This one was made in 1929, with a length of 4,4 metres and the width 1,72 metres.
(My small camera did not feel comfortable with the light there.)
This cars trunk really is a trunk.
The PV65 series was the third model series Volvo built, and it consisted of 12 models. It was Volvos first car with a 6-cylinder engine, with the effect 55hp. 3.665 of them were built 1929-37. The 'most usual' was the PV652, 1.549 cars 1930-33, and the 'most unusual' model PV656 (a chassis model of PV658 with standard wheelbase 295cm) with 16 cars 1935-36.
First I present two cars where I only have the info that they are of model PV650.

The other one is from 1930.
Hmm. Would be nice to have a hot rod with this front.
This PV650 is a more useful car. With a weight of 2500 kg and a length of 4,75 metres, it can carry 780 kg.
A sturdy construction.
Wonder why I like it a bit extra?

PV655:
The 62 produced PV655s were sold as chassis, and got various bodies from local coachmakers.
A Volvo PV655 from 1934.
The body was built at Katrineholms Karosserifabrik.
The interior is the original one, well preserved.
In 1934-35 62 were built. This is the only one left, I was told.
I'm thankful to those who take care of some of the old vehicles.
Parked beside a Volvo TR704.
PV655 convertible, 1933. Nice to see.
PV657:
This model was sold as chassis with lengthened wheelbase, 355cm. 55 were made 1935-36, and mostly used for ambulance bodies. But, one of them became a special convertible.
This 4-door 7-seater convertible was built for the Swedish King Gustaf V, as a car used mostly for hunting. The coach was built by G Nordbergs in Stockholm.
