1954

Volvo unveils the prototype of the Volvo Sport, an American-inspired two-seater with a fiberglass body. Aimed mostly at the export market, it proves not to be a commercial success. When Gunnar Engellau later takes over as managing director, he stops all output of the Volvo Sport, after only 67 of the production version have been built.

A special five-year warranty covering accident damage is introduced for the Swedish market.
