Techno Classic 2016: Volvo's Estate Of Affairs

To mark the launch of its brand-new V90, Volvo is using Techno Classica at Essen this week to showcase its long and proud estate car heritage, with an extensive display of its wagons through the decades.

This includes the Swedish marque’s original post-War estate, the 1950s PV455 based Duett, raised up high above the display stand. At ground level Volvo’s most iconic estates can be admired, including an 12-Series Amazon, and early (1967) 145, a sporting P1800, a performance 850 T5, plus the arguably the most famous Volvo wagon of all, and the darling of all antique dealers, the 245, displayed in its final early 1990s ‘Polar’ run-out edition.
