Volvo 780 - Like its predecessor, the 780 was designed and built by Carrozzeria Bertone in Turin, Italy. However, unlike the 262C, the 780 was not merely a two-door 760 with a "chop top" roof. Bertone gave the 780 its own distinctive shape which set it apart from the other models, yet was still identifiable as a Volvo. The car had a sleek, low profile, inheriting some of the styling of the other 700 series cars, but without many of the severe angles and sharp corners. The hood, trunk, and roof lines were all slightly lower than the standard 700 series profile, and the C-pillar was wider and had a more gradual slope down to the trunk. Headroom was improved over the 262C, thanks to Bertone’s mere 1 centimeter lowering of the roofline! Window frames all had black matte trim, and were accented with chrome. Chrome also highlighted the door handles, bumpers, and side mouldings.

Volvo Amazon - The Volvo Amazon is a Swedish-built car, the first one being rolled out of the factory in October 1956 as an alternative to the Volvo PV. Known for being a reliable car, of the 297,000 sold in Sweden, 35,000 are still registered and it's expected that 15,000 are still in use.

The model number of the Amazon is 120. 121 was the base model with a single carburetor 66bhp engine. The 122S introduced in 1959 was the performance model equipped with a dual carburetor 85bhp engine. It included the 130 (two door saloon), 120 (four door saloon) and 220 (4-door estate wagon) models.

In 1967 came the 123GT that was a 130 with high compression B18B engine, M41 gearbox, fully reclining seats, front fog and driving lights, alternator, fender mounted mirrors, special steering wheel, dash with a shelf on the passenger side, limited slip differential, and other cosmetic upgrades.

Volvo P1800 - Volvo P1800 is an automobile from Volvo. The project was started in 1957 because Volvo wanted a sports car. The man behind the project was an engineering consultant to Volvo, Helmer Petterson, who in the 1940s was responsible for the Volvo PV 444. The design work was done by Helmer´s son Per "Pelle" Petterson, who worked at Pietro Frua at that time. The Italian Carrozzeria Pietro Frua design firm (a subsidiary of Ghia) built the first three prototypes, designated: P958-X1, P958-X2 and P958-X3. The engine was the B18 with dual carburettors with the M40 gearbox. The engine produced 100 hp (75 kW).

The first public pictures were released in 1959. At the time of its launch, it was thought that because of its then-futuristic looks, the P1800 would have a long production life. It did have a long life, although stylistically the finned rear end would date rapidly.

Volvo S90 - Volvo 960 is an automobile from Volvo. It was the high-end version of Volvo 940 and the replacement for Volvo 760. Production ended in 1998, but the last two years were called Volvo S90/Volvo V90 instead.

The very first 1995 960 rolled off the assembly line on June 27, 1994.

Volvo 960 - Volvo 960 is an automobile from Volvo. It was the high-end version of Volvo 940 and the replacement for Volvo 760. Production ended in 1998, but the last two years were called Volvo S90/Volvo V90 instead. The 1992-1994 Volvo 960's were built in Kalmar, Sweden. The very first Volvo 960 rolled off the assembly line on August 12, 1991 as a 1992 model. The 1995-1998 960s were built in Goteborg, Sweden. The very first 1995 960 rolled off the assembly line on June 27, 1994. All US cars were equipped with a Asin Warner automatic gearbox, European cars were also available with a manual gearbox, a strong new design that derived from the Volvo 850 gearbox.

Volvo 740 - Introduced in the U.S. for the 1985 model year, the 740 was a less optioned version of the Volvo 760 model. The 740 was a breath of fresh air for the Swedish auto manufacturer. The 740 was intended to be a midsize car that offered more style, performance, and luxury than the venerable 240 series cars.

In the U.S., the 740 series of vehicles were offered from 1985-1992 as a 4-door sedan (known internally as the 744) and a 5 door wagon (known internally as the 745). In the early 1980's, the Volvo numbering system for automobiles, which had been based on a definition by the vehicles SERIES + CYLINDERS + DOORS, began to break down and was formally abandoned with the introduction of their five-cylinder front wheel drive cars in 1993. However the original system is still used by Volvo enthusiasts and engineers. Production of the 740 ceased in 1992, though the engine, transmission, chassis, and other details lived on in the Volvo 940, which essentially was a re-skinned 740.

Volvo 200 Series - Essentially a facelift of the earlier 140 series, the 200 was available as the 4-cylinder 240 series or the 6-cylinder 260 series. As with its predecessor it was available with coupe, sedan, and station wagon bodystyles. The original Volvo nomenclature consisted of three numbers: the first letter indicated the model series, the second the number of cylinders, and the third the number of doors. So a 244 would be a four-cylinder sedan. However by the mid-1980s, all models were called 240.

Key differences from the previous car was the use of the OHC B21 engine which replaced the older OHV B20 engine. During the first years of production, the B21 was an option but eventually became standard.

Other improvements included a new dashboard, and more modern front-end styling, although they did little to disguise the 1967 vintage of the original design.

The 200 series incorporated many improvements over its predecessor, the Volvo 140 and 164, including:

* Better crash protection with very large front and rear crumple zones

* McPherson front struts for more room in the engine bay

* Rack & pinion steering for more precise steering

Volvo Sugga - Volvo Sugga (Sow) is the nickname for the PV800 series of automobiles from Volvo. The Sugga series includes the military 4WD Raptgb 915 (military name), TP21/P2104 (Volvo military designation), P2104 (Volvo civilian designation). It was powered by a 90 hp, 3.67 litre inline 6 mated to a Volvo E9 gearbox. 2WD versions included the PV821.

The model was introduced in 1938 with the taxis PV801 (with a glass division between the front and rear seat) and the PV802 (without the glass division). It was also available as a chassis with longer wheelbase called PV810. In 1940 a chassis called PV800 with the same wheelbase as the taxis was introduced. 1947 to 1948 a last series was made with updated engine called PV821 and PV822. A civilian version called PV831 (or "Disponent") was also built.
