About the Volvo Ads

I am a classic Volvo enthusiast.  A few years ago I started collecting Volvo print ads and ended up with a decent little collection.  I am now working on scanning these ads so that others may enjoy them.  I will be posting the ads here as time allows (with the occasion note or comment.)

1982 Volvo 240 Ad: It Can Actually Make 55 M.P.H. Interesting

The text  portion of this ad states:

IT CAN ACTUALLY MAKE 55 M.P.H. INTERESTING

If you think that's impossible, you've never driven the Volvo Turbo.

A car whose handling equipment can turn a curve in the road or a trip to the supermarket into a driving adventure.

Its turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine can dust a V-8 off the line.  Automotive writers have described it as "A blast."Spectactualr." "Like cutting in an afterburner."

Maybe you think speed limits , emission controls and government milage requirements have made driving humdrum. But that's only because you don't own an interesting car.
