Volvo PV51 convertible by Editions Atlas

6/13/2016

1 Comment

 
The number sixty-three in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo PV51 convertible from 1937. Nordbergs Vagnfarik in Stockholm designed and built the body for this convertible. This is the first time a properly designed scale model is being offered of this rare prewar Volvo. Editions Atlas recreated the open roof quite well. And I'm very glad that they choose this handsome paint scheme rather than the boring white over white combo which you can see further down.
Volvo introduced their PV51 range in 1936 and stopped production at the end of the second world war. Volvo slightly improved and changed the model over the years. The various versions were:
  • PV51 : 1936-38 / 1754 cars built / base model / introduced in December 1936
  • PV 51 Special : introduced in March 1938 / spare wheel was moved from bootlid to boot floor
  • PV52  : 1937-38 / 1046 cars built / de luxe model featuring a better equipment
  • PV 52 Special : introduced in March 1938 / spare wheel was moved from bootlid to boot floor
  • PV51 ch : 1936-38 / 205 cars built / commercial chassis
  • PV53 : 1938-45 / cars built / base model / mildly restyled version of the PV52
  • PV54 : 1938-45 / 814 cars built / base model with larger boot
  • PV55 : 1938-45 / 286 cars built / de luxe model
  • PV56 : 1938-45 / 1321 cars built / de luxe model with larger boot
  • PV57: 1938-45, 275 cars built, commercial chassis

VOLVO PV51-7 (1936-1945)
The Volvo passenger car models of the latter half of the 1930s were the 51-56 types. This generation was the first 'smaller' Volvo car that was built in considerable numbers. All the models had the same basic body style and were the first Volvos with an all-steel body that also included the roof. The differences lay in certain exterior changes and levels of equipment. Many cars saw wartime service...

This 1937 car looks very nice but I think the side windows should go lower down in the sideline on the car.
