Bill, That's exactly what I was thinking! That equates to 5-6 MPG, prolly why they only made 500 of them. Too bad I love the 40's Willy look. Drop a 350 in it and improve your milage...hey. Those Norskies are rolling in North Sea oil I guess. Flashlight
Fuel usage I forgot to tell that one swedisch mile is exact 10 km. So it is`nt that bad. Regular petrol 95 octane cost about 13 Skr. a liter = 2 dollars and 100 cent. Martinius.
When I was a teenager my parents had a couple different PV-544s from '58 to '63. You can see the resemblance around the windshield and upper part of the doors. Cool.
Sweden Saw a few of these volvo's while out in sweden, thought they were cool trucks, like a lot of the older volvo stuff
Sweet ! Easy to see they cribbed the grille & fenders from an American design , to me it looks like ly old 1939 Dodge sedan . I want to see pictures of the blue bus behind it...... You have some really cool Commercial Rigs there , Martinus .
