1961-73: P1800ES (SEE PICTURE below):
The P1800's exterior was executed by the son of the project's chief engineer, Pelle Petterson and Helmer Petterson, respectively. But because Pelle worked at the Italian coachbuilder Frua in Milan at the time, credit for the P1800's styling has been erroneously given to Frua. From 1972 to 1973, Volvo built a few thousand variants of the P1800ES, with a long, low roof and all-glass rear hatch, which earned the nickname in Germany of SCHNEEWITTCHENSARG, or "Snow White's Coffin."
