"A fine representative of the quintessential Volvo, known as the 'people's car,' a PV444 from the late forties and early fifties. The car that put the Swedish people on wheels during the economically prosperous fifties."

Description

It was delivered to its first owner, Karlstad Kolimport AB, in March 1953. With previous owners and the help of archives, a curious new owner can trace the history in more detail. In recent years, at least, the car has been in Dalarna before the current owner purchased it in the fall of 2022 from an estate in the Järvsö area. It was a result of a sort of childhood nostalgia; her mother used to drive a similar one when the owner was young. But she soon realized that it's also an old car to drive, as it sometimes happens. The last and thus final inspection was done on May 14, 2018.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    It starts easily and sounds good in the engine. The gearbox works fine, and the brakes engage smoothly. Probably, the clutch pedal hits some metal in the floor penetration, creating the sound that can be heard in the video.

  • Interior condition:

    Nice, intact, and clean interior. There must have been a seat cover in place for a significant part of the car's active time.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paint is possibly in its original condition, but at the very least, it's in its original cellulose finish. Some previous owner has attempted an imprudent polishing job, particularly damaging the paint on the roof. They've also tried to correct the over-polishing. Otherwise, the paint just needs a careful and skilled polishing if you want to restore the shine in the cellulose paint. Equipped with a roof-mounted antenna, radiator ornament, exterior mirrors, a sun visor, extra lights, and a large, fine 'S' emblem in metal on the rear hatch.

  • General condition:

    A sensible, road-ready, and charming old PV. The polishing damage on the roof can certainly be partially repaired with cellulose paint for authenticity.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
