Sweden has the highest concentration of American classics outside the USA. Swedes love tickering in the garage with vehicles, bikes, boats, tractors...In the town where I live, I've seen a Ford RS 1600 Twin-Cam in Blue with Yellow stripes which is remindful of this beautiful P1800. One of my ex-work colleagues used to rave about the Volvo 240 "Only need a coil of wire and some pliers, you fix anything, good car the Volvo!". Great work Mr Bååth and the Cyan team, bra jobb!

[@MrGaryGG48]

This tendency for the "modern" cars to go to lower and lower aspect ratios is just stupid on real world street cars. The taller the rims are that usually indicates lower and lower aspect ratios. I don't know when "Old School" kicks in but I have a 2001 BMW 330xi that came with 45 series tires on 17" rims. On decent pavement, they handle well. Unfortunately, the real world these days doesn't run on decent pavement! In the last 7-8 years with this car (I've had it for 11 years) I've replaced two rims and two tires due to unavoidable pot holes. The roads are pitifully maintained and we keep hearing that this "new bond issue" is to fix the roads. Politely, that is a load of "creative fertilizer!!" When I see a hot new car on the street with 25 or 35 series tires, I just wonder where this guy thinks he can get out of town and actually drive that thing? Track day... that's the best answer, track day!! 🤔😒

[@AxLWake]

That Is A Badass Volvo... Very Well Done.!! GREAT VIDEO.!!

[@georgedebruyns3805]

What a beautiful bodied car, just love the stance, haunches, colour and stripe over the roof and stops short down the hood. It is a modern classic, well done.

Thanks Jay & guest. For me this is one of your best ever clips. The car is such a classic and has been upgraded so well and is so usable. I think Jay really enjoys driving it. The Volvo guy was a great knowledgeable passionate guest and easy to listen to.

Thank you Jay great video, this brought back so many memories for me, I worked for Volvo in Canada in the late 80's at a dealership in Winnipeg who had the franchise since the early 60's , in 1988 we got to 1800's 1 P1800 and 1 P 1800ES both fuel injected and both 130 hp from factory, great driving cars, the 2 door was 3100lbs and the ES was 3300lbs , it was right on the I.D. Plate when you opened the drivers door , the P1800ES was owned by a photographer who worked for the local newspaper, and we were selling it on consignment for him it was that Volvo light blue with black leather interior and was in original immaculate shape , never winter driven and serviced by Volvo mechanics only, he was asking $10,000.00 for it and was worth every dollar and i had the pleasure of driving it several weekends that summer and was lucky enough to sell it in early September in 1988 for him for $9500 which was a good value for a car only having just over 41,000 miles and this photographer is the reason i got into photography as a hobby right to this day , thank you for the great memories and an awesome 1964 Volvo Cyan ❤

I only became aware of these a little over a year ago. A local small-time dealer had a Cyan and an ES model for sale cheap. Really love the look of the ES with that big rear window. Unfortunately both were so roached out it would have cost a fortune to get either right. Cool cars though.

Mr. Leno is correct about the feel of cars in the past being better for reasons such as being able to rest your elbow on the door as you drive. A lot of us are willing to give up a bit of drag coefficient as well, in order to have larger windows to clearly see around the car. Having an ultrafast car where you feel like you are looking through blinders or binoculars to drive takes most of the fun out of the driving atmosphere. America got it right in the fifties and sixties; my 61 Imperial was my daily driver in the eighties, and I loved the panoramic front glass and squarish steering wheel, with an inspiring dash design. And like Leno's mother, we loved the rich brocade!

Has to be one of the most beautifully artistic car designs ever. Looks like super fun to drive on a Cali canyon rip.

You would take it to Colombia?

[@darwinharmon8341]

Beautiful car. One of the best looking you've had on the show

[@howardbartlett3026]

This car is classy, graceful, elegant, cool and stunningly beautiful. Compliments to Cyan for building and sharing it. Plus a big thank you to Mr.Leno for creating this video !

That is a beautiful car. My neighbors had one back in the 70s when I was a kid. They also had what looked similar to me, a Volkswagen Karmann ghia.

[@cwwcww7465]

That is a work of art ...i would like to see this with polished aluminum or chrome wheels..... Keep it up Jay.....

[@buchmannray]

I love these, they have a real classic look

[@josephmccormack6910]

Absolutely LOVE this one. Brilliantly designed...sharp....and handsome. Enough usable power and speed. Great episode. Great video.

[@deezhole]

I love the Swedish racing green too! Well done, leave it to the Swedes. Much love!

[@masjienistje]

Always found the P1800 a great looking car. This resto modded oneis a dream car.

[@quatervois7966]

One of the most beautiful cars ever designed. I'm glad that they have finally done what should have been done in the first place.

[@FanatikBuilds]

Beautifully built and engineered! Best looking Volvo I’ve ever seen too 👏

[@harleyb7880]
