1966 Volvo 122s, Great Condition, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Winchester, Massachusetts, United States
It's with a heavy heart that we list our beloved Volvo 122s. Growing up in Scandinavia, the 122s was the first car I ever drove, and I've loved it ever since. This is the real Swedish steel, and this car is no exception. The car is a daily driver that turns heads everywhere it goes. I would rank the exterior as 7.5/10 and the interior as 9/10 with black leather seats. There are some minor scratches, a couple of cosmetic rust bubbles, and the chrome could be shinier here and there. Full paint job within last 10 years. No structural rust. We bought this car from an older lady in California several years ago and used it as a daily driver until this winter. With our family growing, we needed an a larger wheel drive as our second car, and the Amazon was put into storage. 6 months later, she started right up without any hesitation and drives like a charm. Has a hitch and great sound in the sound system, with 6x9 speakers in the rear. Great for cruising. The odometer stopped working a while ago, but it's safe to assume that it has hundreds of thousands of miles, as it should. Both the previous owner and I serviced the car regularly. Since we don't use her as much as she deserves, we've decided to pass this wonderful vehicle on to someone who has the time to fully appreciate her. This is such a fun car, we're very sad to see it go. The vehicle is sold as is, no warranty in any way. Vehicle is located in Winchester, MA, but we can ship anywhere in the world. As great as this car is, we don't recommend driving it cross country after acquiring it, as we have not driven her no long distances recently. Buyer pays for shipping. |

Volvo shows inflatable child seat concept [w/video]
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Volvo is bringing its emphasis on safety and design to the littlest members of the family with its concept for an inflatable, rearward facing child safety seat. The design is meant to help traveling families by offering a lighter and less bulky alternative to traditional car seats.
The design is quite ingenious. The seat is covered in drop-stitched fabric, which fills with air to create the form of the seat. An electric motor in it allows inflation and deflation in less than 40 seconds, according to Volvo. It weighs less than 5 kilograms (11 pounds) and folds small enough when collapsed to fit into a bag. It even has a Bluetooth connection, so parents can begin expanding it remotely.
The inflatable seat in the brainchild of Lawrence Abele, Volvo's design manager at its Monitoring and Concept Center in Los Angeles, CA. "For many, travelling with young children is a challenge; any assistance to simplify the parents' life with young children is a great thing," he said in a statement released by Volvo. The chair remains a concept for now, and the automaker isn't saying whether it's going to put it into production, but it's a clever solution to a common problem. Scroll down for a video showing it in action and to read the release.
Volvo brings a whole new 2014 showroom for Geneva's approval
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Sometimes it takes smaller automakers a bit longer than the industry average to rotate and freshen their product lineups. Volvo has taken a big swing for the 2014 model year in that regard, and has brought along a full product portfolio of new cars.
In the main, this means that the Swedish brand has fast-tracked facelifts for its already-attractive assemblage of sedans, wagons and crossovers. Volvo mainstays S60 and S80 have both gotten appearance modifications to freshen them for dealer lots, as well as added features inside the car. We're particularly happy to report that the spirited "60 cluster" models - S60, V60, XC60 - can now be had with optional paddle shifters on new, three-spoke steering wheels.
Below you'll find a whole bunch of image galleries of the revised Volvos, live and in person from the show floor in Geneva. For a bit more background on the Volvo updates, feel free to read our original announcement of the news or scroll down to catch the press release.
2014 Volvo XC60 scooped before launch
Fri, 28 Dec 2012A Chinese automotive site has snagged the first spy shots of the updated Volvo XC60, completely uncovered. While the overall profile of the vehicle remains intact, the headlights are heavily revised. Gone are the two-piece units, which featured the separate light strip between the main cluster and the grille. In place now are larger lenses, somewhat reminiscent of those found on the S60 sedan. Also updated is the grille, which gets a little wider to meet the new headlights. The grille receives more chrome, while the lower front fascia has been revised with wider openings. A pair of LED fog lights are pushed way out to the corners.
Out back, the license plate holder gets a bold chrome strip above it, and the recessed exhaust is replaced with chromed, dual exhaust outlets that have been integrated into the bottom of the rear bumper.
Inside, the instrument panel has been revised, with a large, centrally mounted speedo, featuring a digital display in the center. According to reports, this is a similar setup to that of the new V40. As such, it appears that the changes are thoughtful efforts to move the XC60 forward by incorporating the most current Volvo design elements.
