This 1957 Volvo PV445 is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom.
The PV 445 or Duet was produced by Volvo with the intent to be used
as a delivery vehicle during the week and a comfortable sleek sedan
on the weekends. Although the styling was based on the 444/544
sedan which were unibody design the Duet was a full frame vehicle.
This example was built with a Hotrod approach with the looks of a
57 Volvo but the heart of a powerful V8. The two-tone paint is
slick and gives the car a custom look without going over the top.
The chromed luggage rack on top goes well with the overall theme.
The custom wheels are a nice touch while hinting towards what's
under the hood. Naturally a V8 is what this thing needed but you
can just put a small block American motor in this thing. Having
that said a Range Rover engine was sourced and built using some
aftermarket parts. The end product is a rather powerful European
V8. The transmission choice was obvious with the 4l60 being a
readily available OD transmission that mates up to the engine with
very little fab work. The rear end was donated from a 01 Blazer
giving this PV a decent gear for highway cruising. The stopping
aspect of things are taken care of by a set of Volvo retro front
disc while back has the s10's setup. The handling is taken care of
through a set of Pro Shocks upfront and adjustable coil overs out
back. This allows you to tune the handling and ride to your liking.
The interior of this custom VOLVO compliments the outside
perfectly. The bucket seats are comfortable with a modern look
while the cargo area has that classic feel. The wood slats are a
great accent and really add that vintage charm. If you are looking
for something that's fun to drive while being unique this Volvo
fits the bill. Options on this 1957 Volvo P445 include, Cloth
Interior and Custom Wheels with Radial Tires. This 1957 Volvo PV445
