Go ahead. Stare.

02 / The particulars
Handsome. With substance.
A Volvo 122S, also known as the Amazon. Light blue outside, black leatherette inside, and a red carpet that takes its job very seriously.

03 / A change of plans
Why am I selling it?
I bought a vintage Volvo. Life booked a move to Texas.
For a moment, I was going to be the person with the impossibly charming Swedish car. Now I'm the person with the impossibly charming Swedish car and a moving deadline.
I would love to keep it. But it's time for someone else to have their European-art-film moment.
Ready for its next chapter.2025 auction photograph
Character, yes. Perfection, no.
The previous listing noted paint chips and corrosion, dents, worn weather seals, bumper imperfections, and an intermittent radio. This is a vintage car with vintage-car things to discuss.
Bring your questions. The current condition and any changes since the auction belong in the conversation, along with a proper inspection.
04 / The next chapter
Go ahead. Make me an offer.
A very handsome Swedish gentleman is looking for a new home. Preferably with someone who appreciates a little history and a lot of personality.
