Volvo Venus Bilo by Editions Atlas

8/25/2015

12 Comments

 
The number sixty in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo Venus Bilo. The Volvo Venus Bilo was a concept car revealed by Volvo in 1933. It was a streamlined design with rear hinged doors and door in the side to access the engine bay. It was designed to have a great loading capacity. Nine specially designed suitcases could be fitted into spaces in the back and a compartment in the right front fender. The left fender contained a spare tyre and tools. A second spare tyre in the rear was used as a bumper. The design was done by Gustaf Ericsson (son of Lars Magnus Ericsson). The body was based on a Volvo PV655 chassis and the coachwork was done by Gustaf Nordbergs Vagnfabrik AB in 1932. This special handmade vehicle of which only one version had been produced had been commissioned by Volvo to test the market for an advanced streamlined car. The car aroused enormous interest, but opinion was divided when it came to its appearance. Series production was never considered, but the Venus Bilo paved the way for the more streamlined bodies of future models. The concept led to the production model Volvo PV 36 Carioca. The fate of the car itself is unknown. After World War II it was sold to a person in Denmark. In the mid-1950s it was owned by a Danish scrapyard owner who rebuilt it into a pickup truck. It was used as late as 1956, but then it vanished.
This is the first time ever that a company has taken the risk developing a mass production replica of this unique Volvo. The main reasons for this are that no blueprints, only four photos showing the car from an angle and a couple seconds of film material exist. This made it pretty hard to recreate an exact replica of the Volvo Venus Bilo.

Volvo TP21 by Editions Atlas

8/2/2015

13 Comments

 
The number fifty-nine in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo TP21. Volvo designed the TP21 to be an rugged, off-road radio communications vehicle (radiobil) for the Swedish Armed Forces. Because of its snout-like front end and rounded rear end, the vehicle was nicknamed "Sugga" meaning sow or mother pig in Swedish. Volvo offered the TP21 between 1953 and 1958. This 4x4 has become ever since a favorite amongst offroad fans around the world.
This is the very first time that a company is producing a scale model of the Volvo TP21 made out of diecast. This newly tooled 1:43 scale model is offered in the common military green paint. And it is loaded with all the standard exterior equipment which was so typical for the TP21.
