    I used to own one in 1970-72. Wonderful car, loved the window shade in front of the radiator. DSame color, how cool, easily beat MGB's and corned with the best.

      I had a chance to test drive a PV544 in 1962. The car was VERY quiet and powerful for a small European car from that era. The ONLY problem I had was the blind spot created by the left "A" pillar, had to bend my head to see when making left turns. A shorter person might not have had an issue with the seat pulled up. A WONDERFUL, SOLID car!

    My first wife and I had a 1964(?) 544S, with twin SU's and a tachometer. What a sweet, pretty little car. Traded it for a 1970 142S with OverDrive and fuel injaction, but it wasn't as cute. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

    I used to see another blue one, but older model (from the 50s), with split rear & front windshields, during the mid-60s. I was a teenager student and every day of those 3 years of walking early to the junior high school, I crossed with that blue Volvo - either parked in front of the owner's house or just leaving home.

    Love this Volvo PV and the Amazon as well, very nicely built cars. Used to see a few of them in Uganda during my childhood. I read in one of the car magazines that the B18, 20 engines were bullet proof. The PV and Amazon raced in the East African Safari Rally.

      The Volvo P1800 was considered "unbreakable" by automotive journalists. It used the B18 engine, it was actually "half" of a 8cyl truck engine!

    She is a beautiful car, and I love that colour. Years ago the Volvo dealer we were using had a black P555 in the showroom. Asking about it, I was told it was a one owner car with a whopping 26,000 miles. The old lady traded it in on a new 242, and that the owner of the dealership had bought it himself. He was fair, I think. He gave you a brand new 242GL. Would still love to drive one

    When my mother learned to drive (officially), my father bought a well used 46 Ford 2 door sedan. Two years later a miniature 46 Ford pulled in the filling station where I worked. I have been enamored with that model Volvo ever since.
    Annem araba kullanmayı (resmi olarak) öğrendiğinde, babam iyi kullanılmış 46 Ford 2 kapılı bir sedan satın aldı. İki yıl sonra çalıştığım benzin istasyonuna minyatür bir 46 Ford girdi. O zamandan beri bu Volvo modeline aşığım.

    I owned a 1961 PV544 that I bought in northern Maine, USA in 1972 while in the US Air Force. Drove it home to North Carolina a trip of about 1100 miles without a problem. Decided to keep it doing most of the work myself though I did pull the engine for a full professional rebuild. Unfortunately the '61 was a 6vdc system with cursed SU side-draft somewhat leaky carbs though if I refrained from using the choke it was okay but keeping them balanced was bothersome. No rust and all body panels were in good shape with a color, I think, of gray beige a kind of off white. As various sections of the car are washed I go oh yeah I remember that having repaired, replaced or adjusted this thing or that. Loved that old car so simply and well made though lightly constructed before Volvo engineers thought of safety. Thanks for the memories.

    A friend of mine in high school had a Volvo like this and put Ford chrome reverse wheels on it because the pattern matched so why not? Looked pretty cool back in the early 70’s. I always thought it looked like a 48?Ford. I hope you thought to put a paper gasket around the wing nut on that air filter since it’s low enough to puddle water. Youwouldn’t want it sneaking down around the stud and ending up in the intake.That would make me a darn nice project! Good luck with it!
