The first car with three point belt was a Volvo PV 544 that was delivered to a dealer in Kristianstad on August 13, 1959.

In 1966 the Volvo PV ended production, replaced by the Amazon, a less expensive version of the Amazon, without exterior chrome trim, a passenger-side sunshield or cigarette lighter, and with a three-speed rather than four-speed transmission — available in black with red interior and later white or black with red interior.

The design is based on the Volvo PV sedan and shares its engine and front suspension with that model.

The car had so endeared itself to its owners that Volvo ran self-deprecating advertisements in late 1965 and early 1966 imploring PV owners not to be angry with the company.

Although Volvo was incorporated in 1915 as a subsidiary of AB SKF, a Swedish ball bearing manufacturer, the auto manufacturer considers itself officially founded on 14 April 1927, when the first car, the Volvo ÖV 4 series, affectionately known as " Jakob ", rolled out of the factory in Hisingen, Gothenburg.

The name Volvo was originally registered in May 1911 as a separate company within SKF AB and as a registered trademark with the intention to be used for a special series of ball bearing, but this idea was only used for a short period of time and SKF decided to use " SKF " as the trademark for all its bearing products.

In 2011 Volvo also entered the championship, fielding a one-car team as an evaluation for a possible heavier commitment to the series.

The Volvo 300 series, introduced in 1976 had been designed as a DAF, with a Variomatic transmission similar to that of a 66.

The trademark Volvo ( which is latin for I roll ) was first registered by SKF the 11 May 1915 with the intention to use it for a special series of ball bearing for the American market ( however in the application for the trademark, it was also designated for the purpose of automobiles ), but it was never used for this purpose.

The 144 series, which followed the Volvo Amazon ( replacing it in its 4th model year ), was the first Volvo to use a tri-digit nomenclature, indicating series, number of cylinders and number of doors.

It was also in 1969 that Volvo introduced the 164, which shared much of the 140 series structure and styling aft of the windshield while incorporating a 6-cylinder engine, the B30 which was simply a B20 with 2 more cylinders and a few strengthened and enlarged components.
