1968 Volvo Amazon 121
The Volvo Amazon 121 was a mid-sized car manufactured by the Swedish car manufacturer Volvo between 1956 and 1970. The Amazon 121 was introduced in 1961 as a four-door sedan and was later followed by a two-door coupe and a five-door station wagon. It is worth noting that the Amazon was the first Volvo model to be widely exported and has subsequently gained popularity worldwide.
The Amazon 121 had a durable and reliable design with a strong emphasis on safety, which was characteristic of Volvo cars at the time.
The Amazon 121 is known for its distinctive styling, which was ahead of its time and showcased Volvo's commitment to both practicality and aesthetics. It had a classic and timeless look, with a prominent chrome grille, large windows for excellent visibility and a spacious interior for its size. The Amazon was also praised for its comfortable ride, solid build quality and robust technology.
This Swedish-sold example was delivered on 18-06-1968 to its first owner and the second owner took over the car on 01-11-1973 and owned the car until 2017 when his daughter took over ownership and then sold it on within the family in 2023.
