There had been an advertisement for ABC's new series 'No Ordinary Family' that showed a 544 in one shot. Well I watched the show last night and there it was. It's in the first couple of minutes when the family is at 'rural airport' in Brazil. It's in two shots, each is only about 3 seconds long and about 10 seconds apart. The car is on the background. It's a light tan colored car with darker brown front fender. It looked to have the 'swallow' symbol on the side of the front so I would guess it was a '59-'61. Did think to look and see if it had the towel bars on it. Odd are the show was filmed in southern California so does someone know this car?

There has just been today a movie on Australian TV - 'Mousehunt'(1997) starring Nathan Lane, Lee Evans, Vicki Lewis & Maury Chaykin - which features a 444-544 of some sort. Not exactly a frontline film but interesting for the fact that it features the car

It's amazing how many times an old Volvo shows up on the big (or little) screen.
It drives my family crazy when I spot these things.

I know the feeling. I am always yelling out "Hey, that's a ____S I used to have one of those."

My son pointed out (what looked like) the front half of a red 544 on Top Gear last night (season finale) when Richard and James were walking through the old TVR factory. Had a towel rack front bumper so I assume it made it's way over from the US. Why it was there is a mystery, maybe the guy that owns the old building owns it or ....?

Last night's show was one of their better shows.

Kudo's to your sharp eyed son! I also noted the strange visitor in the TRV ghost town. Had a nice set of driving lights mounted as well. Would like to see one of the UK board members investigate this to see if it is a Driver or not.
