The Volvo PV is a series of two-door, four-passenger car models — the PV444 and the #PV544 — made by #Volvo from 1947 to 1966. During World War II"s early stages, Volvo decided that a new, smaller car that could deliver good fuel economy would assure the company"s future. A raw materials shortage during the war drove home the point that an automobile should be smaller, and also complicated Volvo"s ability to mass-produce the product. In 1944, when the car was finally introduced to a car-hungry public, response was very positive and orders poured in from the Swedish population. It was another three years though, until 1947, before series production began.
