The Volvo Margarete Rose, internal code P179, was a prototype that Volvo developed in 1953 and 1954 and that Jan Wilsgaard designed. It was planned as a complement to the PV 444. Some of its lines were reused on the Amazon, which also received variants of the P179's front and rear suspensions. At 1,200 kilograms the prototype was much heavier than planned and much too heavy for its 1.4 litre B14A engine. Only one P179 was built, and after it rolled over during a driving test it was scrapped.
