Facts about the model

Volvo introduced their new "post-war car" PV 444 in September 1944, but it wasn't until February 1947 that the first cars were delivered. The model 444 was produced until 1957, followed by an upgrade with the PV 544 model offered as model years 1958-1966. Originally, the PV 544 had a B16 engine, but starting from model year 1962, it had a B18 engine. The Sport model got a slightly down-tuned P1800 engine and twin SU carburetors. The last PV 544 models were produced in the fall of 1965 and were sold as 1966 models, designated with the letter G. According to reports, there were 3,401 cars that were labeled as 1966 models, of which 345 were Sport models. The very last car was a black Sport, which went directly to the Volvo Museum. The PV 544 Sport was both a sought-after and powerful car for its time. In the Sport model with twin SU carburetors, the G model had 95 horsepower.
