(Swe: Two purposes, carrying goods or people) I didn't expect to see this in the U.S., but apparently a few examples did reach over there https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/1964-volvo-p210 . Quite a long reach from the sporty image crated by the other models Volvo sold on export markets, almost always using twin carburettors.

However it discusses the PV544 saloon until imports stopped late 65, and gives the Volvo grille badge as a 65 change, along with losing the upper bumper bar. So this looks a 65 only car.

It does have a stamp from a dealer in the state of Utah: Link to "www.worthpoint.com" -- Last edit: 2021-09-25 02:10:51
