"A stylish and early Amazon in a nice and pleasant usable condition."

Description

This is a very late B16 Amazon from the 1960 model year in a good, usable condition. It was sold new in Skåne to a painter living in Lund. The Amazon was renovated in 2015, undergoing metal work, welding, and painting. Some of the welding is of a utilitarian nature but serves its purpose. This particular car retains its unusual original front, which disappeared from the production line in 1961 when certain changes were made, such as larger holes for the grill halves. This happened concurrently with the introduction of the B18 engine. It also has original-mounted belts, which Volvo was the first in the world to have. Clean, nice, and well-maintained both inside and out. Also a clean and tidy engine room and trunk. The car comes with some documentation, such as older inspection protocols, an old registration document, and a lubrication schedule. Delivered inspected and ready to drive.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine runs smoothly and evenly, but the car was not test driven on the road at the time of the photo shoot as the weather did not permit. A new 6-volt battery was installed in October 2023.

  • Interior condition:

    Stylish interior in original design. The upholstery has come loose a bit on the backrest of the driver's seat, see picture. The headliner is in fine condition. The padding on the dashboard has some cracks, see picture. Some sealing strips are somewhat dry and partially over-painted, see pictures.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paint and body are in decent condition. Some of the welds and repairs are of a functional nature, see pictures. The chrome trim is somewhat worn. The rear bumper has rust on the left side. Nice tires with good tread depth

  • General condition:

    An Amazon that can be used. It looks good and has some minor flaws it's not ashamed of. Ready to drive enthusiast car that is ready to be used.
