Volvo 123 GT (1969)
I love it when people do things they’re not supposed to do with things they’re not supposed to do it with.
Drifting a 12x/Amazon is a finest example of such love.

Volvo P1800 (1961)
In my “keeping it real” car wishlist, the P1800 sits amongst the top five, easily. It is unpretentious, charming, and makes you feel like Roger Moore behind the wheel.
I think that the P1800 still holds the record for the highest recorded mileage, nearly 3 million miles on the clock. So it will even outlive Roger Moore.
In a near future…

Volvo Tundra concept (1979)

… which you might know today as the Citroen BX. Volvo actually rejected the Bertone design and it ended up in Citroen’s hands, which tweaked it a bit to become the BX you know and love.

Quite the drama queen of design. But very, very loveable.
