 Up for auction or sale I am offering a 1958 Volvo PV-444.


...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.

12 new cars that will never go out of style

Tue, Nov 23 2021

Some cars never go out of style. It’s rare, but it happens. They get old. They get depreciated. But they never stop looking cool.  Some might call them modern or instant classics. Within a few years theyÂ’re no longer the latest and greatest, no longer the flavor of the month, but they remain special. Eternally special. Timeless.  These cars arenÂ’t necessarily going to be worth a fortune someday. However, some may not depreciate as rapidly or as far as other models. But thatÂ’s not what weÂ’re talking about here. These are the cars that enthusiasts will always find desirable from the curbside. TheyÂ’re the cars you end up shopping on eBay late at night 10 years later because you canÂ’t get them out of your head. TheyÂ’re the cars that will forever excite you when you spot a clean one in traffic or in a parking lot.  There are plenty of recent examples over the past couple of decades that could count as instant design classics. But then we got to thinking, what 2021 models will be forever cool to stare at? Which new cars and trucks on sale today will we be shopping on eBay late at night in the 2030s? We kept supercars and other ultra-expensive cars off the list to keep things within the realm of attainability, and ended up with 12 total cars. Lexus LC WeÂ’re not applying a numerical ranking to any of the cars on this list, but if we were, the Lexus LC would be No. 1. There isnÂ’t another car design out there that can stir our emotions the way an LC can when itÂ’s just standing still. This car is a concept design come true in the most beautiful of ways, and itÂ’s a shoo-in winner for Concours events decades into the future. All of this heaping praise, and we havenÂ’t even gotten to the LC 500Â’s intoxicating 5.0-liter V8. It doesnÂ’t win drag races. It wonÂ’t be the fastest around the track against any similarly-priced competition. But none of that matters. ItÂ’s quite possibly the best car you can buy new, and that says it all when it comes to the LC. Chevrolet Corvette It might not be the stunner that the Lexus LC is, but the new C8 Corvette is and will always be a special vehicle. ItÂ’s the first mid-engine Corvette, which instantly cements it into an automotive hall of fame section of sorts. All of the performance stats and specs are there to back up its supercar-like looks, and it remains the best performance bargain on sale today.

Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.

Wagons make a bit of a comeback, with new models, sales on the rise

Thu, Jan 10 2019

Consider this an official invitation to hop on the wagon bandwagon. There's still tons of room because, well, it's a wagon (and market share is still extremely small). But according to new data, the segment is growing. According to a report from Bloomberg, using data from Edmunds.com, roughly 211,600 Americans purchased wagons in 2018. That is technically down from the 237,600 sold in 2017, but wagon sales in the U.S. are up 29 percent from where they were five years ago. It's also the third year in a row that wagon sales broke the 200,000 mark. The sales trends have been somewhat representative of the availability of wagons. New models have debuted during the past 5 years and therefore offer more opportunity at more brands to buy wagons. In addition to more modest cars such as the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen, several luxury and performance brands are offering wagons today, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Volvo and Buick. (Bloomberg's headlines make the point that "crossovers are for the Kardashians," and wagons are just, well, classier.) This uptick in brand-name availability, as well as extremely well-executed design on most of the wagons currently available, has helped increase the segment's desirability. That, and its ability to better accomplish the same tasks at hand while standing out from the crossover and SUV crowd. Still, the posted numbers represent a small fraction of the total vehicles sold. According to the data, wagons only held a 1.4 percent market share in 2017, the segment's best recent year. Wagons hold a steadfast place in America's past, and they're writing an interesting new story. With the downturn in traditional cars, they may continue to create an unexpected narrative.
