    1. Because cars today are stupifyingly boring. All in the name of fuel economy.
      Cars then had presence. All in the name of style.

    3. Pretty good looking car in the day, but it was still a Volvo. Bad brake system and worse electrics.

  2. When I was a kid I had a neighbor that had a 63 Volvo 1800S that he had gotten when he was stationed in Germany.

  4. Isn't that the car that The Saint, Simon Templar, drove?

    I never cared for the sedans, but I thought the wagons had great styling.

    1. Styling? If you consider a used shoebox stylish, you must be a fan
      of socialist brutalist architecture also. Open a book ocaisonally and
      look at real automotive design. ( That doesn't include 90 % of the crap made
      today that looks like the same turd with a different grill!)
