An agreement with the American fiberglass body manufacturer Glasspar enabled Volvo to produce a pleasing small cabriolet with tubular chassis and suspension from the PV444, a 70-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, three-speed gearbox and 6-volt electrical system. . The car was presented in 1955 and went into production the following year. Unfortunately it was not a commercial success and the P1900 went out of production very soon, by decision of the new Volvo board.
