Interior upholstery PV

To find the upholstery code of your Volvo PV or Duett: please check the VIN-plate under the hood. It is located on the firewall at the passenger side of the car. At the plate there is a field called “Klädsel” (it’s Swedish for “upholstery”). This number is the color code of the upholstery.

Interior upholstery Volvo PV 444

In the overview below you can find the Volvo PV 444 upholstery codes including the right color samples of the fabrics Volvo used on the 444.  You can find it at the VIN-plate under the hood, called “klädsel/upholstery”, but not on the 444 A since the first PV 444 only came with one available upholstery color (except the Special).

All seat covers and other upholstery parts of the Volvo PV and Duett can be bought at VP Autoparts (Veteran Parts is the only producer of the upholstery and the covers are exactly the same as the original upholstery and in my opinion it it much better than a reproduction made by a local furnisher, also a lot cheaper) , which also have stores in Sweden and USA.

Interior upholstery Volvo PV 544

As expected the 544 has a lot of more colors available for the interior. You can find the color code for your upholstery at the chassisnumber-plate under the hood (the number at “Klädsel” is the color code for the upholstery). Used fabrics are cotton and vinyl. Note: there are 2 types of back seats of the PV 544. See the image below.


In 1962 the front seats has been changed and made thinner to provide more space for the passengers in the back seat.

All seat covers and other upholstery parts of the Volvo PV and Duett can be bought at VP Autoparts (Veteran Parts is the only producer of the upholstery and the covers are exactly the same as the original upholstery and in my opinion it it much better than a reproduction made by a local furnisher, also a lot cheaper) , which also have stores in Sweden and USA.

Interior upholstery Volvo Duett P445 / P110 and P210

The upholstery for the Volvo Duett is almost the same as the PV’s, except the door panels, back seat and b-pillars. That’s why the interior codes are different. Used fabrics: cotton and vinyl (for all types: armrests and doorpanels are made of vinyl, kickpanels are made of cardboard). You can find the interior code under the hood at the chassisnumber-plate (the number at “Klädsel” is the one you’re looking for).

All seat covers and other upholstery parts of the Volvo PV and Duett can be bought at VP Autoparts (Veteran Parts is the only producer of the upholstery and the covers are exactly the same as the original upholstery and in my opinion it it much better than a reproduction made by a local furnisher, also a lot cheaper) , which also have stores in Sweden and USA.

In the overview below you can see the interior codes for the 445 (110, based on the PV444) and 210 (Duett based on the PV544).
