...About me and my Volvo Driving History
I began driving Volvo's when I was 16 years old. I took my first driving test in my Mom's 1980 244 DL. I am 45 years old now! Since then I have been driving Volvo's almost exclusively and now drive a Robbin's Egg Blue 1986 Volvo 245. I have owned many Volvo's including: the P-1800, The ES(P-1800 Station Wagon), 145's, 122's(Wagon), 544's and the PV-444. It seems that most of all I love the 240 series. I am certian that I will drive a Volvo till the day I die. Who knows I might die in my Volvo! Passing Over into the next world in my Volvo sounds pretty fine!

 
 I purchased the 1958 Volvo PV-444 That I am selling 18 years ago. This is the last Volvo in a collection of many except my current 1986 Volvo 245. I drove the 1958 Volvo PV-444 around for the first few years in Northern Colorado. It was a dream car that turned heads! People asked "what kind of car is that?". I have stored the car in my Sister's Garage for the last 12 years. My Sister just sold her house in Littleton, Colorado and is closing on Monday May 19th. My Dad told me that the Volvo would have to be moved on Monday(May 19th). The car is presently located in Highlands Ranch, CO(Near C-470 & Broadway). If I do not show or sell this car in the next 5 days it will be moved to Northern Colorado(Loveland). I am a motivated seller, but willing to take my time selling off this car over the summer months. I know this is a collector's car in today's car market!
Only a few Volvo PV-444's made it to this country. The Numbers out there are low and that is what makes it a collectible car. I have been told it is a Rare Bird!
 
...About the 1958 Volvo PV-444
 The name 444 means: four-seater, 4 cylinder car and 40 horsepower. US models, beginning to appear in the US  in early 1956 received an uprated version called the B14A which was given twin side-draught 11/2 inch SU CARBURETTORS for a total of 70 hp. Since I simply stored the vehile in my Sister's garage for 12 years(Hard on A Car) I had to prepare and work on the car before just turning the key and firing it up. First I had to clean the old gas out of the tank. This was the nastiest job I have ever encountered in my whole life. Old Gas is super nasty stuff!!! I removed the gas tank and cleaned it out by removing all old gas first and then letting it dry out for a few days or a week. I then shook and removed any debris in the bottom of the Gas Tank. All The way down to the very fine dust. I could no longer get any debris or rust dust out of the tank by shaking it or swishing it out. A lot of debris was removed from the tank and then I remounted the tank and got some freshy fresh gas. I drained the Radiator and replaced new Anti-Freeze. I changed the Oil and Oil Filter. I purchased a new 6 Volt Battery and prepared for the firing up event! The car started up with the assistance of Starting Fluid. It now seems to require starting fluid sprayed into the SU carburettors to get the engine up and running. Once it is up and running it seems to run fine. I feel like this car just needs some more TLC and hands on care and more actual driving and usage, then the PV-444 would be Happy and Stoked. When the vehicle is up and running it is a very fun and responsive car to drive. Since I got the car running again the Water Pump is now leaking. I have heard that letting a car sit for years is hard on it and things start going wrong after it is fired up again. Parts and Seals can begin to break down after it is up and running after a period of rest. I have driven the car around the neighborhood and the greater amount of the car seems to be working or at least mainly original. I have not run the car a whole lot since it has no insurance, license plates or is not registered with the state. The original car seats were recovered at some point in Brown. I have an extra set of 544(white & red...seen in pictures) seats that are included with the purchase. I have a few other 544 and 444 parts included with the sale(Listed Below). The car itself has 98,000 miles on odometer(cannot tell if these are actual actual miles). The odmeter is working! The car ran like a top for me when I it was first purchased it and seemed to have the actual miles that are registered on the odometer. The Body is in Fair condition with some visible dents and scratches after 56 years. The car has been repainted. Not original paint. The Bumpers are in Fair to Poor shape. Bumpers show bends and surface rust in some places. The Fenders and Body of the car also show some lighter rust in spots near edges.The Floor Pans have been rusted out at some point in time. I cut out the worst rust on the Floor Pans years ago with a SAWS-ALL. All 4 floor pans are holes to the ground(Fred Flinstone Style) and in need of serious metal work repair(...See Pictures). The overall condition of the car is Fair to Good! The car is sold "AS-IS". These car's in Mint condition can fetch $10.000 or more. This one is NOT in Mint Condition. It is a 58 year old Volvo in need of a kind and loving home and driver. I am avaliable through eBay Messaging Service. I can show the car over the next five days. I will then be showing and selling the car out of Loveland(Northern Colorado-approx. 60 miles north of Denver). Next week I might have a cell phone number to provide to any potential buyer. The car is located near Arapahoe Rd and I-25(...south of Denver) for the next 5 days. Please feel free to ask any questions or make arrangments to see this Classic 1958 Volvo PV-444.

Watch this video, then buy this 1993 Volvo wagon

Mon, 12 May 2014

Do you want to be perceived as rich and cuddly? Of course you do. Then you need to buy this car.
We know it makes no sense, but that pretty much sums up our take on the video you'll see below, in which a man by the name of Christoffer Castor, from Scania County in Southern Sweden, attempts to convince any and all who watch to buy his car. The car in question is a 1993 Volvo 240 wagon, in red with a black fabric interior.
We have quite a bit of respect for the old boxy Volvo wagons here at Autoblog, and, despite the presence of some unsightly rust on the tailgate, would gladly bum about in this particular 240. We especially appreciate the five-speed manual gearbox and that it's from the car's final year in production.

Volvo previews Concept XC Coupe ahead of Detroit reveal [w/video]

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Volvo is in the midst of a three-stage design revolution. The first stage came with the reveal of the Concept Coupe in Frankfurt just this past September. What you see here is our first glimpse at the second stage.
The Volvo Concept XC Coupe previewed here will be unveiled in full on January 8 in advance of the Detroit Auto Show. While the previous concept was all sleek, the Concept XC Coupe takes a more rugged, utilitarian approach with a hatchback roofline, higher ride height, knobbier tires, lower body cladding and a rooftop box. From what we can see, it looks like a cross between the previous concept and an XC70 wagon that could preview a soft-road replacement for the C30 hatchback.
That's about all there is to say at this point, but you can scope out the press release along with the video below and the trio of teaser images in the gallery above.

Volvo and Ericsson to take Spotify on the road

Thu, 27 Dec 2012

Volvo is working to bring Spotify to its vehicles. Ericsson has announced it will provide its Connected Vehicle Cloud service to Volvo for future products, and Spotify streaming music is part of that service. Like Toyota Entune and other infotainment services, the Connected Vehicle Cloud will use the driver's smartphone as a modem to stream music and serve as a base for other applications, all of which will be controllable through the vehicle interface. Expect to see the service launch in 2014, though Ericsson stresses later generations will feature an embedded modem with its own SIM card that will piggyback off of the owner's phone data plan.
But that system won't show up in production vehicles until at least 2016. In the interim, Ericsson says it will continue to work with government agencies on its car-to-car communication efforts. That program could eventually help pave the way toward autonomous road trains capable of helping vehicles travel safely together while also reducing traffic congestion. Wired has a full break down of the Connected Vehicle Cloud strategy. You can read it here.
