Running boards on a PV? 444-544

posted by  someone claiming to be Erik on  Sat Jan 11 11:06 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Yesterday while shopping I came out to an old guy looking in my car window, and he had to share his story of owning one...blah blah blah. He insisted that running boards came with the car,that they mounted on the jack points, and my car was missing them. Has anyone ever seen running boards on a PV? Were they an aftermarket or dealer option? Or did this guy confuse it with a 40's Ford? Just wondering.
Thanks,
Erik

    No; there was never any boards on PV 444 or 544. For a look on how the models evolued, have a look at http://www.norskvolvopvklubb.no/, then click "Endringer" (means "changes") for the different models. Suppose most of you won't get much out of the text which is in norwegian, but some of the photos are cool. In fact the exterior changed very little from 1944 to 1965, the most radical change was in 1958 when the split window disappeared when Volvo turned the 444 into the 544. Far more happened under the shell, motors, interior, suspension, brakes, steering etc. etc. changed runningly throughout these years.

    I'm pretty sure he was confused... I've never seen even a picture of a 544 with boards... Though, it would look cool, and maybe a previous owner of his car cobbled something together using VW bug running boards or something....

    Definitely not stock though, and I'm pretty sure there was no such option. S'pose I could be wrong though.
