Do a google search for - 544 EPA Traktor - then to images to see some neat 544s customized so that teens can drive them!

They must only have two seats, two gears and limited to 22 MPH. This classifies them as tractors.

In you tube, search for - Wheeler Dealers EPA Traktor - look at both of the whaler Dealer videos to see an explanation of what they are.

Some of the other videos are good also.

Have you ever seen Volvo Sno Race on Youtube?

I used to drive a 65 pv544 in High school,1973 It was a LOT offun!!!
too bad I didnt buy it from my brother & fix it up The windows woudnt stay up & it had little heat & so during NJ winters I became very used to the cold.
It leaked brake fluid & had little brake s & so I learned NOT to follow too close to cars in front.
The windshield wipers never worked & I got used to focusing beyond the windshield & it wasnt a problem

Oldduke wrote--"love that picture of an old Volvo coupe on the summary page of brickboard messages. looks like a 40 ford." The 544 looks like a 1940 Ford because that's the era in which they were designed. The 544 being the 5th revision of a model first introduced in 1944. Volvo sedans of the 1930's showed the obvious influence of American cars and the 444/544 were a continuation of that trend. My first Volvo (in 1975) was a '65 544 with a very healthy B18. It was fun to drive and I even autocrossed it -- but by today's standards (or even by 1970's 240 standards) it is crude in terms of needed maintenance, ventilation, outward vision, etc., etc. Still one of my favorite cars ever. -- Dave

so before my dad bought that 1954 Baby Blue Plymouth that I posted earlier somewhere, He drove a Packard. I was 4 when he sold it, but I still remember the Sunday drives....running boards, front to rear opening back doors.

closest pic I cud find online. His was a 1943, they stopped production after that beacuse of WWII for 2 yrs so there was no '43 -'45 made

Running is not the issue...Not RustedOut is.
any Volvo pre 240 was powered by a Tractor Engine...AKA an inline overhead valve PushRod engine. The last was the B20...as you go back in time the number drops..B18 etc.

any of those can be dropped into the Body

Visit the other Subs on this Board from the head page RWD 444-544 is what you're looking for.

Your chances of finding one running are directly proportional to how much you're willing to spend. Easy peasy if you can write the check, as with most things.

Go to brick pix and select 444-544 to see many pages great pictures of these cars.

Go to page 6 about half-way down to see Beetlebomb, my '68 544 - not restored, just a survivor.

He has a B20 engine, rebuilt transmission and carbs.

He is dressed in his Fire Department costume for our town's 350th anniversary Fourth of July parade.

Note a siren, red light, and whip antenna. The FIRE signs are magnetic.

I also have a taxi cab costume that includes a roof-top sign, a meter and checkered stripes.

He is a hoot to drive!
