There are two cars that are timeless in their design. The Volvo 1800 and the Aston Martin DB5. I told my wife if I could ever afford to own both of these beauties I would gladly get rid of the two cars we now have. She asked which car would be hers. "Your car would be whatever you buy", I replied. "These are mine". She then suggested I get a camper as well.

hey, the amazon is pretty too

Was looking for this comment. IMO the Amazon wagon is the most beautiful car. Any make.

As a Volvo owner (boxy one) ,I must admit that your Volvo is the most gorgeous, always reminds me of the saint

I just recently discovered this car, and I'm in love!!

This 1965 1800 looks even nicer than the other 1800's.

I recall sitting in one of these. I am six feet tall. The cockpit felt like it had been custom made for me. Everything felt perfectly placed. Visibility of the instruments was excellent. I cannot sit in a car today and have the steering wheel where it feels comfortable and maintain an unobstructed view of the speedometer.

That would be the greatest opening line in a James Bond spoof

Beautiful car. Reminds me of an Aston Martin DB5.

I'm surprised that this car isn't on more people's radars. What's not to like about it? It's a genuinely beautiful car that can be mistaken for an Aston Martin that comes with Volvo's legendary reliability and doesn't cost as much as a house.

What a nice sample of the P-1800,

Beautiful example! I've owned 16 Volvos and restored a half dozen more for others - never owned an 1800, but restored 2 - love those cars! (BTW, the 122S, the 142S, the 780, the S60R all beautiful machines... but I'm a bit partial to Volvos... ;) )

The first generation C70 coupes and convertibles from 1998-2004 were a stunningly beautiful car also.

The Volvo 1800 is an absolutely stunning car to look at. As well, I feel the Volvo C30 T5 R-Design shares similar accolades in my opinion.

The 1998 -2004 C70 coupe and convertibles were also a very beautiful 2 door Volvo even if they did share the hood and grill from the S70 & V70 series.

The ES reminds me of the C30 with the two doors and the glass hatch back. Have a 06 V50 made in Sweden. Thank you for the story.

I had a 72 1800 amazing car and so beautiful.

Very nice! I have had my ES since 1982. Great machine😎

It is a pleasure listening to you sir

I agree 100% and I am from Sweden. No other Swedish produced car can compete and there has been almost 100 car manufacturers in Sweden including Saab, Jössecar, Indigo and Koenigsegg.

Well, beauty is just a matter of personal taste really. It might bee the sportiest car they made at the time and it is good looking, Absolutely!! But the PV 444 and 544 is a really good looking car as well and the lines are similar to the 1946 Ford and the 120 series Amazon is`nt exactly square either. I own a 1972 142... now that´s square compared to the earlier models, but I find that car very well balanced in it´s lines for the days and I love it. Thank´s for a really nice video and cheers from Sweden.

Fab car. Is it for sale?? Great interior. Amazing design.

The P1800 is nice, but I have what I think is the nicest volvo...An 1800ES wagon. With some late model volvo alloy wheels it looks Very nice !

The Amazon is probably the mosy masculine car ever, P1800 for bachelors...

The 'Saint's' car. Not the only beauty Volvo made though..the 480 being a case in point.

Very unique best car I also love this car I wish to have this car but only dreaming for.

Gorgeous car!

I see it has the look alike Bosch electronic voltage regulator. A good way to make the generator system more reliable. Nice car!

Depends on what one calls beautiful. Very subjective. I find the 1800 beautiful, but Also the 122 and 240 - I even like the P544 to be strangely beautiful - all for different reasons😎

...air conditioning was the air conditioning of the 1960s. Although I dearly do miss the wing vent.

Absolutely superb. Although I prefer the P1800 ES.

I had the 30th one built in Sweden, it had factory wire wheels.

I'd like a coupe and a wagon.

Yess!!!!

Overdrive with the flick of a switch! Not just a pretty face.

Actually, the top section, the passenger part always looked a tad small compared to the rest of the car. I would have raised the top a bit, perhaps swept the rear window a bit farther like a Jag maybe. It has horrible headroom in fact

And has the most reliable engine ever made.

You really can't beat 60's car design for style whether it be from Europe, Australia, Japan or America. Just about every 60's car now is collectible. In 60 years time are future generations going to be excited about a current Volvo (or anything else?) Doubtful.

the Jensen deal was for 10,000 cars not 30,000 they stooped after 6,000

That was what my Jensen Cars history book says. Crazy that my two loves are Jensens and Volvos... and I didn't know for quite a few years about their relationship.

not really, the original Volvo 544 and the 122 models were very good looking cars.

Until they made the S90!

They are sweet if I could get a v8 or turbo in one I would be intersted.

The most beautiful Volvo ever made? Not really true? Think the Volvo C70 coupe and design by Ian Callum, UK. At that time designer of the Aston Martin. We can observe the Aston 'look' if we watch the C70 from the rear and at an angel.

I disagree. All of the pre 140 series were beautiful in their own way.

😁👏👍🇸🇪

Uhhhhhh. Amazon wagon???????????,?!?!?!?

Sorry, while the 1800 is a good looking car, the C30 is a step above it.

I have a 1800ES and will be putting a 'modern' treatment to it, in particular having the roof line slope down and maybe pinch in like the c30. And the body is going on a C4 corvette chassis, and either a 2.9 or 4.4 volvo rwd powerplant.

Most definitely a great shape car: plenty of space for a raft of batteries in the back, and with an electric motor at each end, it would be a beauty!

Gorgeous car!
