I call this the car the Swedish warthog because of its origin and sheer strength, the Volvo 240 Series really Lived Up to its Billing when it mattered to strength.

Assembled in Kalmar Sweden in the Later part of 1974 the Volvo 240 Series was truly a delight to behold during its glory days, it was initially utilized as an executive car in most parts of Europe owing to its size, with an option of five different variations the
Volvo 240 was available in 242DL, 245L, 242L, 244DL and 244GL.

My Favorite Version amongst these was is the 244DL largely because of its styled headlamps.

Features of the Volvo 240 Series includes, Inline Four and Six Cylinder Engines, Four and Five Speed Manual Transmission, Three and Four Speed Automatic Transmission, Hydraulic Composite Braking Systems, McPherson Strut Suspensions.

The Volvo 240 Series Was A delight On wheels What Distinguished This Car was its Loud revving Sound Which was peculiar to it alone.

My drawback on this car Happens to be its poor handling Little wonder though due to its size, the Volvo 240 series was discontinued in 1993.

Any experience of this Majestic Car? Please share your thoughts.
