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.)

1983 Volvo 240: The World's Fastest Baggage Handler

The text  portion of this ad states:

The World's Fastest Baggage Handler?

If there's a station wagon in the world that's faster than the Turbo Wagon from Volvo, it's a very-well kept secret.

The Turbo Wagon can take you from a standing start to the legal speed limit in 9.2 seconds.  As Motor Trend puts it: "You keep hoping for a stray Saab 900 Turbo or even a BMW uou can sniff out and then send scambling to the roadside while you blow its doors in."

We assure you, a test drive in the Turbo Wagon will be very revealing.

Especially if you thought the only time a station wagon could haul
was when it had something in the back.
