spent a lot of time in volvo wagons as a kid. mom had three of them over the years. great cars, very safe and reliable.Correct, Volvo V70 R.
Here’s my other collection in my office.
Bought a '98 Volvo S70 for my daughters as their first car. Bult like a tank. In fact, that is what they named the car and when they were done it looked like it had been in a war. That was probably the best used car I ever bought. Always reliable and had more features than any other car I owned. I did put some work into it to keep it going through both of my daughters driving it (7 yrs and 50k mi), but it took all the bumps (taking out mailboxes), bruises (broken taillight and mirror) and abuse (looked like they lived in the car) they put it through. The car was a year older than my youngest daughter and I would always remind her of that and to take care of 'tank'. Ultimately, she rear-ended another car, and it was a little more work to fix than I was willing to put into it so off to the recycler went 'tank'. Love the European engineering.
great story! if i had kids i would want them in tank volvo too. top gear usa from a few years back (the series with tanner foust, rutledge wood and adam ferrar) had an episode where the 3 hosts were trying to find the toughest car, one of the guys took a volvo wagon and it did very well. of course the show is all comedy and all the cars ended up trashed. think the show is still streaming some places.
great pic, and true story! even the "jeep" that made them famous in ww2 was not totally jeep. a large number of them were actually Fords and dodges.Sorry jeep. Ford did it first.
