By the time they reached that point post PV544, except for the gorgeous 1800s, not cool any more.

I remember driving to work one morning with a lot of fresh snow back when the snowplow left a little on the side streets without anyone suing the town.
There was a Volvo either 444 or 544 stopped in the street and he flagged me down. Said he had dead battery and wanted a push to jump start it. I got out and looked because my '67 Ford F250 Ranger Camper Special was higher than than average bear. Not jacked up just a full sized pickup on 16 inch split rims. But I digress...

I was worried about overriding his bumper but he had fairly big bumper guards and he was convinced it would be ok. Since the plow left a half inch of snow getting him rolling and let him coast to jump start wouldn't work, I had to keep pushing while he jumped it. It fired up he waved and took off, probably late for work. As he drove away I could see the trunk lid was pushed in. I regret that to this day.
