Re: Drum brakes to disc brakes 444-544 1959

Great post by Peter. I understand there were a few 1966 PV544s sold in the US by Volvo, and I have heard these cars had disc brakes. I doubt the parts are still available, but a dealer parts book might be of some help.

The drum brakes on the PV544 were the same as used on some Studabakers and Ramblers, both which were substantially heavier than the PV544. I found the brakes to be very adequate compared to others cars at the time, but I never had a failure. PV544 drum brake parts and shock have been quite difficult to source for some time, so the disc brake conversion along with a shock update would be great.
