The Volvo PV544 was introduced in 1958. The PV544 was the successor to the Volvo PV444. This new model featured similar styling, but tweaks such as the one piece windscreen and larger taillights were notable differences. Initially, the PV544 was fitted with a 1.6L inline four engine, but in 1962, a 1.8L inline four unit was used. Production of the Volvo PV544 lasted until 1966. A van/estate version of the PV544 was offered, and was known as the Volvo Duett.
