Volvo 66

[ P1800ES | 242 | 244 | 245 | 262 | 262C | 264 | 265 | 66 | 343 | 345 ]

In 1972, Volvo purchased one-third of the then DAF Car BV in the Netherlands and thus established itself in the small car segment where it had not previously been represented. In the mid-1970s, additional holdings in DAF Car BV were purchased and the company was re-organised to create Volvo Car BV.

The first car from Volvo Car BV to bear the Volvo name was the Volvo 66. This was a development of the previous DAF 66 model.

The Volvo 66 was available in two versions, a 2-door saloon and a 3-door estate. These cars had rear-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox in the form of continuously variable transmission, CVT.
