The posting about the '51 444 is causing me to write that I know of a '53 444 for sale that I plan to look at next week. The owner says he bought it in Sweden in '82 & hasn't driven it much at all since but is in VG shape. Don't think he's a car guy - bought it 'cause it has white wall tires! Been garaged whole time he's had it. Sent me pics - it's black in color, but has no metal trim like you usually see on the fenders & belt line. My first Volvo was a '57 444 way back in the early sixties, so I know basically what to look for but right now without seeing it to me this '53 looks sooo plain & utilitarian. Do others feel the same or is it just me? It has the B4b engine, one carb & 3 spd. tranny. If the car hasn't been beaten or rusted out would this be an attractive PV? Thanks.
