 The History of Volvo Cars
By 1964 Volvo had opened a new production plant in Torslanda, Sweden capable of producing up to 200,000 cars a year and by 1966 the Volvo 140 family was introduced firstly as a saloon and later as an estate, helping to cement a family market that Volvo was rapidly claiming as its own.
The Volvo 240 range replaced the 140 with even higher levels of safety and quality and was joined by the smaller Volvo 340 models from Holland to take Volvo’s sales past the 4 million mark by the end of the 1970’s.
They, like the Volvo C70 coupe and convertible that were introduced later that year, were cars that combined all of Volvo’s traditional values of safety, environmental care with sporty, elegant and exciting design and engineering.

Compared to the Volvo Amazon, the 140 was a radical new design with the only similar styling features being the split grill and some parts of the interior.
Around the same time, the Volvo 164 was produced, which shared much of the 140 series styling (except for the front), but incorporated a 6-cylinder engine.
Volvo produced a highroofed version of the Volvo 145 estate wagon known as an Express as a replacement for the Volvo Duett.

Volvo 740/760, 940/960 Estate and V90 (1985-1998) A further stride forward in the estate car concept was taken in 1985 with the introduction of a five-door version of Volvo 740/760, which radiated total harmony and well-thought-out design solutions.
Volvo 850 was a different kind of estate, perhaps more of a sporty five-door saloon, with its daring tail-lamp arrangement and a rear compartment that few or no other estates on the market could equal in terms of safety, smartness and versatility.
Volvo V40, the second model in the new compact series, became the first Volvo to carry the designation of V for versatility.

  volvo 245   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In the late 1980's I owned a 1974 145 (wagon) which I also liked but the 240 is far superior in ride, stability, power, and overall feeling of safety (it just feels like a much sturdier car).
Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the 145 but it was a dark green stick shift four speed (thank god it was a stick as a friend had a '74 142 automatic and that was REALLY underpowered).
The 145 met its demise at 155k miles when it's engine made very loud noises and lost all power.

 Volvo - Wikicars
The Volvo design team invented both the 'safety cage' and 'crumple zone' concept, where passengers are protected in a strong, encircling frame and the energy of a crash is absorbed by destruction of the hood or trunk of the car.
Volvo also was the first company to produce cars with padded dashboards starting in late 1956 with their Amazon model.
In the early 1970s, Volvo acquired the passenger car division of the Dutch company DAF, and marketed their small cars as Volvos before releasing the Dutch-built Volvo 340, which went on to be one of the biggest-selling cars in the UK market in the 1980s.

 Volvo Duett Information
The design is based on the Volvo PV sedan and the front is the same, but instead of coil springs on all four corners as with the PV, the rear of the Duett is supported by leaf springs.
Use of the separate ladder chassis provided Volvo with an easy solution in their desire to produce a suitable commercial vehicle even though some thought it a regression when pointing out that the basis for the wagon was developed from Volvo's first unibodied car; the PV444 introduced in 1947.
The utility of the car was highly regarded and as a replacement, Volvo produced a highroofed version of the Volvo 145 estate wagon known as an Express.

 Volvo Classics - Volvo PV544 - Volvo Duett
While Volvo enjoyed a reputation for building fine automobiles from the beginning in 1927, most of this marquee's fans acknowledge that the defining moment determining Volvo's reputation for building solid durable cars that were a delight to drive commenced with the PV444's introduction.
Noteworthy in Volvo history is that the PV was the company's first unitary body design.
The car, which had endeared itself to a majority of its owners, prompted Volvo to run self-deprecating advertisements (in late 1965 and early 1966) imploring these people to not be so angry with the company.
