It's that time of the year again, when all the classic cars returns to the roads after spending the long winter in a warm garage. I was waiting at a railway x-ing last week when Bror Persson drove up next to me. His Volvo PV (known here as a Sugga), from 1951 looks to be in mint condition. Back in the day it used to be a taxi in Stockholm, and you can still see the Ledig (Available), sign on the wind shield. Bror is a collector of old cars, and is a member of several car clubs. One of them the Swedish Volvo PV Club. We talked for a bit as we waited for the commuter to pass by, and I had time to try and shoot a self portrait in one of the reflective hub-caps.
Great photos! Love Volvo.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Do you have to wear white winklepickers when you approach a car dressed in whitewall tyres?
ReplyDeletemagnifique ce vieux taxi Volvo, j'adore ce design
ReplyDeleteThat should of course be a rule Paul. For æsthetic reasons.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post today, Steffe.
ReplyDeleteIt is surprising to see a car in great shape like this.
ReplyDeleteA neat old car! I liked Volvo until it was purchased by Ford. :(
ReplyDeleteA veteran car, Volvo, with extra story. Mercedes was taxa/taxicars in many years here in Denmark, not that we produced them, but perhaps cause our "hates" to Sweden *LOL*
ReplyDeleteLater that involved football *dobbeltLOL*
They sure don't make them like that anymore.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great looking Volvo. It looks beautifully kept.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see such an old taxi. I am a taxi driver, but I drive a much newer Toyota.
ReplyDeleteWe really don't have many Volvo cars here but we have many thousands of boat motors by Volvo. Strange.
I've never seen a classic Volvo model before. Cool.

That VOLVO is a dream car! It would be so fun to drive around in it! Wahooo!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, I have a buddy who is a Volvo mechanic in Boulder, Colorado, USA that has one of these! I've actually riden in one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty Steffe. I love vintage cars. This one is in good shape!
