The PV 544 succeeded the PV 444 in August 1958, conceived as a robust and versatile machine to meet the extreme Scandinavian conditions, it boasts a delightfully North American style, indeed it bears more than a passing resemblance to the character of pre-war Fords or Chevrolets, the finish is equally impressive and makes it particularly appealing. Its rear quarters, its magnificent dashboard shouldn't leave you unmoved, the easy and reassuring driving experience completes the package to give you a fresh experience unique to classic cars.
Launched at the time to rival the BMW 1800 ti and other Giulias, the available power outputs of 60, 75 or 90 bhp will also resonate strongly with any Porsche 356 enthusiast! Indeed, unassuming as it may seem, this brilliantly engineered motor came to dominate the rallying scene of the 1950s-60s, this marvellous 1778cc four-cylinder in-line engine would therefore rack up an impressive rally record but also the longevity record across all cars, as a reminder Irv Gordon covered over 5 million kilometres with this engine at the wheel of his magnificent P 1800 Volvo.
Its solid reliability, good interior space, excellent handling and carefully engineered safety levels are also the strengths of this Swedish motor, already in 1958 safety was a concern for the Volvo brand, this car was the first production car to be equipped with a three-point seatbelt, its wider convex windscreen, the larger rear window improving visibility, the secured steering column and the dashboard which featured a padded upper section demonstrate the research into this subject.
Very rare in this condition, a must-have for collectors!
