The Volvo PV653/654 models came to the Scandinavian market in August 1933 as the successor to the PV651/652, the first six cylinder cars from the young Swedish car company founded shortly before, in 1927.
The 654 customer also had more choices for body colors — not only the standard Dark Blue available on the 653, but also Maroon red, Chestnut Brown and Light Sand. The 654 had a 3.2 litre straight six, side valve engine with 65 hp.
