The Volvo PV651 was part of the PV650 Series produced by Volvo between 1929 and 1937. It was the first car to be equipped with a six-cylinder DB engine, which had a capacity of just over 3 liters and a modest output of 55 bhp. The engine featured a fully balanced crankshaft, making it both strong and flexible. The PV651 and its successor, the PV652, were longer and wider than previous Volvo models. Standard features included four-wheel brakes (either mechanical for the PV651 or hydraulic for the PV652). The PV651 paved the way for Volvo’s legacy of quality and innovation.
