Happy Sundae oldduke,
Yeah, the 444-544, some may say, looks like a 3/4 sized Ford of about the same of a few years earlier. The run for the series was from teh end of WWII to the mid-1960s, replaced by the 110s, 120s, & 130s. (I very much like both these series. Volvo epitomized the people's car so much more than VW ever did or will. As for today .... well, no RWD Volvo auto.)
They had the early ohv redblocks with manual and I think some of the first autos in RWD Volvo.
I read Onkel's article on his want of a newer, sportier car. I keep thinking I'll go Toyota Camry or Subaru Forester. With manual transmission. No need to go fast for me. As I've never been married, yet like Volvos, and like Womankind. Maybe womankind is turned off by boxy but good? Well, no more boxy. I guess the Scion cars with the giant hamsters driving them you see on telly.
You can see images in these wikipedia articles.

While durable, they were not large, yet roomy, like a TARDIS, and so were quite light. The PV444/544 series did well in competition. (Now that Volvo no longer competes itself ....)
Back in the war? Do you mean Volvo auto? Tanks? Like real tanks or Volvos autos?
Thank you.
Happy Sundae!
kittys grey volvo 240 may not own a volvo sometime soon.
