This 1962 Volvo PV544 Sport is a particularly charming and well-documented example of one of Volvo’s most iconic post-war models, combining classic Scandinavian design with a unique and highly appealing story.

Finished in a soft cream exterior over a striking red interior, the car presents beautifully and benefits from a number of thoughtful upgrades that enhance both usability and driving enjoyment. Power comes from a later B20 four-cylinder engine, paired with a four-speed manual transmission and electronic overdrive, offering improved performance over the original configuration. Dual SU carburetors, electronic ignition, and a stainless steel exhaust system further contribute to a lively and reliable driving experience. Additional upgrades include auxiliary gauges, IPD sway bars front and rear, and halogen headlights, making the car well-suited for modern road use while retaining its period character.

The interior was redone in 2023 in red vinyl and remains in excellent condition, complementing the car’s clean and honest presentation. The chrome work is notably bright and well preserved, and the car sits on Vredestein Sprint Classic tires fitted in 2020.

This very car was used in the 2000 film The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, where it served as Professor Sherman Klump’s on-screen vehicle. Accompanying the car is an official Certificate of Authenticity issued by Universal Studios, confirming its use in the production and its release from studio ownership in 2003. It is increasingly rare to find a genuine movie car with such clear and verifiable documentation.

Since 2020, the car has been maintained by a Volvo specialist in Vermont, with records and receipts on file. It has proven to be a reliable and enjoyable driver, having participated in several week-long touring events throughout New England as well as shorter outings. In 2024, it was awarded the Co-Chair Award at the Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts annual show in Waterbury and was featured on the cover of Wheel Tracks magazine.

Offered by Gem Classic Cars, this Volvo PV544 represents a unique opportunity to acquire not only a well-sorted and enjoyable classic, but also a piece of film history with documented provenance and continued enthusiast recognition.
