The P1800ES "shooting brake" started out as a '72 model and was produced for all of 2 years. The first of the "Boxy but good" Volvo 145 station wagons came out as a '68 model, and continued in production (later on as the face-lifted 245) through '93.
I don't see this as "Boxy". Like it's brother, P1800S, this wagon has beautiful lines that make your eye move from front to back, and then to front again. It looked like a fun car to have and drive, and like the 'S' model, it probably handled well too.
A friend of mine had an 'S' model in junior and senior years in high school and he had a ball with it.

I don't see it as boxy either... I'm not sure if I confused the point. I think it's sporty looking, and the box wagons are boring. this one is cool
DeleteYup, very cool Jess, very cool.
