    Neat presentation. However I don't think it mentioned that the first car to roll off the assembly line had a little problem.

      Does this mean we'll see RWD Volvos again in this Jalopnik article?


      http://jalopnik.com/these-are-the-nine-new-volvo-models-we-get-before-2019-1688184638

      None of the associated article gives clear indication.

      I'd like REAL rear wheel drive to RETURN to Volvo ..... probably be FWD/AWD.

      This is fun, though ...

      http://jalopnik.com/the-volvo-850-wagon-is-now-officially-indestructible-1684956316

      Maybe I'll move up to 850/S70, someday ....

    great.

    but the first page could have read.

    Volvo was incorporated in 1915 as a subsidiary of AB SKF, the Swedish ball bearing manufacturer.

    In 1924, Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson, the two founders, decided to start construction of a Swedish car. Volvo was officially founded on April 14, 1927, when the first car left the factory in Hisingen, Göteborg.

      CB,

      Agreed. And thank you.

      Happy St. Patrick's. The dark green Volvo 240 GL, with manual transmission and moon roof, enjoys today.

      I'll also add: Long live all RWD drive Volvo automobiles!

      Yet, I'll again thank Assar Thorvald Nathanael Gabrielsson and Erik Gustaf Larson and all those that were and are part of Volvo Group AB and Volvo Automobile AB of Sweden.

      Volvo Forever.

      Thank you,

      John D. McGurk's, 1200 Russell, St. Louis, MO.
