here is terrific, but the application of the paint on the Volvo symbol in the center of the hubcap was horribly off on two of the wheels.
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.

It was just after this section that the Volvo began to ‘miss’ now and then, (don’t you dare do that way out here!) and after camping in the scrub by the side of the road I only managed 1 km next morning before it ‘quit’ altogether.
The Volvo was put on the back of a recovery truck and the caravan on behind for the 80km drive to Norseman.
No serious problems with the 23-year-old Volvo, apart from what I have described and we noted that it seemed to be the oldest car towing a caravan from what we saw and also one of only 2 Volvos we saw towing on the entire trip.

 4Car Feature - Swedish Classics - from Channel 4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
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.

Mike is an enthusiastic and skilled vintage racer and is usually seen racing his superfast formula V. He was intrigued by the advertisement of what sounded like quite a sorted race car.
This modification is necessary to avoid the inherent axle breakage and wheel-falling-off problem of the original Spicer tapered shaft variety (in racing conditions).

 1954 Volvo pv544 For Sale
The Volvo PV444 was so sporty that it was used extensively in competition — an activity disliked from the start by Assar Gabrielsson, who considered that it might harm Volvo’s image of safety.
However, the car’s success could not be halted and Volvo drivers were to drive it to victory in both track and rally events all over the world.
Although everybody expected the PV444 to be discontinued and superseded by the Amazon, its replacement was actually the more modern Volvo PV544.

It is always interesting when a conversation starts, "what are you driving?" The eyes usually glaze over when you reply, "Volvo PV544" but I guess "the Volvo" is just as accurate, there being only one.
That said, we've had some great responses to the car, with a lot of people glad to see us back this year.
