Volvo: Safety with Style

Swedish automobile maker

Volvo Cars is a Swedish automobile maker founded in 1927 in the city of Gothenburg in Sweden. Volvo was formed as a subsidiary company to the ball bearing maker SKF. It was not until 1935 when Volvo AB was introduced on the Swedish stock exchange.
The Volvo brand has a reputation for comfort, solidity and longevity, but the cars are often compared with tractors, partially because Volvo Cars also make tractors, but also because the cars are considered slow and heavy. Volvo owners are often proud of achieving prodigious mileages.
A mix of lively text and sumptuous photography, the book gives an overview of Volvo's history from its formation in Sweden in 1925 through to the present day, describing the cars in fascinating detail, and giving technical information, buying tips and personal impressions of individual models. While Volvo continues to develop its sexy image, the enthusiast fan-base for the classic models remains strong, which makes this marque a prime addition to the popular Haynes Classic Makes Series. The series includes books on Jaguar, MG, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce.
