The Volvo Brage is a car from Volvo, built from 1954 to 1972, at the height of the post-war boom. Under the bonnet: Volvo inline 6. Jan Wilsgaard drew it.
The story
The Volvo Brage/Starke/Raske was a series of medium size trucks produced by Swedish automaker Volvo between 1954 and 1972.
What is underneath
Power comes from Volvo inline 6. It weighs 8350 kg – 11500 kg. It shifts through a 4/5-speed manual. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Volvo Roundnose; its successor was the Volvo F85. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, the Chevrolet Corvette — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Volvo catalogue sit the Volvo 144 and the Volvo 264 TE.
What it costs now
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Volvo Brage has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
