My 7th Grade English teacher has just this model of Volvo, which by 1979 had faded to a funny shade of light green. His chrome and hubcaps did not look as good as this specimen however.

The Volvo style that made me a fan. The ones I’ve owned never quite satisfied my childhood dreams.
ReplyDeleteJust superb! Thank you so very much!
ReplyDeleteWe had one... in Sweden that PV model was lovingly referred to as a “Limpsnutt” which is the ‘heel’ of a loaf of bread...
ReplyDeleteMy first car was a 1960 Volvo that looked just like this one. Thanks for the photo.
