Djetset 748
« on: August 23, 2015, 12:59:03 PM »
For one point, what car did this become, and for a possible second point, who drew this sketch?

That's a 1946 Dodge grille pattern, so maybe a proposal for a long wheelbase Dodge/Chrysler family model?

See above: Although this drawing was made much earlier, probably mid-30s.

Yes, it is a Volvo 800 series (PV831), but not drawn by Wilsgaard. Now locked to you for the correct illustrator's name.

with respect to Gerd, is this open yet?

I am not sure I have the answer, but an idea.

I'm willing to unlock it only if Gerd is okay for it to be unlocked as I think he should be given one more try, so it's your call Wendax...

I forgot about this puzzle, sorry. Was it done by Helmer Pettersson? If not, feel free to unlock.

  Thanks Wendax, it's not Helmer Pettersson, so I will unlock, but add your first point now for correctly identifying this as a Volvo 800.

My first choice was also Helmer but on second thought, I think it might have been his son Pelle who did the rendering.  Pelle was a world renowned sailing yacht designer and illustrator in his own right.

Helmer designed the PV444 and the PV830/831 redesign of the original PV800 bore several styling characteristics of the PV444.

Sorry Bill, but this sketch isn't the work of a Pettersson, senior or junior  ???

Waaay too much reading in Swedish references with no absolute answer.

How about Olle Schjolin, a Swedish American hired by Volvo after a successful career with GM and Opel designing cars in the 1930's.

He was responsible for the design of the Volvo PV60, which looked a lot like a 1939 Pontiac and the 830 series was also very "American" looking so maybe he had a hand in the 830 design as well.

I'm sure Olle Schjolin is the name of a flat-pack table I bought yesterday in a well-known Scandinavian furniture store!

Sorry, but it's not his work on display here.
