Look at these awesome and colorful classics! We have a 1960s 911 and an Opel GT! These two didn't stay, but what a sight.

Pure function over form, with plenty of personality. Just the way an old Volvo should be.

If you remember from our 2023 feature story, Stu Foster was in the process of restoring and rebuilding his free 1990 240 that he got from his wife's friend. He said he was going to throw a 16 valve engine head from a Volvo 740, and he delivered! This machine looks fantastic, especially with the mechanics exposed. Next up, is the turbo!

I got to experience the self leveling hydraulic suspension first hand, and let me tell you - there is nothing like this. It's amazing how this technology has not been adapted into another mass produced car. The ride quality and comfort is above all. The French were truly onto something here.

It's back! Sandy's '79 900 is one of my favorites, and I go into detail of why that is in its previous entry. I'm really happy to see it here at the Swedish Meet Ball!

My first time ever seeing one of these. For those that don't know, these weren't sold in the US, and were produced and sold in The Netherlands.
