Volvo builds a hot-rod

This month Volvo will be unveiling a hand-built hot-rod at the Volvo Museum in Göteborg before the car makes its way to the home of the hot-rods, the USA, on a tour. While most hot-rods are built off old Fords or other American makes, this one is based on the first ever Volvo to roll off the production line in 1927, the ÖV4.
