Volvo, Gothenburg, Sweden. The PV544 was an evolution of the PV444 and was produced from 1958 to 1966. It was a two door small economical four seater saloon. The PV544 had a successful rallying career. Perhaps, the most famous was the Singh brothers' victory in the 1965 Safari Rally. However, Gunnar Andersson and Gunnar Trana had already won numerous other rallies before this including the Rally of Sweden, the Acropolis Rally, the RAC rally and the 1,000 lakes Rally. Both won the European Rally Championship in a Volvo. The car was also used with some success in circuit racing.
