Borrowed heavily from Volvo’s first uni-body car PV444, which in turn was borrowed from German made Hanomag 1.3 (this model was imported by Volvo engineers to study), the PV445 was a variant that was put in to use as an estate car (stationwagon), van and also as a small truck.
Chassis and engines were also offered to Swedish coachbuilders such as VALBO Karosseriefabrik, Nordberg Karosseriefabrik and Ringborg Karosseriefabrik.
In 1953, VALBO Karossseriefabrik based in Gävle, Sweden built ten exclusive convertibles for their clients. This metal scale model is a rendition of the same.
