Back then Volvo was a very simple car,with simple or limited options, but in 1972, is when they came with more options, like A/C interiors, now they would have vynil, leather, power steering,trim packages, rims or mag wheels, fog lights
My parents had a 1972 4 dr. it lasted till 1983 by then it was all rusted out. The u-joint broke on the drive shaft as my mom was returning home, and hit the bump at the bottom of the drive way.
I wish I could say that I've owned or driven a Volvo. Unfortunately I've not. I've seen plenty of this vintage, and I've ridden in a couple as a passenger. But I've never driven one.
as much as i love the 140s, 164s and 1800 (own at least 1 of all 3) and 72 is my favourite year, this ad film is truly awful. i cringed through pretty much all of it.
It is always interesting to see old promos of the cars
I had a 1972 144..
Great car.
I loved my 1990 Volvo 745

Agreed, the advert is a long sequence of arty fetishistic crap.
I have to agree. Not many shots of the cars' exteriors.
Great cars. Totally naff ad. (69 144 DL Auto)
