This is the Hoyt Special. Based on the running gear of a crashed Volvo PV544 and built in the USA in 1962 by Al Hoyt.

Surely the name should be "Hoyt Special" or "Hoyt Volvo Special" and not simply "Volvo Special" as that name covers every single special built with Volvo patrs.

Yes, but in the title of the thread is simply "Volvo Special"
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Discovered that the Hoyt has just been sold.  Here is a very recent photograph of it
