Volvo does not build many cars like the Volvo Longnose with Volvo ohv inline 6, built from 1937 to 1951 when streamlining and independent suspension were arriving together.
How it came about
The Volvo LV180/190 and 290-series, or the Longnose was a truck produced by Swedish automaker Volvo between 1937 and 1951.
The hardware
Under the skin sits Volvo ohv inline 6. Kerb weight is 7500 kg – 16000 kg. The gearbox is a 4 speed non-syncro manual. The wheelbase is 3.4 m – 4.7 m. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Where it sits in Volvo's history is not in doubt: the Volvo LV66-series came before it; the Volvo Viking followed it. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Volkswagen Beetle, the Lincoln Continental, the Chevrolet Suburban. Its Volvo stablemates include the Volvo 144 and the Volvo 264 TE.
The money
There is no federal ownership record for the Volvo Longnose — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
