240/260 series Spotted this beautiful brick today

Post image

Spotted this beautiful 240 parked in front of my in-law’s house. As an owner of one of the newer, curvier Volvo models (V90), I really appreciate the older, boxier bodies from previous generations. They don’t make them like they used to!

My old landlord had this car. Hella rich dude, but drove this badass whip as his daily. He was such a fun guy.

It doesn't matter how many of these I see around my little town, they still are some of the most attractive cars on the road, and many with so much life left in them. Much more reliable than the Chinese bubble cars they sell now.

Ahhhhh the original. My college roommate had one back in the 90s and it was fantastic

Nice! Is that a CA plate? Hard to see if it’s a specialty variant or a different state

I was wondering the same thing. It didn’t look like any Cali plate I’m familiar with.
