Volvo Cars, the premium car maker, celebrates its 90th anniversary at the world's biggest show for classic vehicles, Techno Classica in Essen, Germany, 5 – 9 April.
On 17 August 1966, the Volvo 144 was presented in the midst of an ongoing manhunt. With this new model series, Volvo could develop into a considerably bigger car maker. In eight years, no fewer than 1.25 million cars were produced – creating Volvo’s first million seller.
At the end of November 1967, Volvo presented the third VARIANT in what was now developing into a complete car family known as the 140 Series: the Volvo 145.
