"The entire vehicle exudes history. A beautiful time capsule, cared for by an owner who had the sense to preserve and drive it gently in its original condition. Everything is in excellent and well-restored shape."

Description

According to the information we’ve gathered, the car was originally sold abroad. Given that this was nearly 90 years ago, this cannot be confirmed with certainty. For further details, please refer to the Swedish National Archives. Due to the vehicle's age, the mileage cannot be guaranteed. The car underwent a full restoration approximately 20 years ago. It presents well with attractive paintwork and chrome details—though the headlight rims show minor rust at the top edges. The PV 52 was the more luxurious version of the PV 51, featuring a six-cylinder engine that offered significantly better performance and comfort. Subtle interior changes also contributed to a more upscale impression.

    The 3.7-liter six-cylinder engine runs quietly, smoothly, and well. The non-synchronized gearbox operates satisfactorily, though some adjustment is needed to shift without grinding. All other functions in the car work as they should.

  • Interior condition:

    Fully and thoroughly restored, with no details to remark on.

  • Exterior condition:

    Very few signs of use, but overall in excellent condition. This also applies to the underside of the car. We refer to the photos taken at the time of inspection for further details.

  • General condition:

    A well-preserved Volvo from a bygone era. A wonderful car overall, and one worth preserving for future generations—as a testament to Volvo's commitment to quality even 90 years ago.

Facts about the model

The Volvo PV52, introduced in 1938, was a significant model in Volvo’s history and marked a step forward in the company’s development of passenger cars. It was built on a platform similar to that of its predecessor, the PV51, but was equipped with a more powerful 3.7-liter straight-six engine, producing around 80 horsepower. This contributed to improved performance and driving experience.

The PV52 was characterized by its period-typical design, featuring streamlined lines and an elegant body. The car offered a spacious and comfortable interior, making it popular among both families and businessmen. With its robust construction and reliable engine, the Volvo PV52 quickly earned a reputation for durability and safety.

Although production of the PV52 ceased after just one year, it became an important part of Volvo’s heritage and helped establish the brand’s reputation for building reliable and high-quality vehicles. Today, the Volvo PV52 is a sought-after classic among car enthusiasts and collectors, who appreciate its historical significance and timeless design.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
