Volvo P1800 Brochure
Nigel was kind enough to send me this brochure cover for the 1961 P1800…
“I thought you might enjoy this cover from the ‘61 P1800 brochure along with this link to some great early advertising graphics. I especially like the one showing a couple who have driven their new auto to lakeside for a little fishing. It is so typically Swedish. …
… I also thought I should clarify for your readers that the P1800 was always a Swedish automobile. But the assembly was contracted to Jensen Motors in Britain who in turn contracted the manufacture of the car’s unibody to Pressed Steel Company’s plant in Scotland.”
Thanks for the brochure, Nigel, and for the clarification. I didn’t mean to infer that the P1800 was a “British Volvo”.

I was surprised to see such an active club base for these cars. They did look pretty sleek in their day, but I read that by the late 60's they were looking old. That surprises me because they look pretty darn good today.
Isn't it neat that someone saves all this old stuff so we can look back and remember the good old days?
this is still an awesome looking car. i'm shopping for one to restore. if you know anyone with one to sell (preferably on the east coast but I will travel) let me know.
