Moin,
bei meiner Suche nach einem Volvo Oldtimer hatte ich mich auch oberflächlich mit dem Buckel beschäftigt. Meinen Unterlagen nach gab es keinen PV444 J. Die Buchstaben I + J wurden übersprungen. Leider den Text nur in Englisch:
Models of the PV 444
- 444 A: the first model of the PV 444, with a 40 horsepower engine (topspeed: 125 km/h), the engine got 44bhp after a while.
- 444 S: special version introduced in 1949. Dove grey with red luxurious interior, special bumpers with bumper horns, This special version was made for buyers who were on the waiting list but had to pay more for the car. Note: the first PV 444 S is known as 444 AS, the new 444 B Special Edition has the name 444 BS, the CS is the special version of the C, etc etc.
- 444 B: roof-mounted indicator lights (also known as: “cuckoo”), new dashboard (instruments right in front of the driver instead of the center) and steering wheel, the ignition key and starter switch are now combined, new bumpers (ridges disappeared, made of three parts, and the license plate can be fitted on the bumper), new headlamp rings and modified wheels with new hub caps (without springs).
- 444 C: 15-inch wheels (instead of 16-inch wheels), 1,5 inch wider track and five holes instead of 4 holes for mounting the wheel. Smaller ventilation window.
- 444 D: the indicator lights are side-mounted (the fixlight was outlawed since 1953), the steering gear has been renewed, new startermotor, upgraded generator (Bosch instead of Autolite), small changes in rear axle, heater was an new option.
- 444 E: the heater system has been renewed and is standard. Also a price reduction and the “PV warranty”-program was introduced. The special version (S) has stainless steel hubcaps and trims strips on the wings, cigarette lighter, grab handles, vinyl and fabric upholstery and two sun visors.
- 444 H: (letters F & G were skipped) the windscreens are slightly larger (A-pillars are a bit smaller), the rear window is made from one piece, larger and relocated (higher up) rear lights, spare wheel container changed (standing wheel instead of a special box at the bottom of the trunk), interior lighting moved to underneath rear view mirror, better rust prevention (coated floor and inner wings).
- 444 K: (letters I & J were skipped) new engine (B14A) with 51 horsepower, new grille.
- 444 L: new engine (B16) with 60 horsepower, better insulation and soundproofing, new carburators and exhaust system, new aircleaner and oil filter, new position for indicator lights at the front, new gearbox, electrical driven windscreen wipers (instead of vacuum system), new grille with finer mesh and gold V in the middle, the indicators at the back has been combined in a new unit with the brake lights and rear lights combined, seatbelt anchor points as standard.
