Volvo 1800 (ENG)

This book is the story of the Volvo 1800, which was primarily created to increase awareness of Volvo and boost sales of Volvo cars outside of Sweden. The book describes Volvo’s history from its beginning in 1927 until the last Volvo 1800 drove off the assembly line in 1973. However, the focus is on the design phase of the Volvo 1800, the problems of finding a location where the car could be produced, and the early problems that production was affected by.

The book describes in detail the 12 model years that were produced between 1961 and 1973. The reader will also learn about the use of the Volvo 1800 in films and commercials, as well as some famous people who have owned a Volvo 1800. The book contains more than 1,000 photos and illustrations, a significant part of which has not previously been published.
