Volvo Amazon

A compoundly rounded, stylish somewhat Seussian Swedemobile. The "style" name for the Volvo 122 series, a mid-century car built when Sweden's roads were mostly unpaved. Tough, yet economical. Many daily drivers all over the globe. Other Volvo-lingo crossover, the Amazon can be a "Redblock", but is too round to be a "Brick." It was the first car to come with 3-point seatbelts. Many surviving examples on the US west Coast, especially Portland and Seattle. Driven in the US by folksingers, professors, artistic odd birds and off-gridders who also brew beer and ferment things. Driven in Europe and the rest of the world like a tough long-lasting car of economical size and disposition.
