0 Comments

 
The label WhiteBox has released several weeks ago a Volvo 164 as well as a Volvo P1800ES. Both scale models come in typical colors from their era - the late 1960's and early 1970's. Those models are identical to the models which most of you will know from the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas. The main difference are the different colors. Each model is packed in black and white window cardboard box hence the name under which these models are being sold. Both Volvo's are 1:43 scale models made of diecast and featuring some plastic parts. They are manufactured by Ixo in China. You can buy either one for 21.95 €.

Volvo PV654 by Editions Atlas

5/12/2015

5 Comments

 
The number fifty-five in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo PV654 from 1933. The PV654 was Volvo's first 'luxury' car. It was in fact an upgraded PV653. The PV654 was fitted with an uprated interior, twin fender mounted spare tires, twin chrome plated horns and twin rear lights. Volvo built a modest batch of 361 units between 1933-34 of this car. But this was surprisingly better compared to the base model PV653 which attracted just 230 buyers.
You can see several photos of Volvo PV654 cars on the website swedishbrasscar.com. One photo shows you a PV654 which is fitted with the same paint scheme as proposed on this scale model by Editions Atlas. You may notice on that photo that the mentioned car wears a pretty faded paint.

Each set features several already known models. These sets will be available during a limited time and each set will cost 35 € which seems to be quite a saving.

  • Ford 17m (P7b) "Rijkspolitie" (NL), TD
  • Chevrolet Camaro "Sheriff" (USA), TD
  • Fiat Multipla "Carabinieri" (I), TD
  • Volvo 145 Estate "Polis" (S), TD
Picture
90432 - Set  "Alter Schwede" (old Swede)
  • Volvo 145 Estate "Polis" (S), TD
  • Volvo P210 Duett with roof-rack, TD
  • Volvo 144 Limousine, TD
  • Saab 96, TD
Picture
Each of the models available will be in the model line TD. TD stands for "Top Decoration" and means that each model labeled as such does have white wall tires, chromed window frames, two-tone paint, or various other more detailed parts and/or decorations.

Volvo V60 for Volvo-Japan

5/7/2015

2 Comments

 
Picture
A model of the actual Volvo V60 is available as scale model in Japan. This model is an official merchandise product from Volvo. The small scale model is made of plastic and measures 60.1 mm long, 23.7 mm width and 17.7 mm high. This means that the model is slightly larger than a H0 ( 1:87 ) model. The model comes packed in a small white window box. The scale model features also pull back action.
I was pretty luck to get an example via an avid Dutch Volvo collector. A model of the Volvo V40 is also available (click here). I just have no clue why Volvo isn't offering any of these models in the rest of the world. Please let us know if you have any further info's regarding this new scale model.

Dimensions:
lenght width height wheel diam.
scale model 60.1 mm 23.7 mm 17.7 mm 8 mm
real car 4628 mm 1865 mm 1484 mm ± 640 mm
approx. scale ± 1:76 ± 1:79 ± 1:84 ± 1:80
