Where did the 140's go? 140-160

I also think the 140's are under appreciated. Volvo took years to come up with a successor for the 122. What they ended up with is a clean, spacious, reliable, efficient automobile combining quintessential, timeless Scandanavian design with legendary Gothenberg tank-like construction. Upgrading your 122 brakes? 140 already has boosted 4-wheel disks. Upgrading from B-18 to B-20? Comes standard with the 140. Want better seats that recline or have headrests? The 140 has you covered. Need to haul stuff? The 140 trunk is cavernous. Safety important to you? Remember that ad where they stacked 10 cars up on the roof of a 140?

On the other hand, nothing beats a 122.

As of mid December, there was a nice, white, 1-family owned, 1970 142 with a for sale sign in the window in Willamette Heights in Portland. But it was an automatic. I can't remember exactly, but it was near the intersection of the NW Vaughn and 31st Ave on a dead end street. Hopefully someone will save this one from being parted out or.... sent to the crusher.

Regards
