As a subsidiary of SKF (Svenska Kullagerfabriken), the Volvo brand was born in 1924. The first series-produced Volvo left the factory halls near Gothenburg as early as 1927. Volvo produced ten more vehicle series until 1958, but it was not until the twelfth series that the brand achieved the international sales success it had been striving for. Known as the “humpback Volvo” with the type designation PV444 and its successor the PV544. In August 1990, the 900 series was introduced as a further development of the 700 series and completely replaced it in 1992. Many body parts of the predecessor series could also be taken over. Because of the good rust prevention, galvanized steel sheet, corrosion was not an issue. Under the hood of the 940, the then still Swedish automaker used the same inline four cylinders of the predecessor. The 940 sedan and all station wagon models retained the rear rigid axle, which accordingly, through track and camber consistency, provided a pleasant ride. Due to the extensive safety-technical elements, the 900 series received countless prizes and awards and set a monument for eternity for Volvo. Even high mileages in the six-digit range are still considered to be just “broken in” today.
