I don't know why, but I really enjoy hearing the planetary whine of old automatics. As I understand it, the Ford AOD is descended from the BW in this car. Back when I would bike ride around Toronto and a car (usually a cab) would come up beside me at a stop, the whine when it dropped into low was so distinctive. There was a fascinating SAE paper on the subject of gear noise, so there is serious engineering discussion about it.
that car equipped with the manual gearbox is a completely different beast to drivem much more enjoyable to drive
This is a gorgeous car! I love old Volvos!❤
