This 1961 Volvo PV544 is finished in red over gray vinyl upholstery and powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes chrome-finished bumpers, pop-out rear quarter windows, steel wheels, a heater, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. The car was acquired by the seller in April 2022 and reportedly underwent cosmetic refurbishment under previous ownership. This PV544 is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The car was reportedly painted its current shade of red under previous ownership and features a left mirror, dual windshield wipers, pop-out rear quarter windows, rear fender stone guards, and chrome-finished bumpers with rear overriders. The trunk lid does not hold in the raised position. Bubbling paint is visible on the right door and rocker panel, and additional imperfections in the finish can be viewed in the gallery.
Red-finished 15″ steel wheels with polished trim rings and Volvo-stamped hubcaps are mounted with Nexen SB-802 tires. A spare is stored in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by drum brakes at all four corners.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in gray vinyl that extends to the door panels, contrasted by black carpeting. Other appointments includes a heater, a lockable glove compartment, a wooden shift knob, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, and front lap belts. The upholstery on the front seats is worn and shows tears, and a trunk compartment trim panel is missing. The seller notes sections of the floor panels were replaced under previous ownership.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a horn ring and frames a ribbon-style 120-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 27k miles, approximately 3,000 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 1.8-liter B18 inline-four is fitted with dual SU carburetors and sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
Corrosion is present on the underside components, and additional underbody photos are provided in the gallery below.
