Welcome to a Volvo you might never have heard of before. Owned and driven by Gustaf Larson - one of the company"s founders - this 1935 PV36 will be front and centre on Volvo"s stand at this week"s Techno Classica show in Essen, Germany. The "Art Deco" style is down to designer and engineer Ivar rnberg, who worked in the US for a few years before returning to Sweden in the early Thirties and penning the PV36. Volvo only built 500 of the car nicknamed "Carioca" - supposedly for a popular Latin American dance - between 1935 and 1938. This one - chassis number 85 - Larson owned from new and kept for three years. Save for the paintwork, it"s entirely original.
