Description

A 144 is the first Volvo with the stronger safety bumpers that were added due to tougher crash rules in California, Volvo's most important market. The car was delivered new in November 1973. This model laid the foundation for Volvo's reputation as the world's safest car. The car spent most of its life in the salt free north area of Sweden Arvidsjaur and Jokkmokk since new and until this year, when it was bought by Volvo enthusiast ended up further south.
The car is in a nice non-renovated original condition, colorful 1970s orange with a beautiful orange color, striped orange-brown décor and the beefy bumpers. The car was repainted in the original color 15 years ago due to stone chips and sun-bleached surfaces. This paint is well made and still has a fine orange shiny finish. The car has been used very little in the last ten years due to age reasons, and its newly inspected/MOT and newly serviced.

Facts about the model

När vissa delstater i USA införde krav på att bilar skulle tåla småkrockar upp till 5km/tim, (från 1974-års modell) kom alla bilar i USA att utrustas med mer kraftiga stötfångare. Med dessa blev fick bland andra Volvos modeller samt Saab och Porsche lite tuffare utseende, medan exempelvis BMW och Mercedes inte blev lika lyckade varför dessa valde att behålla det gamla utseendet i Europa. För Volvos del valde man att upphöra med P1800 ES vid detta tillfälle då de insåg att denna modell inte skulle bli snygg med kraftigare stötfångare.
Året efter, 1975 kom efterföljaren, 240-modellen, som fick mer integrerade stötfångare vilka omarbetades 1981, och fick leva fram till 1993 då modellen lades ner för att ge produktionsplats till Volvo nya 850-modellen.
