The seller offers for sale this 1964 Volvo PV544, a classic Swedish 2-door sedan that embodies solid engineering and timeless design. Finished in a fresh paint job completed four years ago, the PV544 displays an attractive and well-maintained exterior that reflects careful ownership and attention to detail. The seller notes only mild oxidation on some chrome trim, typical for a car of this age.

Under the bonnet sits a 1,800 cc four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual gearbox. Mechanically, the vehicle is rated as very good, running smoothly. All exterior lights and indicators are noted to function, and the car holds a valid Dutch APK inspection, indicating it is currently roadworthy. The car is reported to be free of rust and has not suffered accident damage.

Inside, the Volvo presents a good condition interior featuring a red upholstery combination of fabric and skai (vinyl). While structurally sound, the interior shows typical wear consistent with age and use. Some parts may eventually benefit from repair or replacement to enhance comfort and appearance further. .

The Volvo PV544 occupies a significant place in automotive history, representing a bridge between post-war design and the modern motoring era. Introduced as an evolution of the PV444, the PV544 debuted with a curved windscreen, improved interior ergonomics, and robust construction that quickly earned it a reputation for durability and reliability. The PV544 became popular both as a dependable family car and in motorsport, with its rugged mechanicals proving resilient under rally conditions. The combination of its distinctive styling, practical engineering, and spirited driving character helped cement Volvo’s reputation worldwide for producing safe and reliable vehicles.

This model’s appeal endures today among enthusiasts seeking a classic car that is both usable and collectible. The PV544’s simple mechanics make it accessible to maintain, while its unique shape and historical significance ensure it stands out at shows or on the road.
