P 445 C Karlaverken

This chassis was owned by the state road company. The pickup had to do hard hard work and eventually, due to the bad frame, the car was to be sent to the scrapyard. Erik Svensson, who owned a car repair shop, thought the cabin was in good shape and bought the pickup. He than bought a new frame from Volvo and drove the car for several years. In the middle of the 60;s he got an offer he couldn't refuse and sold the pickup. Shortly after, the car was transformed into a tractor. As a tractor, somewhere along the way up to this date, the cabin was lengthen. With the extension there's more room and that'll make the trip a lot more comfortable for shure. The chassis will be driven as tractor for a while ahead, then we'll se if someone dare to convert it back to original stand.
