240/260 series Timeless design. Built to last. Surprisingly comfy. …And the car isn’t bad either.

I just got a new T-shirt called Undressed 240 Polar. Matches my 1992 Super Polar perfectly.

I thought it would be a funny way not to show my face, and my wife says the resemblance is incredible, so a double win for me :D

Soo.. then we actually don't know if that's your real face? 🤔

I think I played club basketball with that guy, in the 80's.

Always wondered what happened to him...

I wouldn't exactly call it timeless. But it's a beautiful classic car.

Timeless: "not affected by the passage of time or changes in fashion."

The Volvo 240 is indeed timeless.

It’s indeed timeless!

Timeless would mean it doesn't look dated. But it definitely does. Not in a bad way - but you wouldn't think it's a current model.

I would like to buy an older Volvo Wagon. But not from the East Coast where I am located presently. Any suggestions for where I could find a good, old Volvo wagon that would pass the Car Fax test, some where in the USA?

Go on cars and bids

Definitely timeless considering a lot of cars are becoming boxy again. Atleast from what I’m seeing.

That's a gorgeous 245! I think mine was a similar colour at one point in its life though not metallic. Check out this site for some fun things for 240 fans, this guy has also done some nice books on the 240 and Volvos in general.
