My first car was the 1957 version of this - a 444 with a split windshield. My first engine rebuild (the B16 in it had compression in two cylinders and a top speed of 45mph), clutch replacement, complete brake rebuild, and paint job.
It was amazing how much stuff the car would hold - know for a fact that three willing high schoolers can fit in the trunk... don't ask how I know that, but I do,
Fun car
A former co-worker bought one from a former co-worker and did a ton of work on it. I think either he or his ex still has it.
That is the same model and color as my very first car. "It has the turning radius of a horse" one passenger said! It was a fun car!! I spent allot of time sideways on forest service roads around Big Bear Lake California in it. It always seemed to enjoy it!
I love the add. Says it needs clutch hydraulics...LOL it is a mechanical linkage, and one of the weakest parts of an otherwise very sturdy car. Pic is a 65 that I bought April 1970, still in HS, my first Volvo of many. Paid $300.00, which is what the original owner was offered on trade for an Alfa 1750 Berlina. I rolled it :( It still drove OK afterwards, sturdy!
