Volvo PV544 [x2]

Volvo PV544 was introduced in 1958 as an update to the PV444 (which dated back to 1944 and was brand's first unibody car). According to Volvo, the body was given a larger, convex windscreen together with a larger rear window to improve visibility. The interior featured a new dashboard with a padded upper half to improve interior safety. The speedometer was the "thermometer" type, a red strip showed the speed. The rear seat was remodelled to improve the level of comfort and provide space for an additional person compared to its predecessor. Until 1965 a number of 243 990 examples were built. Seeing such classics on streets is always a remarkable experience.
