Our second release on the Volvo 544 from the 1950s appears in pale yellow with a light tan interior and features a German registration plate NE HZ 3H. Volvo originally launched the four door saloon in 1944, distinguished by its solid appearance and sloping back and followed it up with upgrades over the years. The 544 came with a 4-speed gearbox and a superior B-18 engine. Volvo continued to manufacture this popular vehicle into the 1960s. Our model carries the B-18 logo in red on the back, alongside the Volvo 544 lettering. The exterior trim is also silver including the wheels which are rounded off with red hubs.
