Hey all,
I just saw a funny-looking Volvo today. It had a 70's sort of
look, and a very sleek, almost Stingray-like body. Any idea what
model/year that might have been? And do they still make them?
Thanks,
John

Maybe an old P1800? The only cool Volvo ever. A white P1800 was Roger
Moore's "Hirondel" in "The Saint". First year was 1961, last year was
1972. It's collectible and has a devoted following. There's a faint
echo of P1800 style in the current C70, just like Val Kilmer is a
faint echo of Roger Moore in the remake of "The Saint".
