The Volvo Amazon is one of the models that helped establish the brand’s global reputation. From the late nineteen fifties onward this car was produced in several body styles, including sedan and station wagon versions.
In international markets the model was known as the Volvo 122S. The car was introduced to the public at the New York International Auto Show and quickly became an important export model for Volvo. In total more than six hundred thousand examples were produced, a large portion of which were sold outside Sweden. The station wagon variant appeared in the early nineteen sixties and offered a practical addition to the existing model range.
The example we offer here began its life in sunny California. This Volvo has been restored and rebuilt in the past. During that process the body was refinished in Sahara Beige, a color that suits the overall character of this Volvo very well. The bodywork presents solid and straight, something that is also helped by the dry climate in which the car spent its early years.
The interior of this Amazon has been retrimmed in a combination of black and red leather. This gives the car a fresh appearance and forms an attractive contrast with the beige exterior. Under the hood you will find the well known B20 engine. This four cylinder unit is widely recognized for its durability and reliability and was used in several Volvo models.
In addition, this Amazon is equipped with Minilite wheels, a roof rack and a tow bar. These accessories suit the practical character of a classic station wagon very well.
The rear of the Amazon Combi features a two piece tailgate. The lower section folds downward while the upper section swings upward, making loading luggage simple and convenient.
The Volvo Amazon Combi therefore combines classic styling with genuine practicality. Well restored and carefully maintained examples are becoming increasingly difficult to find today.
