After taking a majority stake in DAF Personenwagen BV in 1975, Volvo expanded its model range downwards: the 'little Volvo' that was marketed as Volvo 66 is a Daf 66 with some changes in appearance and, in particular, safety-enhancing changes. The exterior got 66 thick black bumpers with integrated turn signals, and the diagonal stripe with the Volvo logo in the grille to align the model with the family face of the large Volvos. Much remained the same in the interior compared to the Daf 66, but the CVT (Volvo's renaming of the Variomatic, from 'continuously variable transmission', English: continuously variable transmission) was now operated with a normal selector lever with the positions R (reverse, reverse) N (neutral) and D (drive, forward). In order to boost the safety level and convey Volvo's image of safe cars in this little 66, a laminated windscreen, reinforcements in the cage construction and automatically retracting seat belts were installed. To get a good idea of the lot, we advise you to come to the viewing day.
