1954 Volvo Other Taxi Additional Info:
Purchased 20 years ago, had it painted, and drove the Kids to the Dairy Queen in it. Been sitting for 15 years. I put new batteries in it, and it fired right up, and drives nice.
There is a dent in the rear driver fender (Self inflicted by my snow plowing), and bubbling paint on the passenger front fender. I am just now finishing new Ironwood running boards.
Interior, the seats are nice, with fold down jummper seats in the back, but headliner needs to be replaced. Not a showcar, but way better than a barn find. It just needs a little body/interior TLC.
Odometer reads 45000KM, but not working. Obviously it has a lot of miles, but they were built to run forever.
I haven't seen or heard of another one in US. It's the frame, engine, and some body parts from the military "Sugga"... But, the military Sugga name is incorrect. The "Sugga" (Sow) name was given to these Taxis, and Limos.... Sugga just stuck to the Military model in the past 20 years or so, because they used so much of the PV parts in building the Brute.
