Volvo Duett P210

September 21st, 2007 by Rolph · 2 Comments

I was hoping to see something modern and fast today, but ran into this nice Volvo Duett instead. Oh well, it is a nice car so why not? This P210 Volvo was built between 1953 and 1969, but since it does not have a split windscreen, I reckon it isn’t an early model. It is well kept, though, and I admire the sleek lines on what in a fairness is a big car. This car was basically used as a small truck, but the ladder frame made it possible to rebuilt the car into lots of versions. The Volvo P210 wasn’t really renewing or anything, but being a reliable workhorse, a comfortable car and as durable as a Volvo can be, it was widely popular.

and it is safe to say that the old commercial vehicle still has a lot of admirers. Just Google for some enthusiast car clubs all over the world :-)

For some elaborated specs:a happy owner of a Volvo Duett P210, version 21134 CL

    This wagon still has its dash padding. But if you look you can see that this model does not have the rear passenger roll down windows.
