1947 VOLVO PV444 Production Line

            In 1942 Volvo decided to develop an economical low prized family car. Engineers Helmer Petterson (Sweden, 1901-1980) and Erik Jern (Sweden, 1904-1949) were involved with the (technical) design.
This new Volvo was called PV444: PV stands for Person Vagn, and the number code: 4 seats, 4 stroke engine, 4 cylinders.

In 1944 the prototype was ready. In September 1944 it was shown to the public for the first time. The reactions were very positive and many cars were ordered. The first cars were not for sale until 1947.
Some characteristics for the very first model years: one-piece bumper bar, grille with horizontal strips, split front and rear window. The design was based on the latest American car fashion trends.

1414 cc L4 40/44 HP engine.
