"Nicely renovated and moderately modernized."

Description

Sold new to Nymanbolagen in December 1947. After its period as a company car there, it eventually ended up in storage in 1968 and later fell out of the register. The car had been properly stored and had begun to be rebuilt a few years ago. The only rust discovered was a small patch on the floor.

The renovation deviated from the original blueprint, with a modern B18 engine with a gentler trim, modern disc brakes with a two-circuit brake system, and air suspension, among other things. Since the renovation, the car has travelled 220 kilometres.

Both the car's history and the renovation have a lot of documentation. The metre was most likely zeroed during the renovation, and the total driving distance is unknown.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Many upgrades have been used to create a PV that is suitable for today's pace and traffic. Under the hood, a recently rebuilt B18 engine with low mileage. According to the owner, the replacement engine had little over 19,000 kilometres. It has new bearings, a D-camshaft, piston rings and water pump. The engine is mated to a modern rear axle from a 1963 PV544 with an M40 gearbox.

    Ford Scorpio struts and vented disc brakes are used on the front trailer. Wilvood 2 "master cylinder with two-circuit brake system.
    The Saab 900's disc brakes are used at the back. The car's height may be adjusted thanks to air suspension and manual valves. Rubber, bushings, and more are all new

  • Interior condition:

    All of the upholstery and headliner are new, and are produced in a similar style to the original, but with a slightly different composition and material. There have been a few minor changes, but the overall interior has remained essentially unchanged. Instrument panel and controls have been meticulously restored and detailed. Jige renovated the gauges. The car has both electric windows and a sound system, and it has seat belts in the front. The interior is warm and inviting.

  • Exterior condition:

    All rubber and seals have been replaced, and the paintwork is of a high standard. The bumpers were painted in the same colour as the car, which goes well with the car's modified/renovated character. In excellent condition, including the grill, taillights, and handles. Furthermore, the ventilation windows have been eliminated, giving the room a cleaner appearance. Light green tinted windows have also been fitted.

  • General condition:

    It's only been driven 220 kilometres since the renovation, and everything is in excellent shape. All of the changes are done in a tasteful and discrete manner, and the warm light yellow paint is high-end and looks great on a car of this kind.

Facts about the model

Redan 1944 premiärvisades Volvo PV 444 vid en visning på Kungliga Tennishallen i Stockholm. Bilen var dock långt ifrån körbar och produktionen kom att dröja ända till 1947 på grund av stora utmaningar med strejker och att få tag i plåt. När allt äntligen rullade igång hade man redan sålt 10 000 bilar av 12 000 planerade.

Utöver några mycket sällsynta undantag fanns PV 444 A bara i svart med gul och grön inredning med den så karaktäristiska instrumentbrädan. Från början fanns tankar på att PV444 skulle få V8 och framhjulsdrift men istället blev det konventionell drivning bak och den nyutvecklade fyrcylindriga B4B-motorn med treväxlad H1-låda.

Karossen var starkt USA-influerad och gjordes för första gången i Volvos historia självbärande. I september 1950 kom efterträdaren PV 444 B.
