A review showing Volvo Cars' history since 1927 when the first car - Jacob - was made in Gothenburg, Sweden. Containing uniques footage from the Volvo film archives.
There was an excellent documentary on the History Channel last April 14th showing Volvos history, innovation, and several awards. I had it DVR'd, but my DVR's HD took a dump on me, and I lost the episode. I wish I could find it now...
Er dette myte eller virkelighet? Jeg har hørt en historie om Volvo da jeg studerte markedsføring at da Volvo skulle få folk i USA til å kjøpe Volvo så trodde ikke amerikanerne at en bil som hadde et så høyt sikkerhetsnivå kunne være så billig. Hva gjorde så Volvo? De satte opp prisen på bilen, og den solgte som varmt hvetebrød!
I get pissed when I see a car commercial on TV boasting that their newest and greatest car gets over 30 miles a gallon like it’s a big deal. My 89 Volvo 245 TANK gets 30 mpg in the summer. My 83 245 TANK gets 27. Its been 28 years. Shouldn’t we be able to increase efficiency at least a little?
@ijkd I'm not going to say the c30 is a bad car, but i don't feel that it has the same kind of allure the p1800 had. I'd like something along the lines of what Mattias Vocks designed.
I know this comment has been made 12 years ago. But how the hell is there no driver in the two shots from 3:54?? I'm thinking, maybe for the advertisement's look... (with a hidden cable towing the car for the gig....) but then again; why would somebody think that a car is better represented without its driver, the most important factor of the equation?
Sweet! I wish volvo would upload some old footage of their cars. It's fun to watch!
Thanks Volvo for designing & inventing the Seat Belt. 😊

nice.. I loved the old footage
It would be fantastic if they would create a p1800 for the 21century.
