"VOLVO AMAZON 1956 - 1970"
Volvo Amazon
This is a classic Volvo from the 120 Series family generally known as the
'Amazon'. Half a million of these were built by Volvo between 1956-1970 and gained a
well-earned reputation for toughness and longevity. This series is were Volvo made its name in world markets. When introduced the car
caused some surprises for a relatively small-engined (1580cc-1990cc) car with a performance
matching and in some cases exceeding some sports cars. It is noted that this car had a straightforward engine which was ideal for the home mechanic as compared to the engines being built today. Though this revolutionary car series has ceased production, this is where the Volvo we know and love today got its qualities from. (Pic taken in Harare Zimbabwe 09/04/2016)
