Photos: Beloved Volvo

When Volvo announced in 1965 it would be discontinued they ran ads imploring PV owners not to be angry with the company.

George, I love this style Volvo, thanks.

I always wanted to do a real one in custom to look like a small 41/48 Ford. I think if done right it would be a great looking car. It has the right lines for the Fords.

My 6th grade gym teacher my Safety Patrol director had one just like it. And because...

... of its uniqueness, Mr. Smith was a favorite and quite popular among us car lover kids of which I was one.

Great model and a real good 1;1 car that made history in the U.S. as a dependable car that could last for 200 thousand miles unlike most cars of the time that would need a rebuild after 90 thousand.
