Google--Australian "Sloper" style vehicles from the late 30's. Ford, Dodge had 'em, and the body was a match for the 444-544's , down to the side window shape, not "humpy" like our 40-48 Ford sedans. I read this on a Swedish website years back--quoting Volvo folks as the source. If anyone finds a picture, post it here--Sloper is it.

My first Volvo as a kid was a'57 444 with "banjo" grille,3=speed,b-16,from a funky car lot for $345.00. I beat that little car hard and after a year, the ONLY expense was one fan belt for 5 bucks. Great ride!! Those early bucket seats were flat and my girlfriend could straddle that long shifter and shift and things. Tough, great cars, still got one, a '59 445 wagon which will live!!

I believe many of us have medium to long term projects==Long live the Brickboard!! Best Regards, Ken in FLA
