You will note that sometimes I say one of 67 and one of 68. There is some confusion on the dup;icate assignment of an early chassis, number 20 I believe. It's been cleared up by so,e direct sources as false, bringing the true total of the car to 67 produced. More than a dozen are still unaccounted for. See the companion article to this video in the Volvo Club of America "Rolling" Magazine July/August 2022.

Hi David ! I just wanted to inform you that in august 19 - 20 the big volvomeet here in gothenburg , sweden , called VROM !
Beautiful film! Well done!! You really did a wonderful job at capturing friendship, community and the love for the Swedish meatball on film. Both David's are jems in the Volvo community!
I live near Lake Berryessa and I take my E34 wagon on those roads often. It's such a fun stretch and I'm glad you got to experience the area
My first time up 101 through San Jose was on my E34 wagon. Fantastic machines!
I did wonder what happened to the lack of uploads, but now I'm relieved. I hope the work on the 240 wagons is going well.
Nice to see you back again David👍
David, you bring a nice, creative approach to telling the story of our beloved Volvos. Thanks!
He's back! good for us😉
I have my beautiful 1973 O1800es running wonderful😎 Weber carb 38/38 dges with 32 degrees advance. No ping and throttle now responds very well.
I have never met other Volvo owners who love their cars like these people. Glad I could see it.
wow i have new respect for volvo , that thing is nice!
What a great way to spend a nice time with other crazy Volvo owners. To be trusted with one of the rarest Voolvos in existence is a great honor. Now let's get that top off and proper repair done to it. The 28mpg is very good considering the rpm you had to run to keep up with the Car. A traffic. Well done David.
I know I’m making it up in my head but Volvos all have that sound the same, the doors, the starters, the engines.
Gosh I love Volvo’s.
That was an hour well spent. What an enjoyable documentary of your trip. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride
Great video. I love older people...the trust he has for you. Great car. BTW, your voice is epic and mellifluous.
Awesome video! Those photos are gorgeous. It was nice to see RobertDIY on here. BTW that dust is killer, one of the reasons I still mask up - it's allergy season.
Great to see the P1900! Only seen one in Gothenburg last summer in the Volvo museum. And the meeting was great to see as well. Our weddingcar was a P1800. Owning a p1800 ES is still a dream. Until then I will enjoy my 945 turbo. Subscribed and hope to see more great videos. Tnx and greetings from the Netherlands.
Enjoyed it immensely. Thank you.
Beautiful film David, thank's.
What a beautiful story and wonderful journey. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! We greatly appreciate it.
A brilliant piece of film making.Thanks!
Hey David,great film, the content and story r awesome, keep up the great works!😉
Thanks for beautiful video David! You have told the story so well showing this amazing community.
Nicely done David!! Loved the story! 😀
Great video David. Maybe your best yet. I love all of those vintage Volvos. Beautiful country also.
Dear David Bello
👍👌👏👏👏 Nice, nice, nice! That's a really great video. What impressive landscapes and pictures, WOW! Very well done, Sir, very well indeed! Congrats! I had tons of compassion with you seeing you trying to sort out your long legs in this relatively small driving compartment. Hope your back wasn't hurting too much after this journey. I would have loved to see Mr. Hunt in Davis. But unfortunately he was even unfit to fly. Get well soon, Sir. By the way: Hope the cabriolet roof can be fixed.
Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing this adventure.
Best regards luck and health to all involved people and dogs. ;-)
This is so artsy. Well done.
Your musings are poetic, and you have a terrific voice. "Enough for sentiment," perhaps - but never too much with your fine delivery.
Hey David…. When are You coming to Sweden… You now You have too😎
The trust this man delivers to you is quite something. Your love for volvos melts even old mens hearts :p
Thank you so much! Its really amazing to watch this footage with amazing music selection. Reminds me of my solitary trips in Sweden in neglected 854. And more: ithink this is the same kind of experience as described in "zen and motorcycle maintenance art". That's a life i dream of
Thanks David
Really enjoyed watching this film.. It captured everything.
Very enjoyable, respect from an English volvo 940 driver
That new v60 looked so cool, thanks for this video
Hallo from Sweden!! So nice to see all these beautiful cars and esp. p1900 ! I myself was raised in a Volvo PV 444 KS 1956, maroon red. Very nice film and producer! Looking forward to see more from US.
Robert 😃 Awesome video and story
Awesome job, D! We just watched it and enjoyed it so much! This is Daniel and Karina, with Tortoni! We want more! You really captured not only the car enthusiast part but also how that reaches and unites people along the way. See you at our coffee place!
