The evolution of Volvo

In Torslanda, near Gothenburg, Sweden, is the Volvo Museum. There, you can learn how businessman Assar Gabrielsson and engineer Gustaf Larson, both working for ball bearing manufacturer AB SKF, started building the first-ever Volvos in 1924 before the company was officially founded three years later. (Volvo, by the way, means "I roll".) The ÖV4, nicknamed Jakob, was their first creation. This cabriolet was soon followed by a sedan called PV4. AB Volvo was born.
