The PV445 was built from September 1949 until July 1960. Then came the P210 from August 1960 until February 1969.
As far as the PV445 is concerned, exports to the USA started early 1957 when the 445L with B16B engine was introduced.
In 1956 the 444KS 'California' had already been exported to the USA, which had a tuned 70 BHP (SAE) version of the standard 1414 cc B4B engine, called the B14A. This was after an English driver at the wheel of a Volvo PV in American races had helped to swell the demand for this particular car. Before that however, in 1955 there should have been already a few PV cars of the 444HS type that went to the USA and those must have been the very first.
Ted, I will send you detailed and separate listings for the 445/210 by e-mail.
