To the gentleman who presented his car: Thanks for a very clear and concise report. It's great to see a classic car being used long after most have gone to the junkyard.

Bought a 1999 Volvo wagon 7 years ago and still driving it!! Those old Volvo's are extremely reliable!

Ah, the good old days, when one could see the ground from the top of the engine bay.

I'm driving a 1989 Volvo 740 stationwagon, now in the year 2020. I love the fact that I'm driving an 80's car in the 20's. It runs like a dream and I'm in love.

I always liked the 'Boxier Design' of Volvos back then...
Good cars...

I had a 1982 Volvo 244 GL that made it to 804, 000 miles, motor refreshed once, and 2 transmissions. Finally was retired due to rust - I went to jack up the rear of the car at the factory jack point and the jack pushed through the body (was doing brake work). That was the end of that ol' car. Still have several volvo's kicking around to this day. They don't die indeed.

The Swedish version of a crown Vic. Indestructible, industrial quality, bulldozer with no expiration date.

Volvo, Volkswagen, Mercedes and BMW were such solid vehicles pre 1995.

My grandfather was a mechanic for 40 years (he retired in the 80's). I saw him own many cars and his daily drivers were always 70's Volvos because he didn't want to work on his own car. He had a 1974 Volvo 145S (the car I learned to drive in) he drove for it 13 years with over 300, 000 miles on it and the only maintenance was a clutch cable every couple of years.

I bought one of these new in 1988, 5 speed manual. In Australia, they came with air conditioning and a long range fuel tank standard. Terrific car!. One time, due to a family emergency, I had to get to an airport in a real hurry. Flat to the floor in 5th it was doing around 180 km/hr for about an hour! No problem!

I had a 79 244 DL with 1.1 million miles on it and was just breaking the Factory Alternator in 2006. And yes the factory AM radio still worked.

I have a Volvo 940 estate with 212, 000 miles on the clock and I love driving it.

I used to work as a test driver at Volvo's proving ground Hällered located in Sweden. The 200-700 and 900 series were unbreakable, the 300 and 400 series less so. We compared Volvo's with our competitors, not many could take the same beating with a few exceptions. Mercedes 190 were strong but Fords Escort could not put up with the punishment, they just fell apart.

if everyone thinks like him
manufactures would be forced to make cars like these again

The 1971 radio commercial for Volvo had this iconic slogan. *We build them the way we build them, because we have to.❤❤❤*

[Yondaily]

I have a Volvo and I approve this message!

[PistonShack]

Finally, we got Volvo on Scottie's channel. Brick time capsule will run forever. Thanks for sharing the video.

[stevee]

I love the voice over, coupled with the vintage car it's like I'm watching a documentary from 1993

[vinodthespeedfreak]

I bought my first Volvo 940 five years ago. Still driving it till today! Volvo for life.
