The 915 was a radio/command car, about 700 hand built 53-57. The yellow one is owned by Volvo, USA. It was painted yellow with water based paint, it is back to its OD green now, sitting in New Jersey. Yes, they did copy Dodge somewhat, they did their homework, before they built "it". Yes it is somewhat "different" - Sugga means "big pig" or sow in Swedish. It is function over styling. The body is actually a 53 Volvo cab basically set on a 1.5 -2 ton truck chassis. The axles make the dana 70 on a W300 look like those on a Toyota Rav4. It has FACTORY vaccuum lockers, gears are 6.23's, flathead 6. There is a radio table mounted to the front seat and a one man observation hatch. It stands 7.5' high. The bike rack was done by the factory, holds two Swedish issue military bikes. There are less than ten in the States. To copy is the greatest form of flattery. I know more than 1 PW owner that would love to have a Sugga.
