"Volvo Amazon 2 door in black with red interior makes for a great color combination. Runs and drives well and has a lot of history."

Description

This car has spent all its life in the town it was originally sold in Växjö. The car has been owned by the same family for at least 30+ years, only driven very lightly hence the low mileage. The grandfather cherished this car and renovated it for about 8 years ago and always kept it garaged. The car comes with lots of history and includes receipts and older inspection certificates

Facts about the model

Med Amazon-modellen inledde Volvo Personvagnar AB en ny era där man utmanande de övriga biltillverkare med en vacker kaross, hög säkerhet och trygga vägegenskaper. Debuten skedde 1956 och modellen kom att leva i hela 14 år, sista Amazon tillverkades 1970. Modellserien kompletterade både den äldre PV som den nyare 140-serien under sin levnad. 1969 var Amazonens näst sista produktionsår och bilen ansågs fortfarande attraktiv för Volvokunder genom sin höga förlitlighet och robusta konstruktion. 
121, tvådörrarsversionen, anser många som den mest vackra Amazon-varianten. Med närmast italienskt linjespel – designchefen Jan Wilsgaard lät sig inspireras av dåtidens italienska bilar när han formgav Amazon under tidigt 1950-tal – och i svart lack blir Amazon både sober som elegant på samma gång. Enligt Wilsgaard var även amerikanska bilar och framförallt Kaiser en källa till inspiration.
Den välbeprövade B18-drivlinan med fyrväxlad manuell låda är lätt att serva och underhålla och det finns fortfarande gott om delar till Amazon, även som nyproducerade. 
De första åtta åren tillverkades Amazon på Volvos ursprungliga fabrik Lundbyverken men i och med Torslandaverkens invigning 1964 fasades även Amazon-produktionen över till den helt nya anläggningen. Amazon byggdes även i belgiska Gent och modellen sattes även samman i Halifax (Kanada), Durban (Sydafrika) samt Arica (Chile). 1969 slopade Volvo den tidigare B18-motorn i Amazon till förmån för den nyare och större B20 vilket skänkte extra kraft till en redan stark Volvomodell. Den sista Volvo Amazon tillverkades den 3 juli 1970.
