Welcome!  This site is dedicated to Vintage Volvo cars...mostly the models 122 (Amazon) and 1800 coupe (as also driven by Sir Roger Moore(†) playing the TV character The Saint ), and also the 444 and 544 models...keeping them running, reliable, and safe while having a bit of *fun.  We are not affiliated with Volvo or the Embassy of Sweden.  Click on this link if you were looking for the Embassy of Sweden in Washington D.C.
