"Good object in original condition, dented on the left side."

Description

Bil Bengtsson is a successful company that has been around for over 90 years. Over the years, they have collected some cars that were worth saving for the future. As they now go through the collection, which needs to be reduced due to space constraints, a number of interesting vehicles are being sold. Most of them have been standing for a long time and require a startup service as well as a brake overhaul.

This Amazon has had a previous owner and was added to the collection in 1991 when it was taken out of use and has been in storage since then.

Facts about the model

With the Amazon model, Volvo Cars initiated a new era where they challenged other car manufacturers with a beautiful body, high safety, and reliable road handling. The debut took place in 1956 and the model lived on for a total of 14 years, with the last Amazon produced in 1970. The model series complemented both the older PV and the newer 140 series during its lifetime. In 1969, the Amazon's second-to-last production year, the car was still considered attractive to Volvo customers due to its high reliability and robust construction.

Many consider the 121, the two-door version, to be the most beautiful Amazon variant. With a design that is close to Italian lines - design chief Jan Wilsgaard was inspired by Italian cars of the time when he designed the Amazon in the early 1950s - and in black lacquer, the Amazon is both sober and elegant at the same time. According to Wilsgaard, American cars and especially Kaiser were also sources of inspiration.

The well-proven B18 driveline with a four-speed manual gearbox is easy to service and maintain, and there are still plenty of parts available for the Amazon, even newly produced ones.

The first eight years of Amazon production took place at Volvo's original Lundbyverken factory, but with the opening of Torslandaverken in 1964, production of the Amazon was phased over to the completely new facility. The Amazon was also built in Belgian Gent and the model was also assembled in Halifax (Canada), Durban (South Africa), and Arica (Chile). In 1969, Volvo discontinued the previous B18 engine in favor of the newer and larger B20, which added extra power to an already strong Volvo model. The last Volvo Amazon was produced on July 3, 1970.
