Nine specially designed suitcases could be fitted into spaces in the back, and any compartments in the right front fender (the left fender contained spare tyre and tools). A second spare tyre in the rear was used as the bumper. The design was done by Gustaf Ericsson, who was the son of Lars Magnus Ericsson.

It was based on the chassis of the Volvo PV655, and the coachwork was done by Gustaf Nordbergs Vagnfabrik AB in 1932.[1] The name was a pun referencing Venus de Milo, with bil meaning “automobile” in Swedish. The concept was a four door, four seater saloon, and it led to the production car Volvo PV 36 Carioca. The Carioca was also a four door saloon.

The fate of the car itself is currently unknown. It was sold to a buyer in Denmark after World War II. In the middle of the 1950s, it was owned by the son of a scrapyard owner in Denmark who rebuilt it into a pickup truck. It was used as late as 1956, after which there are no records of it.[2][3]
