    My Aunt Fern used to take care of me as a toddler, and we would go out in a Volvo probably the exact same year/model except it was silver. I remember I was infatuated with the speedometer that went left to right, and we would take a back road from their farm thru the woods over to the next farm and then it came out on a main road and we would continue on to our small town (Walton, NY) for shopping etc. Never forget that car as a favorite memory. My Uncle was in WWII and was a paratrooper and his arm was shot while on a maneuver and landing over Italy. When he came back home, he owned Volvo's, and also raced Hudson Hornets in stock car races. He saw Volvo's in Europe and became a believer and always had at least 2 in his repertoire well into the 80's. My uncle was injured as a paratrooper but went on to be a farmer, a race driver, an over the road trucker of milk products, and then a mechanic of large trucks for the same firm. I miss them they were amazing influences of my childhood and I'll never forget the old Volvo's!

    Hi, i live in Sweden about 20 miles from the Volvo factory in Gothenburg! I had a 1963 544 Special 2 as my first car in 1977. It had a slighty different instrument cluster and different hub caps. It was only 14 years old then but i had to do a lot of welding according to rust, then it was painted midnight blue. It was a fun and for the time fast car, top speed 100 miles per hour but the drum brakes was not so good, This car you found is a unicorn a ceeper. Rustfree and nobody has messed it up. I heard that your wife have relatives in Lindsborg, i have friends in Lindborg and have been there 3 times since 1988. Next time will be June 2025 :)

    The first car I bought right out of high school in 1967 was a 1959 Volvo almost exactly like this one. Red paint with twin carburetors and a screen in front of the radiator you could pull up in cold weather by a chain under the dash on the left side. The only difference I could see was mine had two tone seats. There was a horizontal seam about half way up the back of the seat, the top of the back was white and the rest was red. I paid $450 for it. I hope you have fun with it!

    Congrats!! I got the same, 62 model, all original also with a B18 , also under 100000 km directly out the swedish woods, with the original gravel road dust. Fantastic car, my only daily driver without ANY breakdowns or repairs . Sold it, when my daughter was born a few years later ,and i regret it so much. It was grey-blueish color, original shiny paint. No rust, cold winters with lots of snow, but no salt there, never. They used spike tires back then instead. I remember the rubber floor , but i had to saw a new headliner, did it by myself. Still got the original fabric. I had to give a chunk of fluid led as add on with each gas refill, and i already had the first not radial tires. "25 kms away was a teacher, had his own Volvo specialized workshop, had every thinkable spare parts in stock., but i only needed brake pads, once, oil changes and valve controls, but never adjustments. And the suspension linkages still had to lubed regularly.Just like you, i literally jumped for joy, when i got first. A like your, it was already left hand drive, although Sweden was still driving on the left, changed that i believe in one night in 67!!!!!!!!!! No other country tried that, they did.

    That was my first car. Bought an early '60s one in 1969 for $500. Red like that, but not as pretty. That was back when Volvo built its cars for the Swedish lifestyle, which in those days meant bad roads and (of course) colder than hell. You could get it with two wool plaid lap robes ... blankets, basically ... which may have been only an option, not sure. All 544s came with a little pull chain on the dashboard. It was for raising a roller blind (like an old-fashioned roller window shade) over the radiator, to help the engine warm up faster in arctic winters. Famously durable four-banger B18 engine (with two British SU carbs!) ... an engine that powered farm tractors all over Europe. Went like a bat out of hell, which is why I called it the Batmobile. Badly rusted underneath ... a front wheel fell off while I was waiting for a red light to change.Coolest car I ever had for sure. Don't sweat the cracked plastic dashboard top ..... every one I ever saw has that. Guess Swedes didn't understand North American summer heat. Or maybe they used Soviet plastic.Volvos had seatbelts with shoulder straps before anybody in America even knew what they were.

    I bought a 1963 Volvo 544 P18 when I decided to go to law school. The first week of law school in Washington, DC, I parked it in front of the law library and went to class. When I returned someone had ice picked the tires on every car on that street. I borrowed a car , put the car on cinder blocks and went to a tire store to get them patched. I had spent just about all my money on books and tuition. When I returned with the inflated/repaired tires, I saw I guy under the Volvo trying to remove the drive shaft. I got my tire iron from the trunk, and chased him down the street. Then I had to put it all together and put the tires back on the Volvo. What an adventure! It was a great car with a strong engine.

    In 1963, I bought my father‘s 1961 Volvo PV 544. We drove that car from Corvallis, Oregon to the little town of Logan Iowa when it was brand new. Cruised between 70 to 80 miles an hour on the open highway. The only problem it had was going through the small towns when the temperature was pushing 100°. We discovered that the radiator was not nearly as large as American cars. Unhooked the hood latch as soon as we slow down and the wind coming through the front and out the back of the hood turned it into enough of an air /water cooled car that we could hold the temperature to a high normal. When I bought it, I drove it like the college student I was and even ran it in autocrosses. Top speed was actually right at 100 mph. I would give my teeth to have that old 1961 PV 544 back again, my only concernwould be the fact that it would be driven by an 80-year-old man who probably would be wise to remember his age as I’m not quite as quick as I used to be. Really appreciated seeing your new car.

    Your PV544 surely is one of the best world wide, you have bought an amazing example of these classics - very little effort will take this to Concours Condition! I worked for Volvo dealerships as a mechanic from 1977 to 1982 and know this era Volvo's very well. Used to own a 1957 PV444, a 1963 PV544, a 1964 PV544, a top tuned PV544 with 200HP and a 1970 Amazon (last of the line). I think you should drive the car and have lots of fun with it, enjoy the attention it is going to get at car meets. It will be the most reliable classic car you will ever own. Only sell it if you face destitution one day ....😀

    The PV 544 was one of the best cars ever built. I think Volvo stopped production of them because they needed to move on to newer cars to keep their factories going. The PV 544 was a great design and the drive train was bullet prof. The engine is a master price, An Icon. The PV's will still be running strong long after 95% of the new cars built today have been recast cast pots and pans.

      They stopped production of it in 1965 mostly because of sales dropping off and people wanting a more modern looking car, it was in simultaneous production with the 122 Amazon from 56 to 65 and apart from the frame and the chassis it's pretty much the same car. some changes in gearboxes, axles and the addition of disc brakes excluded that same recipie stayed the same all the way up to the 70s.
      Much of the old production equipment was actually bought out here in Sweden so there's still spare parts and sheet metal production being done to supply the after market to this day.

    Replace the fuel line(s) to the su carbs- it gets cooked because it's directly above the exhaust.. if it fails, drips on the exhaust and will catch on fire.
    My Dad commuted in a 63 sport 544 for years in the bay area and this happened to him
    Gave me the car when I got my license.. did not appreciate it for what it was, Great little tough car.
    I believe this model was the first car to be sold in the us with lap seat belts as standard equipment
    Maybe the 444

    Of all classic Volvo's, this is a home run! Don't sell it, keep it and get some survivor best of shows at VCOA, Radwoods, etc. If you do want to flip it, DM me. I've had P1800S, P1800ES, 122S, 123GT, Amazon wagon ... everything but this 49 Ford knockoff. Guessing it's an early B18 with 12v? Congrats, every dog has his day and this one was for you ...
