Volvo TR670 Series

The Volvo TR670 Series was a taxicab that Volvo built between 1930 and 1937. The name stands for TRafikvagn, a taxicab, with six cylinders and seven seats, and the third digit gives the version. It followed the six-cylinder PV650 Series of 1929, which gave Volvo a car large and robust enough for the taxicab market, and was introduced in February 1930 with a wheelbase lengthened by 150 mm and two folding spare seats. It came as the TR S for town, with a glass partition and a higher roof so that gentlemen need not remove their top hats, and the TR L for the countryside, without the partition. The TR673 and TR674 brought longer and wider bodies in 1931, the 1932 cars received the larger 3,366 cc EB engine, a stronger chassis and an all-steel body followed in 1934, and the 1935 TR701 to TR704 used the 3670 cc EC engine and a V-shaped grille. The Volvo PV800 Series superseded it in 1937.
