It is a full-frame car,and for it to be twisted that badly,it almost had to have gone airborne and landed somewhere where there was something massive already parked. Quote
Frank Elder Posted March 16, 2021 Report Posted March 16, 2021 I miss men wearing suits and hats, and women in dresses......nothing as pretty as a happy woman in a sun dress. My Gramps wore a suit and tie with a hat every day of his life and he looked spiffy too!? Quote

My mother wore a dress every day of her life,though. Quote
Frank Elder Posted March 16, 2021 Report Posted March 16, 2021 My Gramps was born in 1911 and he was buried in his cracker jacks from WWII. Quote
MackTheFinger Posted March 18, 2021 Report Posted March 18, 2021 I worked at a Gulf station for an absolutely great guy who always wore that uniform. Sad to see what IMO is the best looking car of all time folded up like that. I had a white PV 544 Volvo like the one in the pic. The one I had was a '66. I can't recall exactly what year but it was late '60s or early '70s. Had a 444 before that. Great cars, faster than a VW Beetle and a real heater too. Would love to have one now. A nice ripe watermelon would be nice, too.. My father was born in 1908 and died at our kitchen table in '67. I only remember him wearing a suit at his parent's funerals in 1960 and I'm sure he borrowed that one. Heck, I don't own a suit now, not even a sport jacket.. Who am I supposed to be anyway, Frank Sinatra? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 18, 2021 Report Posted March 18, 2021 the PV544 are sharp cars in my opinion......I always liked them and while back was able to buy one at a fair enough price to make it worth grabbing...mine is a 1962 Sport.....I have only bought new metal for it so far and have it stored with the car....should be a fun project...
