On an ocean cruise last month, one optional excursion was a visit to the Volvo Museum. Although I was not impressed by the guide, I did get to see some very interesting machinery, including a number of prototypes and concept cars. I have posted some photos from the experience at https://www.flickr.com/photos/brooklands/albums/72157680272171708 if anyone is interested.

Interesting how they copied American makes like the Airflow and 1939 Pontiac. I spent many happy hours in my late friend Bob's PV544 on ski trips to Vermont and a sports car race in Montgomery, NY where we camped out overnight. My dad also had an Amazon for a few years.