Thank you so much for watching, Daniel and Karina! See you at the coffee shop :D
Thank you for this! I see my little C30! :)
It's so good to know that, with all the media nonsense and negativity, Americans are still out there. Good job!
So much gravy imma have a heart attack. Im starting my volvo journey Friday with a 744. Hopefully my bike sells so I can also buy a 1800es. Love the green volvos btw, hoping to paint my 740 a dark pine green 💚
-love from Missouri
Good luck! Take care of those arteries 😎
@@DavidBello 17 and already wanting to spend all my cash on swedish excellence. Here's to hoping I can buy the 1800 soon after the 744 repairs
I am surprised that Mr. HUNT didn*t loan you the hat for the show, great addition since I believe Mr. Hunt got it with the car.
😂
OMG. Have to plan a visit. We use to go to Petaluma so it´s nearby. The tail lights on P1900 come from Chevrolet 1949-1950. I have one and it comes from Petaluma. Great film, I enjoyed it much.
Yup, it's the old Volvos but more importantly.... the people who love them. God bless "ye old Volvo boneyard" in Central Ma.
Well done, when is the next meet? Thanks ...
Loved how you reffered to your XC90 as your financial issues. I have one as well and can relate.
Eight transmission repair attempts. EIGHT!
@@DavidBello holy fuck dude
I didn't see any 780's, except for those badges. Must be getting rare. Same for the 262C's.
Nice roadmovie and show report.
I've been posting on the turbobricks forum since 2003 i think. Names sound familiar eventhough i'm over in Europe. Maybe some day i will visit California. Looks nice. Has a bit of a southern European feel/vibe to it.
Nice film, is Mr. Hunt*s Volvo 164 back on the roads?.
I love that thing.
In case ya didn’t know, UC Davis has a great veterinary school; many vets I’ve met were graduates from there. But hey, I know the B18 and maybe B20 well having built the 122 and 145 I owned decades ago. Sold that 145 to a hippie babe (a Natalie Wood lookalike thinking back about that sale) who a few years later abandoned it on a street in Ocean Beach. She apparently never registered it in her name as I was contacted by the impound lot asking if I wanted the car back. Declined that opportunity as I had no space for it back then. Hate to think what happened to that old wagon in the hands of a junkyard. But have been thinking I’d like to find a 122, 544, or 140 of some type or condition even though I’m gradually aging out of restoring any more old cars. But the simplicity of these are an attractive incentive. Recently found a cache of old Volvo parts in the garage I had forgotten about from sometime ago. Great lil episode. Great Volvo happening. Thank you.
I invite you to Poland in Europe to see P121 from 1969, V480 Turbo from 1988, V945 D24TiC from 1994 and V40 from 2013.
Great video of a great meet. Every time I watch a David Bello vid the urge to do my own increases. One day I may surprise myself by uploading a vid of my own.
Nicely done David.
+1 for the sheeeeeeeeesh harmony
That is something you really don’t think of is the shoes, big old sneakers hadn’t even been invented yet. Just wanted to say how awesome this video was, frankly I think that you should be getting a kickback from the California tourism department.
Beautiful car and beautiful countryside! Show. Only rear wheel drive cars should be allowed😎
Awesome Car!!!!! Is it for sale???? I want to buy it!!!!
Thank god for the R's self leveling suspension. Lol
Beautiful car. Why is it so loud in the cabin? I know it's a convertible but still. Is it maybe the design of the soft top? The rear window looks strange- inset which will cause turbulence and buffeting. Same for the way it sags between the frame.
Was there no 740's or 780's?
41:38 annnd the first 145 of the show ?
Great film. I'm the owner of the P1900 with manufacturing no.5. A yellow beauty. Who is the singer in the end of your film?
Wow, how great to hear from another! The singer is someone on UA-cam doing a cover of the song. I don’t have the name
Ok.Thanks
Nissan Figaro похож на Volvo sport.!👍
41:22 which one is "nice", the blue jeans or the yoga pants? :P
Did the engine sound so bad?
David, I’ve enjoyed your videos for the last few years. They encouraged me to persevere on my restoration. I /restored a 91 240 wagon in Tucson which I gave to my Daughter in Austin, Tx after her car was totaled a couple of years ago. She’s been using it as a daily driver and will now be placing it on Bring A Trailer. I’d like to ask if you could reach out to me so I could send you the link to BAT when it comes up with the thought that you’d pass on the link to your community. She’s been using it as a daily driver. It’s still a great looking and operating car! Thanks, Pete..
Sounds like a lil V8 when it just starts
Lose a wheel like that? Hell yeh it stays with you
Nize .. just nize .
Where are the 1800’s? RB
👏👍😁🇸🇪
