- The Volvo Amazon is a mid-size car manufactured by Volvo Cars from 1956 to 1970 and introduced in the USA as the 122S at the New York International Auto Show in April 1959.
The Amazon shared both the wheelbase from its predecessor, the PV, as well as its tall posture and high H-point seating - while offering three model configurations: 2-door sedan, 4-door sedan and wagon. In 1959 Volvo provided front seat belts as standard equipment on all the cars, including the export models, becoming the world's first manufacturer to take this step - later becoming the first car featuring three-point seat belts.
When introduced, the car was called the Amason (with an 's'), which derives from the fierce female warriors of Greek mythology, the Amazons. Kreidler, German manufacturer of motorcycles had already registered the name, and the two companies agreed Volvo could only use the name domestically (i.e., within Sweden), modifying the spelling to Amazon. Subsequently, Volvo began its tri-digit nomenclature and the line became known as the 120 Series.
The Amazon was originally manufactured at Volvo's Lundby plant in Gothenburg and subsequently at the company's Torslandaverken, which began operating in 1964. By the end of production, 234,653 four-door models, 359,917 two-door models and 73,220 station wagons had been produced, 60% of them for export - for a total of 667,791 vehicles.

Wonder if this is my car
Amazing that it can actually go faster then a truck. Well, Volvo drivers don't like to drive too fast.
"Protected from rust". Yeah right. They started to rust in about 10 to 20 years.
British and American cars of the same era started to rust in about 10 to 20 minutes!

Inside a heated garage. Should have wrote that.
the entire car was dipped in rust proofer before it was painted at the factory.
i just got a 67 wagon in california with original paint nothing more then surface rust .
It's less rain over there than here. Wich results in less rust.
ILikeEngines compared to a 10 yr old Ferrari i saw that was being cut in half and had rust inside all the sections of tube frame also in California.
Shame we do no longer have “no speed limits on the highway”
