VolvoPV801-10

[ TR670-9 | PV653-5 | TR701-4 | PV36 | PV51-57 | PV801-10 ]

The new taxis, the PV801 (with a glass division between the front and rear seat) and the PV802 (without the glass division), were introduced in 1938. The model was also available in a chassis form, the PV810, which had a longer wheelbase. The design of the PV800 Series was much enhanced by the daring V-shaped nose and the typical American styling with the rounded contours. Both versions could carry eight persons thanks to three additional folding seats.
