The Volvo 66 was a relabelled DAF 66, a Michelotti styled compact car that was made after Volvo Cars bought DAF in 1975, before production of the Volvo 300 series began. It was known for its continuously variable transmission, the Variomatic. The Volvo version of the car was slightly restyled and given larger bumpers compared with those of the original DAF model; this was in-keeping with Volvo's philosophy of emphasising safety.
