Determined to initiate exports to the USA, Volvo chief Assar Gabrielsson’s idea was that Volvo should sell an American-inspired model. The Philip was a bigger car with embryonic fins and was powered by a V8 engine. Although an attractive creation, it was ultimately the PV, and later the Amazon (known as the P120 in the USA), which was a success in the transatlantic market.

Notice the line of the top of the windshield.

This picture gives you a better view of the unique c-pillar shape and the double arc along the top of the rear window, which the trivia car also shares, along with the shape of the waistline of the car, particularly at the rear doors.


Wow, total plagarism on that design. I should get partial credit.
