The Volvo TR670 Series is a taxicab manufactured by Volvo between 1930 and 1937. The model name stands for TRafikvagn ("taxicab"), 6 cylinders, 7 seats; the third digit indicates the version.
TR670-674
With the introduction of the six-cylinder PV650 Series in 1929, Volvo had a car large and robust enough to be competitive on the lucrative taxicab market.[1] The TR670 Series was introduced in February 1930. Volvo increased the wheelbase by 150 mm (to 3,100 mm), which turned the car into a seven seater with two foldable spare seats in the passenger compartment. The car was built in two versions: the TR S (Stad, “town”) had a glass partition between the driver and the passenger seats. This car also had a higher roof line, so that the gentlemen wouldn’t have to take off their top hats during the ride. The TR L (Landsort, “countryside”) lacked the partition and used the same roof line as the ordinary PV651. The model names were soon altered to TR671 and TR672, in line with the PV650/PV651/PV652 nomenclature.[2] As with the PV650 Series, there were also commercial chassis versions of the car.
The cars where succeeded in the spring of 1931 by the TR673 and TR674.
