If trying to find something really Swedish and well known around the world, it has to be Volvo – if not talking about Swedish meatballs or blond, long-legged Swedish girls…
I simply had to take a shot of this poster at the garage where they changed to summer tires for our car – since they didn’t have any Swedish girl posters (lol).
Volvo… a symbol for high Swedish quality and technologyI want that red Volvo PV in the left corner. I want it badly. Did I tell you that last summer we almost did bid on a Volvo PV at a countryside auction at our summer island?
It was so close, we had to bit ourselves in the tongue to not make a bid. It was the practical side of us that won – where would we put it when back at home in the city since we have no garage? *sigh*
I’ve actually been taking numerous road trips in Sweden in a Volvo Duett (upper left corner), but a red one. They’re not so comfortable to go in, but very practical when it’s comes to stuffing a lot of luggage.
Which one would you want to have…?
Come on, I know you want to speed along the coastline in one of those cool cars, dressed in vintage clothes and pretend to be in the good old days…
Lifecruiser ♥ Swedish Classic Cars
I don’t care about cars. I need 4 wheels, breaks, a stirring weel and automatic. And it has to be small ! lol ! Fortunately Mr. G. doesn’t care either, he is a Ferrari fan but doesn’t like to drive in it !
Really, Gattina? Not at all? No favorite car at all? I could think of a lot of cars I think is beautiful, cool or even cute… *giggles*
My husband has a volvo 164 1971. He is working on it. I must say that that car is comfortable. It is almost like sitting on a sofa. Love Volvo classic cars. They just run and run and run.
Great poster! I love seeing old Volvo’s on the road. I would probably take the dark green one at the front.
Sounds cool, Al
Yes, the old classic Volvos really are made of super quality and runs and runs for ages. Not so much the newer models though 
Me too James. All classic cars. It’s like being thrown back in time
